Orders, invoices, and forms arrive every day as emails, PDFs, scans, phone photos, and downloads from partner portals.
Your AS/400 (IBM i) can't read them, so people have to.
Open the document.Find the right screen.Type every field.Submit.Check.Repeat — hundreds of times a day.The result: slow queues, typing errors, rework, and skilled employees stuck doing data entry.
legacy bridge reads incoming documents, validates the data, and fills the correct AS/400 (IBM i) screens automatically.
Your team just reviews and approves.The result: faster processing, no typing errors, no rework, and your team focused on work that matters.
No automation strategy, no data migration and no change to your existing AS/400 (IBM i) application. Bring us one process. No upfront investment required.
Select an invoice, claim, order, work order or other document your team currently enters manually.
Start small - one document type is enough to prove the workflow.
Which AS/400 (IBM i) screens your employee uses, which fields they enter and which checks they perform.
Environment, access, permissions, data handling, approval step and what legacy bridge is allowed to do.
legacy bridge reads the document and prepares the AS/400 (IBM i) transaction. It stops before the final submission.
Your employee compares every field with the original document.
The transaction moves forward only after human approval.
The approval gate - your employee decides before anything is submitted.
Test more documents, automate the workflow or stop. No wider rollout to commit to first.
One document. One AS/400 (IBM i) workflow. Every action reviewed by a person.
One document. One AS/400 (IBM i) workflow. Every action reviewed by a person.
Read vendor invoices, check required fields and prepare the transaction in your AS/400 (IBM i) finance or accounts payable system.
Take incoming customer orders and prepare them in the correct AS/400 (IBM i) order screens.
Extract claim information, follow the required screen sequence and hold the transaction for employee review.
Read supplier documents, identify product and quantity information and prepare the purchase order transaction.
Read work instructions, product details, dates and quantities and prepare the work order in the manufacturing system.
Accuracy
Made specifically for AS/400 (IBM i) document entry. legacy bridge is designed around AS/400 (IBM i) screens, menu structures, field entry and the way these business applications behave.
Capacity
More documents can be processed without immediately hiring additional data-entry staff.
Focus
Experienced staff spend their time handling unusual cases, helping customers and making decisions instead of copying fields.
Control
legacy bridge can prepare the work while your employee remains the final decision-maker.
legacy bridge is built to complete a specific business process, not to give your team a collection of automation tools that they must build and maintain themselves.
No ERP replacement. No changes to your core AS/400 (IBM i) application. No automatic submission during the controlled proof.
Work orders, materials, production records, bills of materials and inventory movements.
Sales orders, purchase orders, supplier documents, product information and stock updates.
Receiving documents, bills of lading, shipment records and warehouse updates.
Account forms, transaction documents and reconciliation records.
Orders, returns, supplier invoices, product updates and warehouse documents.
Packaged or custom AS/400 (IBM i) workflows available through supported terminal screens.

Announcement
The team that builds and runs digital systems for PUMA, The New York Times, The Met and more than 500 other organizations now stands behind legacy bridge. Your product, your setup and your contacts stay the same. What grows is the engineering, security and support capacity behind them.
General-purpose RPA tools can drive green-screen sessions, but you have to build and maintain the screen logic, field validation and exception handling yourself. legacy bridge is a finished product for document entry into AS/400 (IBM i): it already knows how to read documents, check the data and fill the right screens, and it stops before submission so your team keeps control.
No. legacy bridge works with the AS/400 (IBM i) application you already run. It uses the same screens your employees use today, so there is no migration, no re-platforming and no change to your core system.
No. legacy bridge works through the existing screens and does not require new APIs, database access or changes to your programs. If you already have interfaces you want to use, we can discuss them, but they are not a prerequisite.
Yes. AS/400, AS400, iSeries, System i and IBM i are different names for the same platform family used over the years. legacy bridge works with all of them as long as the application is accessible through terminal screens.
Yes. Most AS/400 (IBM i) environments run custom or heavily modified RPG and COBOL applications. legacy bridge is configured for your specific screens, fields and checks, so it does not depend on a packaged ERP.
Yes. Customers run legacy bridge in production on AS/400 (IBM i) today, and the same terminal engine speaks TN3270 for IBM Z mainframes, VT for OpenVMS and Unix, and HP 6530 for HP NonStop. It can also work through legacy web portals and desktop applications reached over Citrix or RDP. Each new system starts with the same controlled proof on one real document. See legacy system automation and mainframe automation.
It is an AI agent rather than an RPA toolkit. Classic RPA replays recorded steps that you build and maintain; legacy bridge reads documents and screens by meaning, decides which screen and field each value belongs to, and stops for a person when something is unclear. It does the whole document-entry job as a finished product, with an approval gate and a full audit trail. More on AI RPA and agentic automation.
Yes. The proof runs on one of your real documents and follows your actual AS/400 (IBM i) workflow, inside an environment and access setup your team approves. Your employee checks the result, and nothing is submitted without their approval.
No. During the controlled proof legacy bridge prepares the transaction and stops before the final submission. Nothing is posted to your system unless your employee reviews the result and approves it.
No. Your team keeps working exactly as before. The proof runs alongside the current process on one document type, so there is no downtime and no interruption for your operations.
Very little. We need one real document, a walkthrough of the screens your employee uses for it, and agreement on the security and approval rules. After that, your employee only reviews the prepared result and approves or rejects it.
You decide based on the evidence. You can test more documents, extend the workflow to production with the approval gate in place, or stop. There is no wider rollout to commit to before you have seen the results on your own data.
Yes. Before the proof we agree on the environment, access, permissions, data handling and the approval step. legacy bridge only performs the actions that were agreed and nothing else.
Yes. The approval gate is a standard part of the workflow. Every prepared transaction can wait for your employee to review and approve it before anything is submitted to AS/400 (IBM i).
legacy bridge flags unclear or missing fields instead of guessing. The transaction is held for your employee, who sees exactly which values need attention and decides how to proceed.
The error and the screen where it occurred are shown to your employee, and the transaction is not submitted. Your team resolves the exception the same way they would today, with full visibility of what happened.
Invoices, sales orders, purchase orders, insurance claims, work orders and similar business documents that arrive as PDFs, scans, emails or portal downloads. If you have another document type entered into AS/400 (IBM i) by hand, we can review it together.
Document AI and intelligent document processing (IDP) tools extract data and stop: you get a file of fields that someone still has to key in, or an integration project to build. legacy bridge reads the document and then enters the record into your existing system and confirms it was accepted. See document AI that finishes the job and data entry automation.
The company behind legacy bridge is certified under ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management and ISO/IEC 27017 for cloud security controls, and runs on PCI DSS-compliant infrastructure.
Yes. The team behind legacy bridge serves Fortune 500 companies and well-known organizations, including Puma, The Met, The New York Times, Boy Scouts of America and the University of Michigan, among more than 500 clients.
