A Fortra Case Study
Texollini, founded in 1989, is the largest knitting specialist for stretch fabrics west of the Mississippi, supplying performance, active and swimwear markets. The company struggled with making System i data from its TIM Datatex applications accessible and usable for nontechnical staff—standard System i reports were hard to sort, filter, update or analyze on demand.
Texollini implemented SEQUEL from Help/Systems as a front end to its System i, with two SEQUEL designers supporting 50+ users by building views, reports and menus. SEQUEL’s runtime prompting, update command, file-extracts and date-conversion functions let users run, format and summarize reports without programming, speeding performance, simplifying analysis (e.g., calculating days between order and ship) and saving significant time.
