Case Study: Leading Distributor Company achieves complete EDI visibility and seamless ERP connectivity with Radley, LLC's iR*EDI

Legacy EDI Replacement Adds Visibility Leading Distributor Looks to the Future with Updated Systems

Leading Distributor Company, a nearly century-old manufacturer and distributor of automotive aftermarket products, was operating an AS400-based EDI system tied to Infor PRMS and faced PRMS end-of-life, a non‑intuitive green‑screen UI, and limited visibility into trading‑partner transactions. IFS recommended Radley, LLC and its iR*EDI EDI solution as a fit to integrate with IFS and provide a modern interim EDI platform.

Radley, LLC mapped and migrated the legacy EDI system to iR*EDI—connecting it to the PRMS gateways to avoid ERP modifications—replaced the iSeries translator, supported existing and new trading partners, and automated numerous transaction types (stock transfers, inventory messages, ASNs, PO changes, Amazon drop‑ship, etc.). The implementation delivered complete visibility via Radley’s Business Activity Monitor dashboard, removed the old translator dependency, and prepared the Leading Distributor Company for a future IFS Applications implementation, with plans to add Radley Endeavor Process Automation.
