Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
A delivery date offered in a meeting is really a promise about people, so AFAS capacity reaches the Salesforce record before anybody commits the business to a date it has no way of keeping.
AFAS holds the money and the people in the same place, which makes it unusual and useful: it knows who is employed, what they are booked on and what a project has already consumed. Salesforce knows what is being sold. The two meet at the moment a rep offers a date, which is normally made from optimism and a general sense that the team is busy. Then the delivery team inherits a commitment that nobody checked. Connecting AFAS and Salesforce puts the capacity position on the opportunity, so a date is offered against what the business can actually staff.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Customers
Projects
Booked hours
Employee availability
Open balances
Sales orders
The AFAS booking position sits on the Salesforce opportunity, so a delivery date is offered on what the business can staff rather than on the assumption somebody will be free.
Because the constraint is visible while the deal is open, the awkward conversation happens with the customer rather than internally after a commitment has been made.
Open balances from AFAS reach the same Salesforce record, so a rep can see both whether the work can actually be done and whether the last one was ever paid for.
Accounts are matched between AFAS and Salesforce on the identifier you nominate, so a project, an invoice and an opportunity all point at the same organisation.
Alumio reads booked hours and availability from AFAS and writes the position onto the matching Salesforce opportunity, so a rep sizing a delivery date sees what the coming weeks already hold rather than asking somebody to check.
When a Salesforce opportunity is won, Alumio creates the AFAS project it becomes with its customer attached, so the hours have somewhere correct to be booked from the first day rather than landing on a general code.
Hours recorded against an AFAS project are written onto the Salesforce account, so an account manager preparing a renewal knows what was actually delivered instead of what the original proposal said it would be.
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.
The people who ask for the next connection are usually the ones planning the work, and what they want is the scheduling tool. AFAS records the hours after they happen and Salesforce records the promise before it does, and the plan in between sits somewhere else entirely. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so a date offered to a customer and a date in the plan are the same date.
It can, on the cadence you set and with the detail chosen deliberately. Alumio reads booked hours, availability and open balances from AFAS and writes them onto the matching Salesforce records. What travels is decided when the route is configured, so a rep gets enough to size a commitment without pay, employment or ledger detail arriving in a CRM that has no business holding it. Creating the project depends on what AFAS offers over its interface.
No, this is configured rather than coded. The message a rep sends asking whether anybody is free is what goes, and the hour it costs the person who answers. Which AFAS values reach which Salesforce fields, and how accounts are matched, are entries in Alumio. Where availability has to be calculated from several bookings at once, the Code Transformer takes that step.
Whoever owns the delivery team's time, and the useful change is that they can now disagree early. A date offered in Salesforce becomes a commitment the moment a customer accepts it, so the point to involve delivery is while the opportunity is open rather than at handover. Putting the AFAS position on the record does not make the decision, it makes the conversation possible before it is expensive.
A project marked delivered before the customer accepted it is the failure worth catching, because the account looks healthy and the renewal conversation opens badly. Alumio watches each update live and records the AFAS project with the Salesforce record it reached, so anything refused raises an alert naming both and the reason. Retries run where configured, so nothing is left quietly half applied.
