VeloxFactory is a web application that lets you manage and render JasperReports templates — via a clean frontend, a powerful REST API, or both. It turns the well-established JasperReports engine into something any application can consume with a single HTTP call.

🖥️ Desktop only — by design. VeloxFactory's views are complex enough that a proper mobile experience requires dedicated work. The application is intentionally optimised for desktop browsers — a minimum resolution of 1600×900 is recommended; anything below that will work, but becomes cumbersome to navigate. A mobile-friendly version is on the roadmap, but not imminent.

Where VeloxFactory Fits

JasperReports is a mature, battle-tested report engine. It produces high-quality PDFs, supports complex layouts, barcodes, images, and dynamic data — and it has been doing so reliably for decades. Integrating it directly requires a JVM on your server and Java code to drive it — which is a natural fit for Java stacks, but an overhead most PHP, Python, or C# teams prefer to avoid. VeloxFactory sits on top of the JasperReports render engine and exposes its capabilities via a clean REST API and a management frontend. The render engine runs in pure PHP — no JVM process required on your application server. You design your report templates in Jaspersoft Studio as usual, upload them once, and from that point on — rendering is just a POST request. ```http POST /api/v1/report-config/A5_KanBan/render Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer { "outputType": "base64", "parameters": { "P_ARTICLE_NUMBER": "4561287-154" }, "data": [...], "createHistoryRecord": true } ``` That is the entire integration. ---

Where It Came From

VeloxFactory was built by someone with a logistics and IT background who needed a simple, reliable way to generate article labels on demand — from whatever system was running at the time, without caring about the underlying report engine. The original idea was modest: a small API wrapper around JasperReports, nothing more. It grew. A frontend to manage templates. Connection configs for live SQL data. History records for traceability. Print task dispatching. A permission system. What started as "just get me a label PDF" is now a full suite — and the name stuck, question mark and all. ---

What VeloxFactory Does

At its core, VeloxFactory does four things: **Manages report templates.** You upload `.jrxml` files, and VeloxFactory analyses them automatically — detecting parameters, data fields, and image resources. Everything is stored, versioned, and ready to render. **Connects to your data.** VeloxFactory can execute SQL queries against live databases at render time. MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server are all supported. No live connection needed either — you can deliver data directly in the render request as a JSON array, which makes it equally useful for applications that already have the data in memory. **Renders on demand.** A single API call produces a PDF. You choose the output format — Base64-encoded inline, a file URL, or silent output for print-only flows. Rendering is synchronous and fast. **Dispatches print jobs.** Rendered PDFs can be forwarded directly to a print service via WebSocket, creating a traceable `ReportPrintTask` with status tracking. Labels off the printer, not just on the screen. ---

Who It Is For

VeloxFactory is for anyone who needs to generate documents — labels, reports, delivery notes, production sheets, certificates — reliably and programmatically. The typical home is in **logistics, production, and warehousing**, where printing article labels, kanban cards, or shipment documents is a daily operational need and downtime is not an option. More broadly: if your application needs to produce a PDF from structured data, and you do not want to build and maintain a report engine yourself, VeloxFactory is the answer. ---

Deployment

VeloxFactory is a standard Laravel application. It runs wherever PHP runs — which is nearly everywhere.

Scenario	Works?
Cloud VM or VPS	Yes
On-premise server	Yes
Docker container	Yes
Raspberry Pi on the shop floor	Yes
Jaspersoft Server	Not needed

The setup is intentionally slim. PHP, a database for VeloxFactory itself, and the JasperPHP render engine — that is the stack. No application server, no JVM process to manage, no separate Jaspersoft infrastructure. VeloxFactory bundles everything it needs.
