Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Account standing and open balances held in AFAS appear on the Zoho CRM record a salesperson already has open, so nobody has to interrupt finance and wait to hear whether a customer can order.
Sales works in Zoho CRM and the money lives in AFAS, so the question of whether a customer can order anything gets answered by asking somebody. A rep messages finance, finance opens AFAS, and an hour of two people's day disappears into a fact that already existed. Nobody logs it, so nobody counts it, and it becomes the kind of delay a business stops noticing. The AFAS to Zoho CRM integration puts balance and account standing on the CRM record instead, which returns that hour to both of them. Alumio requests only the fields sales actually reads, so the accounting detail stays in AFAS.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Customer accounts
Open balances
Payment terms
Invoice status
Contact details
Order history
Reps stop messaging finance to check whether an account is clear, because the current AFAS balance and payment terms already sit on the Zoho CRM record they had open anyway.
The interruptions that arrive as quick questions disappear, since Alumio keeps the AFAS figures sales needs on the Zoho CRM record without anyone being asked to fetch them.
Incoming AFAS values are mapped to the options a Zoho CRM field already has, so an import does not fail halfway through on a payment term that nobody had added yet.
Only the AFAS fields you nominate are asked for, where AFAS lets you ask for them, and whatever comes back is filtered in Alumio before it lands on a Zoho CRM record.
A rep opens a Zoho CRM account and reads the AFAS balance, payment terms and invoice status already sitting on it, so a quote goes out knowing whether the customer is clear to order rather than merely hoping so.
A won deal creates the AFAS customer from the details captured in Zoho CRM, so the account is set up a single time and nobody in finance retypes a name and address that somebody in sales already entered correctly.
Invoice status from AFAS flags the Zoho CRM record, so the person about to call a customer about a new order already knows an old one is unpaid and can raise it themselves rather than being told about it later.
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.
A telephony system is a common next connection, because a call is the one customer interaction that usually leaves no trace in either system. Alumio holds those connections centrally and reuses the AFAS account matching already configured, so a logged call sits against the same customer the balance does, rather than against a name somebody typed slightly differently.
Yes, and which fields travel is the part worth deciding first. Alumio asks for the AFAS fields you nominate, where AFAS lets you ask for particular ones, and filters anything else out before it reaches Zoho CRM. That is what lets sales see account standing without the CRM slowly turning into a second copy of the ledger, which is the outcome nobody asks for and everybody ends up with.
No. Alumio is config-first, so the connection is assembled from reusable building blocks in a form rather than written. Customer fields, balances and the Zoho CRM drop-down options they map onto are set up once and maintained there, which replaces the export somebody currently runs on a Friday. Custom logic stays available through the Code Transformer where configuration will not reach.
Less than most projects start by sending. A rep needs to know whether this customer can order, on what terms, and whether anything is overdue, which is four or five fields. Cost prices, ledger codes and journal detail answer no question a salesperson has. Deciding that up front is less work than trimming a CRM back later, and it keeps the record readable.
A contact merged in Zoho CRM and then recreated from AFAS is the failure to design against, because a duplicate looks like data rather than an error. Alumio spots the mismatch at the point of writing: the attempt is logged with the field that would not match, escalated the moment it happens, and retried automatically where configured. Nothing is left to be found later as two customers with one balance quietly shared between them.
