Celonis Custom App Workshop – From pain point to effective Celonis app in two days
Many companies invest heavily in the Celonis Process Mining Platform – but there is often a gap between dashboard transparency and real process improvement. Insights are not turned into concrete action. This is exactly where our Celonis App Workshop comes in. In just two days, we develop a precise, action-oriented app specification for your individual Celonis app from a clear business pain point. The result: a structured basis for app development that guides users to targeted measures and generates operational effectiveness.
The workshop combines process mining, app design, data knowledge, ERP data expertise and concrete measure logic. Instead of creating more dashboards, you develop a functional app with views, KPIs, triggers and actions – tailored to your process, your roles and your system landscape.
- From pain point to clear app specification
- Prioritized action logic instead of dashboard standstill
- Data feasibility check e.g. for SAP MM, SD, GTS
- Reliable roadmap with costs, risks and connection paths
What you get from our Celonis App Workshop
Our Celonis App Workshop offers you clear benefits and practical results – beyond buzzwords and hype:
- Concrete app specification instead of slides: We create a directly usable sketch of your Celonis app including all views, KPIs, data objects and measures.
- Proven methodology from productive apps: Development experience from several live apps such as the CBAM Control App in the Celonis Marketplace.
- ERP data competence: Realistic assessment of data feasibility, e.g. in SAP MM, SD, GTS and supplementary platforms.
- Pain-to-action instead of a data graveyard: We define measures, responsibilities and escalation logic.
- Clear roadmap: Effort, risks, technical requirements and the appropriate implementation path - custom app, marketplace app or internal development.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about the Celonis App Workshop
A Celonis Custom App is an individually developed application on the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform. It goes far beyond classic dashboards as it combines process data with defined measures, role logics, action flows and interactive views. A custom app provides users with exactly the information they need in the respective process step – including data-based recommendations, triggers and next steps.
In the Celonis App Workshop, we develop the complete app specification: structure, app views, KPIs, actions, data objects, user roles and process logic.
A dashboard delivers data, a Celonis app delivers actions.
Dashboards are used for reporting and analysis. Celonis apps, on the other hand, are user-centered, process-oriented applications with clearly defined business views, catalog of measures, filters, triggers, signals and action flows. They combine process mining and operational management.
The goal of an app is not just insight, but action – and this is exactly what the workshop is geared towards.
The workshop is suitable for all companies that already use Celonis or want to develop an app – regardless of whether they are in Procurement, Supply Chain, Finance, Operations, Sustainability or the Center of Excellence.
Typical participants:
- Procurement & Sustainability (Maverick Spend, CBAM, EUDR, LkSG, CSRD)
- Sales & Operations (delivery reliability, order-to-cash, order process)
- Finance (working capital, receivables management)
- Process Excellence & CoE (value contribution, action loop, use case prioritization)
- IT & Data Teams (Custom App Development, Data Modeling, App Studio)
The Celonis App Workshop comprises two full days (6-7 hours each).
Preparation:
- 30-minute discovery call to clarify the use case
- Coordination of participants and roles
- Checking data availability (SAP MM, SD, GTS or other sources)
- Provision of a short preparatory document with questions and agenda
This ensures that we can work directly with relevant data, clear pain points and realistic hypotheses in the workshop.
The costs start at EUR 12,500 plus VAT for a standard setup – regardless of whether the workshop is held on site or hybrid.
The final price depends on:
- Travel expenses
- Language (German or English)
- Depth of the preliminary analysis
- Number of integrated systems
After the discovery call, you will receive a binding offer.
SAP is the most important data source for many Celonis apps.
In the workshop, we analyze together which SAP tables, processes and data fields are required for the app – especially from SAP MM, SAP SD and SAP GTS.
We check:
- Data quality
- Technical feasibility
- Performance of the data models
- Necessary transformations
On request, we can also integrate supplementary sources such as supplier platforms or CORA (Ventum).
After the Celonis Custom App Workshop, you have a complete app specification – and you choose one of three implementation paths:
- Custom app development by Ventum
- Consulting Day model: You develop yourself, we accompany you
- Use of an existing Ventum Marketplace app (CBAM Control App, EUDR Manager)
You will receive a roadmap with effort, data requirements, risks and recommendations.
Yes – the workshop is also useful without an active license.
In this case, we deliver:
- Structured requirements
- Data feasibility analysis
- Logic of measures
- App-Blueprint
Optionally, we can check together whether a Celonis trial or a marketplace app is a good way to get started.
Celonis Academy = product knowledge, training, learning
Celonis App Workshop = business value, result, app specification
We deliberately do not start with the tool, but with the business problem. In the workshop, we develop a user-centered app design including measures – a result that is directly transferred to the app development.
Both formats complement each other: Academy provides tool knowledge, our workshop provides the app concept.
Ventum Consulting has:
- won the Celonis Ecosystem Hackathon with the CBAM Control App
- two productive apps in the official Celonis Marketplace (CBAM Control App, EUDR Manager)
- More than five productive custom apps rolled out for customers
- Built up in-depth data, SAP and process mining expertise
This experience is fully incorporated into the workshop.
Yes, the Celonis App Workshop can be conducted entirely in German or English. All documents, templates, app blueprints and results are available in two languages.
