RouteOne

Extract data from your IBM i and get it to the right people in the right format

Ditch individual query scripts and RPG code and replace them with one secure product. RouteOne enables you and other ‘power users’ to quickly write new IBM i data exports without any coding to maintain.

Select data from a Spool File and/or database and then convert it to a format of your choice before distributing it by your preferred method.

iRoute

Capture validated data from multiple sources and pass it to your IBM i

‘Listen’ for specific file types such as orders via email or updates to a Bill of Material (BOM) on your manufacturing shop floor and then (depending upon the rule) extract the data from those files and directly upload them to your IBM i in a secure and reliable format.

iKeyer

Automatically key data into your IBM i from 5250 sessions using a virtual terminal

Acting as a virtual terminal, iKeyer can be ‘taught’ input processes by recording an input session (or you can use its inbuilt scripts) to automatically pick up data from external sources and ‘key’ that data into your IBM i using a 5250 green screen session.

ProActive

Use native IBM i triggers for rules-based workflow automation

Replace costly, repetitive and error-prone manual processes with automated rule-based workflows triggered by changes to IBM i fields.
