Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Production output and plant data from Actemium systems reach Shopify as sellable availability, so what the line has genuinely finished is what the storefront is willing to promise a customer.
Plant and automation systems know what has been produced, tested and released. Shopify only knows what someone last typed into an inventory field. Between them sits a daily spreadsheet, which is why a storefront still shows stock that was scrapped at inspection, or holds back goods released hours ago. Connecting Actemium and Shopify through Alumio closes that loop: released production reaches Shopify as availability, and web demand becomes visible to the people planning the line. Output and what you are willing to sell finally move on the same clock rather than a day apart.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Production output
Quality release status
Finished goods stock
Sales orders
Order status
Product records
Only production that passed quality release reaches Shopify as available, so the storefront stops offering goods that were rejected at inspection and later have to be substituted.
Released output appears on Shopify within minutes rather than at the next manual update, which shortens the gap between a batch being finished and it being sellable.
Shopify order volume flows back toward production planning, so scheduling reflects what is selling now instead of a forecast someone assembled at the start of the week.
Output figures move between the plant systems and Shopify automatically, removing the manual rekeying step where a single transcription error quietly becomes overselling.
When a batch clears quality release in the plant systems, Alumio raises the matching Shopify availability, so finished goods become sellable as soon as they are shippable rather than at the next daily stock update.
Output placed on hold or rejected is withheld from Shopify rather than counted, so the storefront never promises units that cannot leave the site, and support is never left apologizing for a silent substitution.
Alumio feeds Shopify order and backorder volume back toward production planning, so a line that is running short against actual web demand is visible to the planner during the week instead of at the next review meeting.
Alumio sits between sales channels and fulfillment systems as a governed integration backbone. Orders are routed, transformed, and validated, while status updates return to every channel.
Authenticate your systems using Alumio's pre-built connectors. Choose from 200+ connector packages in the marketplace, plus unlimited custom integrations.
Define how data fields map between systems in a visual interface. Adjust formats, enrich records, and apply business logic, no custom code required.
Configure flows to run in real time on events, on a schedule, or both. Reduce manual data entry and let Alumio handle movement and transformation between systems.

Once your first integration is live, adding your ERP, PIM, WMS, or CRM connects to the same hub. Existing flows keep running. No rebuilding from scratch.
More can be connected, and the common third system here is the ERP, because plant systems report output while the ERP owns costing, stock valuation and order fulfilment. Alumio connects all three, so Shopify availability reflects released production while the ERP keeps the financial record. A warehouse system typically joins next, once dispatch needs to be sequenced against what production has released.
Yes. Alumio reads output and release status from the plant systems and translates it into Shopify inventory using rules you define, such as excluding held batches or reserving a portion for contracted customers. Because the rule sits in Alumio rather than in either system, commercial policy about what should be sellable stays separate from the raw production figure.
Alumio connects to industrial and plant systems through their available interfaces and is configured rather than developed, so the mapping from output records to Shopify inventory is built in the interface. Production environments are engineered per site, so this is a case where configuration handles the described flow and the Code Transformer remains available for logic a specific plant needs, such as translating a local unit or batch convention into a sellable quantity.
As soon as it is released and the flow runs, which for event-driven setups is a matter of minutes rather than the next daily update. Alumio triggers on the release event in the plant systems instead of polling on a fixed cycle, so the delay is the time to process the message. Where a business deliberately holds output back for allocation, that wait is a configured rule rather than a reporting lag.
Shopify holds its last known availability instead of drifting toward a wrong number. Every message between the plant systems and Shopify is logged with its content and monitored live, and an alert is raised the moment one is rejected, with the batch and the reason shown together. Retries run automatically where configured, and unresolved messages stay queued and visible so a released batch is never left unsold without anyone noticing.
