Case Study: Western Power Sports Serves Up a Powerful New IBM i E-commerce Solution


The Western Power Sports IT team needed an e-commerce solution that would provide flexibility, ease of use, and a fast production pace when building new websites that used their existing IBM i (AS/400, iSeries) platform.

Incorporated in 1960, Western Power Sports (WPS) is a wholesaler and distributor of power sports parts and accessories with corporate headquarters in Boise, Idaho. WPS distributes over 75,000 products that include motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile, watercraft and bicycle parts and accessories.

With the huge quantity of products online, Western Power Sports quickly outgrew their former, very limited, web solution. As the company continued to grow, their IT team needed a solution that would provide flexibility, ease of use, and a fast production pace when building new websites that used their existing IBM i platform. They found their solution in Profound Logic's RPGsp product.

Customer Success

“After Profound Logic sent me the information I needed to get started, the Western Power Sports IT team had it up and running in bout an hour. With our previous solution it would have taken a full week of me working on the product along with their team just to get a website online that still had no real functionality.”
