IBM i (AS/400) Document Processing

Paper documents still drive core business processes in organizations running IBM i (AS/400) systems. LegacyBridge bridges the gap between physical documents and your green screen applications — scanning, extracting, and entering data end-to-end without human intervention.

Documents We Process

Invoices & Purchase Orders
Work Orders & Repair Orders
Bills of Lading

From Paper to IBM i (AS/400) — Automatically

1. Document Ingestion

Upload scanned documents via the LegacyBridge dashboard, API, email inbox, or watched folder. Supports PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and multi-page documents. No templates or zones to configure.

2. AI Field Extraction

AI vision analyzes the entire document, identifying field labels, values, tables, and handwritten entries. Unlike template-based OCR, it adapts to document variations — different vendors, layouts, and formats.

3. Data Mapping & Validation

Extracted values are mapped to your IBM i screen fields. The system validates data formats, cross-references related fields, and flags anomalies for human review before entry.

4. IBM i Terminal Entry

LegacyBridge opens a TN5250 session to your IBM i, navigates to the correct program, and enters data field by field. It handles function keys, menu selections, and multi-screen workflows automatically.

Minimal Setup. Adaptive Learning. Low Maintenance.

Traditional document processing requires building OCR templates for each document type — defining zones, anchors, and extraction rules. When vendors change their invoice layout, templates break.

LegacyBridge uses AI vision that understands document semantics. It reads documents the way a human does — finding “Total Amount” by reading the label, not by checking pixel coordinates. New document formats work on day one.
