Hire SAP ABAP developers in Turkey. Are you looking for ABAP capacity for an S/4HANA migration, a rollout or a growing backlog of development requests? Experienced ABAP specialists are increasingly hard to find in Europe and in Turkey alike, and demand has grown further as mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC ends at the end of 2027. With our SAP ABAP developer service, ABAP, Fiori/UI5 and SAP integration specialists join your team for the duration of the project, without adding to your headcount.

Our consultants work from Istanbul with a large daily overlap with European working hours, in English, remotely through your VPN or on-site when needed. Below you will find the roles we provide, typical scenarios, how we work, KPIs, effort drivers, a selection checklist and answers to common questions.

When does external ABAP capacity make sense?

  • Your S/4HANA conversion has produced a long list of custom objects to adapt and your internal team is already fully booked.
  • Your SAP partner or integrator is short of ABAP resources and the project timeline is slipping.
  • Business users have been waiting months for reports, forms and small enhancements.
  • You need specific skills, such as RAP, CDS or CPI, for a limited period rather than a permanent hire.
  • You want to run a stable AMS model after go-live with a predictable monthly capacity.

Typical scenarios

Illustrative scenario 1: custom code backlog in an S/4HANA migration

Illustrative scenario. The readiness check shows that thousands of custom objects need to be adapted, and the internal team does not have the capacity. Approach: 2 to 4 ABAP developers for the duration of the project, resolving ATC findings, removing unused code and improving performance, followed by a move to an AMS support model after go-live.

Illustrative scenario 2: your partner lacks resources

Illustrative scenario. Your SAP partner or integrator is short of ABAP capacity and the plan is slipping. Approach: additional ABAP and Fiori developers working under the integrator’s project management. We also supply resources to consulting firms as a subcontractor.

Illustrative scenario 3: a backlog of reports and forms

Illustrative scenario. Users’ requests for reports, forms and small developments have been queued for months. Approach: a part-time or full-time ABAP developer works down the backlog over 2 to 3 months, then the work continues with a monthly hours package.

How we work

  1. Role, seniority, module knowledge (FI/CO, SD, MM, PP, EWM and so on), duration and remote or on-site expectations are clarified.
  2. CVs of suitable consultants are shared within 2 to 7 working days.
  3. After the technical interview and your approval, VPN and system access is set up.
  4. The consultant works within your ticketing system and transport process; a monthly timesheet and work report are provided.
  5. If a consultant needs to be replaced, we run a replacement process with a structured handover.

Engagement models

  • Full-time monthly assignment: a dedicated consultant for the duration of the project.
  • Person-day billing: for clearly defined work packages.
  • Monthly hours package: a fixed pool of hours for ongoing requests and AMS.
  • Team: from one developer to a multi-role SAP team; we scale from 1 to 200+ people.

Work is remote, on-site or hybrid, and shift coverage up to 24/7 can be arranged for critical support. Typical start is within 1 to 2 weeks after approval. For managed SAP application support, see SAP outsourcing, and for functional and technical consulting see SAP consulting in Turkey.

What drives the cost (no fixed prices)

  • Seniority and specialisation (classic ABAP versus RAP, CDS, CPI)
  • Module knowledge required
  • Full-time, part-time or hours package
  • Remote, on-site or hybrid, and travel needs
  • Duration and notice period
  • Language requirements beyond English

Selection checklist

  • Has the consultant worked on your SAP release (ECC or S/4HANA) and the modules concerned?
  • Can they show code they wrote, for example in a technical interview task?
  • Do they know your transport, code review and ATC rules?
  • Is access through your VPN and authorisation concept, with named users?
  • Is there a replacement process if the fit is not right?

Contract, IP and data protection

We work under a B2B service agreement; this is a service engagement, not employment. All code and documentation produced are assigned to you, and an NDA is signed before CVs with project details are discussed. Where consultants access personal data in your SAP systems, we sign a GDPR data processing agreement with Standard Contractual Clauses (UK IDTA for UK data), and our processing in Turkey follows KVKK.

Frequently asked questions

Can an ABAP developer work remotely?

Yes. Most of the work is done remotely over a secure VPN; on-site support can be provided for analysis workshops and go-live.

Do you also work on a person-day basis?

Yes. Besides full-time monthly assignments, person-day billing or a monthly hours package is possible.

Do you provide resources for SAP projects in Europe?

Yes. Our English-speaking ABAP and Fiori developers work close to European time zones and support international projects.

How quickly can a consultant start?

CVs of suitable consultants are shared within 2 to 7 working days. After the interview and access setup, the typical start is within 1 to 2 weeks.

Can you work under our SAP partner or integrator?

Yes. Our consultants can work under the integrator’s project management, and we also act as a subcontractor for consulting firms.

Do your developers know S/4HANA and RAP?

Senior profiles cover CDS views, AMDP, RAP, OData and custom code migration. We match the profile to your release and project type.

What happens if a consultant is not the right fit?

We run a replacement process: a new profile is proposed and the handover is planned so your project continues.

Who owns the code?

You do. All developments, documentation and transports are assigned to you under the service agreement.

Is this employee leasing?

No. It is a B2B service engagement. The consultant remains employed or contracted by 360 Soft and works on your project under the agreed scope.
