Manufacturing — Midlands

IBM i Modernisation &
ERP Integration

IBM iRPGAPICloud
Challenge

A mid-sized manufacturer was running core production and inventory systems on IBM i, but new cloud-based ERP software had no native integration. Manual data re-entry was creating errors and consuming significant staff time.

What we did

highgrove developed a REST API layer on IBM i using RPG and ILE, exposing core data to the new ERP. The solution eliminated manual re-entry and enabled real-time inventory visibility across both platforms.

Document Automation &
AI Processing

AIABBYYOCRWorkflow
Challenge

A logistics company was processing hundreds of delivery documents and supplier invoices manually each day. Volume was growing, accuracy was inconsistent, and the process was a bottleneck for billing.

What we did

highgrove deployed an AI-powered document processing pipeline using ABBYY FlexiCapture with intelligent classification, integrated with the client's TMS and accounting systems. Exceptions flagged for human review; the rest flows automatically.

Challenge

What we did

highgrove conducted a full infrastructure audit, then planned and executed a phased migration to AWS. We took on full managed IT responsibility, freeing the internal team for strategic projects. DR capability established within 90 days.
