AS/400 (IBM i) Document Processing

Paper documents still drive core business processes in organizations running AS/400 (IBM i) systems. legacy bridge 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
  • Insurance claims
  • Patient intake forms
  • Shipping manifests
  • Inspection reports
  • Delivery receipts
  • Service tickets

From paper to AS/400 (IBM i) - automatically

1

Document ingestion

Upload scanned documents via the legacy bridge 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 AS/400 (IBM i) screen fields. The system validates data formats, cross-references related fields, and flags anomalies for human review before entry.

AS/400 (IBM i) terminal entry

legacy bridge opens a TN5250 session to your AS/400 (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.

legacy bridge 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.
