What's so great about MagicLogic's Cube-IQ?
Quite a lot, actually. I put together a checklist of the top must-have attributes for your Enterprise. Let's see how Cube-IQ fits the bill...
Adaptable and Friendly: the Cube-IQ Service Oriented Architecture grew from a simple premise: customers know what they need, and what they need is a system that works seamlessly with what they already have. These requirements can be distilled into a number of core attributes that will make or break your integration project:
Customizable: MagicLogic's business is thriving on the enhancement and tuning of its products to meet customers’ exact requirements.
Flexible: the system you buy needs to be configurable to your needs. Cube-IQ works with you, whether that’s in a WMS/TMS environment, or intense cartonization operations, or the guy on the loading dock scratching his head over a 5,000 SKU order. In each case your unique requirements are met by Cube-IQ’s flexible, intuitive rule set.
Scalable: where do you see yourself in five years’ time? Cube-IQ grows with you. Architecture is specifically designed to fit the bill from a single CPU to a network of super-servers. No additional software is required as you grow your operations. The system is self-tuning, self-balancing and fast.
Easy to implement: You and your team don’t have the time to customize your existing applications to work around new applications. Cube-IQ can be setup to work with any system out there that can generate XML data. Your system integrators will be up and running in a few days with its straightforward yet powerful API.
Easy to look after: Most operations nowadays are 24/7 and expect five nines availability . Downtime must be minimized or obviated where possible. Cube-IQ includes diagnostics and self-monitoring tools. The optimization engine is the enterprise solution you expect, installing as an NT service.
Speaks the right language: Cube-IQ utilizes the industry-standard of XML for data transfer. Of course it also support CSV, XLS, SOAP, SQL and direct API calls. Even the entry-level standalone system is built right around a powerful SQL-compatible relational database.
Portable: Cube-IQ goes with you. Browser-based software to help you work wherever you are. We leverage the power of Sun’s Java to ensure that you can run on any platform too.
Well supported: MagicLogic has been in business since 1995, and has shown consistent growth, year in, year out. MagicLogic provides fast support, regular software updates and a dedicated, professional team.
In summary, Cube-IQ knows its business: your business. This software is a feature-rich product which can adapt to your specific business rules and practices, right out of the box.
