SAP Development in Canterbury
Custom development for Canterbury organisations running SAP, built to keep the core clean. Where logic once went inside the system as ABAP touching standard objects, the supported approach now favours extensions alongside it — consuming released interfaces from a separate runtime, so your code and the vendor's upgrade path stop being entangled.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every requirement becomes another ABAP object inside the core, and the upgrade cost grows with each one.
What you get
What we deliver
- Side-by-side extension used where the logic does not need to sit inside the core
- Released interfaces consumed rather than reading tables directly
- In-app extensibility used where the requirement genuinely belongs in the system
- Fiori applications built where users need a task-focused interface
- Performance considered against data volumes that are rarely small here
- Developments registered and documented, since undocumented ABAP is the default

Working in Canterbury

SAP Development in Canterbury — common questions
- What is side-by-side extension?
- Building the functionality outside the core system and integrating through published interfaces. Your code deploys and upgrades on its own schedule, and the ERP stays close to standard — which is the entire point when upgrades are the recurring cost.
- Why not read tables directly?
- Because table structures are internal and change between releases, whereas released interfaces carry a compatibility commitment. Direct reads work until they silently do not, and the failure surfaces during an upgrade with no obvious cause.
- Is everything better outside the core?
- No. Logic that must run inside a transaction, or that depends on data the moment it changes, belongs in the system. The judgement is whether the extension genuinely needs that proximity — most reporting, integration and interface work does not.
- How do we avoid another undocumented estate?
- Register developments as they are built, with the business purpose and the owner. The reason old SAP estates are expensive to migrate is not the volume of code but that nobody can say what any of it was for — and that is a habit, not an inevitability.
- Do you work with businesses across Kent?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Canterbury and the surrounding Kent area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Canterbury businesses do you usually work with?
- Student-facing booking and ordering systems, and seasonal staffing tools for hospitality operators. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Retail, Healthcare and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Canterbury?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Chelmsford, Colchester, London. Canterbury is an urban area of roughly 160,000+, and we take on work across the wider Kent region rather than the city boundary alone.
