Simplify business operations and elevate user productivity.
Applications built with Valence enhance efficiency and collaboration for a more agile, dynamic business. These are just a few examples where Valence has catalyzed operational transformation in recent customer projects:

Manufacturing
Shop floor personnel use Valence apps to gain real-time visibility into work order schedules, inventory levels and production data.
Customer & Supplier Portals
Valence apps promote self-service interaction with customers and suppliers through user-friendly external portals, reducing call and email volumes.
Management Dashboards
Using the low-code Valence app builder, developers make fast work of apps that give managers real-time insight into critical business metrics.
Custom Solutions
Valence apps provide the flexibility to solve unique business problems that can’t be effectively addressed using off-the-shelf software.
How Valence works.

Valence Portal
Manage access to your IBM i apps with this secure, intuitive portal for standard web browsers and mobile devices running iOS or Android.
Low-Code App Builder
Use Nitro App Builder to build everything from simple graphical query apps to fully optimized enterprise applications, with minimal or no coding required.
Valence Utilities
Use these IBM i modernization tools to simplify administration, edit and configure database files, and manage multiple instances of Valence on a single IBM i.
Developer Toolkit
Develop fully modern web apps for IBM i, including features such as generating PDFs and Excel files, sending email, and more.
Introducing Valence 6
Extend the power of Valence to all your platforms.
Our latest release frees you to work in your preferred development environment and to run the Valence portal on every major operating system. Your developers and users have access to all the tools they need on all the platforms they use.
Support for all UI frameworks.
Apps written in any language or framework can participate in Valence Portal security and session management. Simply include the new valence.js script in your index.html file to write apps in Ext JS, React, Angular and others. They’ll all run seamlessly in Valence 6.
Nitro App Builder enhancements.
Major improvements in our low code app builder include a larger and more intuitive preview as you develop your app in real time, better responsive design for phones and tablets, and improved color selection for charts. We’re always enhancing Nitro App Builder to provide new features and speed development of powerful apps.
Valence Universal (beta).
Although we continue to believe and invest in the unique power of IBM i, Valence Universal provides a pathway to other platforms to accommodate changing business requirements. Your apps developed with Node.js for Valence on IBM i can also run on Linux, Windows or OS X through Valence Universal. Existing customers can request a test copy of Valence Universal by emailing support@cnxcorp.com.
Node.js support.
Use Node.js to enable a “JavaScript everywhere” environment. The valence-connect package available on npm allows your apps written in Node.js to communicate with the Valence Portal for security and session management, giving you the option of writing your apps with RPG on the server side or switching to Node.js. You even have the option of using both RPG and Node.js simultaneously to support a low-risk RPG-to-Node.js conversion effort.
Build powerful apps fast with Nitro App Builder.
Use our low-code app builder to create queries with charts, lists, forms, maps and other components based on ready-made widgets, with no programming required.
Build dynamic dashboard apps with full color charts and graphs.
Enable users to navigate and filter results according to specified behaviors, update data as appropriate, and download data to Excel.
