July 23, 2012 - Profound Logic Software has released a new case study with Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway. (www.wlerwy.com)

Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway (W&LE) is a long-time IBM i customer, who realized that their outdated 5250 green screens were holding them back. These applications created bottlenecks for customers who needed to submit orders, as well as productivity losses with W&LE employees. "Some customers did utilize an EDI solution, but the process of inputting data was still very manual and tedious," says Marc Masters, IT Director at W&LE. "One wrong keystroke could cause significant problems with the order."

To solve this problem, W&LE turned to Profound Logic Software. The railway used the Profound UI toolset to create a self-service portal where customers can place their own orders, thus removing bottlenecks caused by the former manual processes. "We wanted to streamline the ways in which our customers could place orders and offer feedback," says Masters. "Now our customers can send us their orders directly from our Website, which eliminates the time, effort and potential errors that would occur with our old methods."

W&LE’s online self-service portal speeds the placement of orders and increases customer satisfaction
