The majority of their business has run on the IBM i (AS/400) platform for several decades. In an effort to continually improve their operations, they sought to streamline their processes by taking advantage of today's latest technologies. That led them to modernization with the help of Profound Logic.     Modernizing their IBM i allowed them to: - Consolidate multiple green screens into one modern graphical UI, cutting down user data entry time from 38 mins to 5 mins - Leverage Node.js to completely automate emails sent out for each shipment - Eliminate a label printing and scanning process, saving up to 32 minutes per shipment Dayton Freight's modernization improved their business and made the lives of their users and customers easier. It also earned them the 2018 COMMON Innovation Award! *If you'd like to find out how modernization could help transform your business, fill out the form on the right to request a free modernization consultation.*   ### Start your free IBM i Modernization Consultation #### Related Resources - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Benefits of Modernizing Legacy Systems](https://www.profoundlogic.com/benefits-of-modernizing-legacy-systems/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Customer Satisfaction and Supply Chains](https://www.profoundlogic.com/customer-satisfaction-and-supply-chains/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Why Your Business Must Modernize Its Legacy Applications](https://www.profoundlogic.com/why-your-business-must-modernize-its-legacy-applications/) - \[fa icon="caret-right"\] Coding in 2021 and Beyond: Is Node.js Dead? #### Recommended for you - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] The Importance of API Security to Protect Sensitive Business Data](https://info.profoundlogic.com/the-importance-of-api-security-to-protect-sensitive-business-data) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Why API Matters for Enterprise Development](https://info.profoundlogic.com/why-api-matters-for-business-development-whitepaper) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] The Cost of Technical Debt to Business on IBM i](https://info.profoundlogic.com/technical-debt) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Node.js for Enterprise IBM i Modernization](https://info.profoundlogic.com/node) #### Watch now on demand - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] What is Code Transformation?](https://info.profoundlogic.com/code-transformation-stage-one) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Transform IBM i/AS400 Now](https://www.profoundlogic.com/transform-ibm-i-as400-now/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Profound API, Low-Code and Product Updates Announced at PLUS 2020](https://info.profoundlogic.com/plus2020) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] IBM i Transformation Risks Every Business Leader Should Know](https://info.profoundlogic.com/transformation-risks-wod) #### Company - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] About Us](https://www.profoundlogic.com/about-profound-logic/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Press Releases](https://www.profoundlogic.com/press-releases/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Events and Webinars](https://www.profoundlogic.com/events/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Careers](https://www.profoundlogic.com/careers/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Partnerships](https://www.profoundlogic.com/partnerships/) - [\[fa icon="caret-right"\] Contact Us](https://www.profoundlogic.com/contact/) [Sign up for our newsletter](https://www.profoundlogic.com/newsletter-signup-profound-logic/) | [Developers](https://docs.profoundlogic.com/) | [Blog](https://www.profoundlogic.com/blog/) | [Privacy](https://www.profoundlogic.com/privacy-policy) | [Contact](https://www.profoundlogic.com/contact/) | [1-877-224-7768](tel:877-224-7768) Copyright © 2026 Profound Logic Software | [Sitemap](https://www.profoundlogic.com/sitemap.xml) \[fa icon="chevron-up"\] ![](https://www.facebook.com/tr?id=237478240316292&ev=PageView&noscript=1)
