In a world where data is the new currency, how you use data is of the utmost importance. Many software developers and business analysts face an issue here. Oftentimes, the developers are unable to pull data for usage, while the analysts lack a solution to help them analyze the data they’ve gathered. Well, what if you had a way to solve this problem? We sure do, and we’d like to share.
Kato Integrations is partnering with New Generation Software (NGS) to bring your business valuable insights by redefining the way that your RPG developers can standardize their data management and business intelligence.
For many years now, we’ve championed RPG API Express (or RXS) as the ultimate RPG-based API development tool kit. Essentially, it allows you to perform countless tasks that web service developers typically undertake. These include (but aren’t limited to) creating and processing both JSON & XML, calling web APIs, and offering your own web APIs.
The capabilities of RXS are vast. It allows RPG developers to accomplish a substantial number of tasks varying in both complexity and depth. After all, APIs are absolutely everywhere, and many of them contain valuable goldmines of information waiting to be used.
NGS-IQ is a well-known solution on the IBM i, capable of delivering reports for all kinds of industries. Some of its most used features include:
NGS-IQ stands out with its ability to conduct advanced data queries and analytics without the reliance on SQL. This capability opens up possibilities for businesses that need to dive deep into their data but prefer a more intuitive approach. NGS-IQ’s ability to hook into RXS’s output allows for seamless processing and analysis, offering a novel approach to business intelligence.
Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization: Imagine leveraging RXS to connect with logistics providers’ APIs (such as FedEx or UPS) for real-time tracking information. This data can then feed into NGS-IQ, where it undergoes detailed analysis, helping businesses optimize routes, reduce shipping times, and lower costs.
Customer Enrichment and Validation: After utilizing RXS to pull comprehensive customer data from various sources, NGS-IQ can then be used to analyze the data, helping to identify customer trends and provide better business insights.
Retail Inventory Management: For retail sectors, integrating RXS with NGS-IQ can improve inventory management. Using these two solutions can help you track inventory levels across multiple channels in real-time, predict future demand, and make informed purchasing decisions. RXS fetches the data, NGS-IQ helps you analyze it.
