Document entry automation for IBM i and AS400
Stop retyping invoices,
claims and orders into IBM i
LegacyBridge reads incoming documents, checks the information, fills the correct IBM i screens and waits for your team to approve the transaction.
Test it with one real document — using your own data, your own system and your own workflow.
No ERP replacement · No changes to your core IBM i application · No automatic submission during the controlled proof
Keep the system. Remove the typing.
From document to approved entry

Test it without giving up control
Your data. Your system. Your approval.
Start with one real invoice, claim, order or work document.
LegacyBridge prepares the IBM i transaction and stops before submission. Your employee checks every field and decides whether to approve it.
There is no forced switch from the old process to the new one. Your current process keeps running throughout the test.
Nothing is submitted without your approval.
One document. One IBM i workflow. Every action reviewed by a person.
Test one real documentThe problem
The manual work around it is
Your IBM i system is not the problem
Your IBM i system may run the business reliably. But the information arriving around it comes through modern channels:
- PDFs received by email
- Scanned forms
- Photos taken on a phone
- Supplier spreadsheets
- Customer orders
- Insurance claims
- Shipping documents
- Purchase orders
- Work orders
- Files pulled from partner portals
Someone still has to open each document, find the right screen, type every field and check the result.
LegacyBridge removes the manual typing while keeping your existing IBM i system, screens and business rules in place.
Slow queues
Work waits for someone to be free to type it in.
Typing mistakes
One wrong digit becomes a costly correction.
Rework
Errors are found late and have to be fixed twice.
Repetitive work
Good people spend their day copying fields.
It is not only PDFs
LegacyBridge works with any readable document: PDFs, scans, images, spreadsheets, emails and printed paper. If a person can read it, LegacyBridge can read it too.
Your team can also snap a photo of the document on a phone, directly in the app, and the transaction is prepared from that photo.
AS400, iSeries and IBM i are the same system
They are not three different platforms. It is the same system after two rebrandings: it launched as the AS/400, was renamed iSeries, and is called IBM i today.
Whichever name your team uses, LegacyBridge works with the workflow you already run.
Who LegacyBridge is for
Built for companies that still run important work on IBM i
LegacyBridge is for businesses where IBM i — also known as AS400 or AS/400 — is still a core system and employees still enter information into it by hand.
LegacyBridge is likely a good fit when:
- Your team regularly receives invoices, orders, claims, work orders or shipping documents.
- Employees copy information from documents into IBM i screens.
- Processing slows down when document volume increases.
- Your IBM i application works, but connecting it to modern document sources is difficult.
- Changing the core system feels costly or risky.
- You do not want to create an internal automation department.
- You want to prove the result with one workflow before committing to anything larger.
- You need human review before records are created or changed.
- Your security team needs clear control over access, data and approvals.
- You need a partner used to working with large and security-sensitive organizations.

How it works
From incoming document to completed IBM i entry
The document arrives
By email, shared folder or straight from your phone camera. LegacyBridge accepts any readable document format, not just PDFs.
LegacyBridge reads it
It pulls out the fields that matter: customer or supplier number, order number, product codes, quantities, prices and dates.
LegacyBridge fills the IBM i screens
The same screens your team already uses, in the same order they would use them. No new software installed on your system.
Your team reviews and approves
Nothing is submitted until a person checks it against the original document.
Controlled proof
Not a prepared sales demo. A controlled proof using your real process.
Most demos use sample data and a process the seller prepared. LegacyBridge can instead be tested with one of your real documents, your actual IBM i screens, your existing rules and your normal employee review process.
You see exactly what it would do before it is allowed to do it.
One document. One IBM i workflow. Every action reviewed by a person.
Test one real documentLow risk
Why the proof is low risk
No automatic final submission
The transaction stops and waits for a person.
No forced cutover
Your current process stays available the whole time.
No changes to your core application
Your IBM i system stays exactly as it is.
Start with one document
A single workflow, not a company-wide project.
Uses your real business rules
The proof follows how your team actually works.
A person stays in control
Your employee decides what gets approved.
Runs inside a security setup you approve
Access and permissions are agreed upfront.
You can stop at any point
No commitment to continue after the proof.
The proof exists to answer one question: can LegacyBridge complete this real process correctly and safely?
