AGU opted to integrate with Alumio as they needed a feasible solution that quickly connected the systems in their B2C and B2B landscape, reducing manual labor. By integrating with Alumio, AGU was able to synchronize data that was impossible to do through their existing connecting, which optimized their B2B commerce landscape whilst streamlining internal and external workflows across the board for future-proofed success and digital scalability.
By connecting Centric (ERP) to Adobe Magento Commerce (e-commerce) data such as stock, prices, and order shipments are transformed which gave AGU instant access to all information, which streamlined their business processes for both themselves and their customers. Additionally, Centric was connected to Akeneo (PIM) which allows for data available in Akeneo, such as products, categories, attributes, and product models to be connected to the Centric ERP.
