The problem
Warehouse and back-office staff manually re-key BOLs, packing slips, and carrier paperwork into AS/400 (IBM i) distribution and warehouse menus - whether you run Infor Distribution A+, Infor System21, Manhattan Associates WMS, JD Edwards Distribution, or a legacy TMS/WMS. This creates two problems:
- Transcription errors that misroute shipments and break inventory counts
- A single point of failure - when your operator leaves, the workflow stops
How it works
Upload or scan the shipping documents
A photo, PDF, or scan of the BOL, packing slip, or carrier document is uploaded to the legacy bridge console. No special format required.
AI extracts the fields
legacy bridge reads the document using vision AI - pulling PRO numbers, PO numbers, SKUs, quantities, carrier codes, and any other configured fields.
Data enters your AS/400 (IBM i) via TN5250
The agent navigates your AS/400 (IBM i) menus, locates the correct fields, and types the data - exactly the same way your operator does. Every keystroke is logged.
Human review on exceptions
If confidence is below threshold or a field is ambiguous, the agent stops and flags it for human review before writing anything to your system.
