Good Question Leonardo.

Typically Fiori consists of web applications and cannot directly integrate with SMP .

Fiori Web applications only runs in browser. But for these web applications to run as any normal native application , it is to be packaged into a native container using Cordova .

This might help to know about cordova and how it works .

SAP has developed and delivered a native container  on cordova technology "SAP FIORI CLIENT" to run the fiori web applications.

There are very good blogs at  and which might give more insight on this.

As of date SAP Fiori client is only integrated from SMP SP04 which was very recently released.

and the main missing feature in SMP cloud . (though the underlying netweaver gateway technology remains the same)

SMP based apps and Fiori apps has different architectures as shown below:

Fiori is a set of web applications that runs in a mobile/desktop web browser.A separate browser is available to run these apps called SAP Fiori client for mobile, it can be downloaded from apple app store and google play. Fiori apps are developed using SAPUI5 framework. Fiori has 300+ mobile apps. It is free for SAP business suite customers. Fiori configuration guides are available in SAP Market Place. The source code of the applications are available, so apps can be customized with SAPUI5 knowledge.

Since these are web applications it will not support features like offline, push notifications and access to native features of phone. To add these features to the app SMP is needed (licensed). In future offline support and more features will be available with Fiori apps through kapsel plugins (plugins comes with SMP 3).
