Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Quota targets and territory assignments agreed in Anaplan land on the Salesforce records reps work in, so nobody spends a quarter selling against a number that was superseded weeks ago.
Planning happens in Anaplan and selling happens in Salesforce, and between them sits a spreadsheet somebody emails at the start of each quarter. Reps work to quota numbers that were superseded weeks ago, territory changes reach the CRM late, and finance rebuilds actuals by exporting from the CRM to compare against the plan. Both teams believe they hold the current version. Connecting Anaplan and Salesforce removes the email step: agreed planning figures reach the CRM and actuals return the other way, so the comparison gets made once rather than twice.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Quota targets
Territory assignments
Account segments
Sales actuals
Forecast submissions
Pipeline summaries
Quota targets agreed in Anaplan reach the Salesforce records reps work in, so nobody sells against a number that changed after the kick-off deck was circulated.
Territory and segment assignments from Anaplan are applied in Salesforce directly, removing the reassignment spreadsheet that arrives late and gets applied inconsistently.
Closed business in Salesforce flows back toward Anaplan, so plan against actual is one comparison rather than two exports somebody reconciles by hand each month.
Because the figures reps see come from the planning system rather than an emailed copy, sales and finance stop arriving at the same review with different quota numbers.
When quota targets are agreed in Anaplan, Alumio applies them to the matching Salesforce users and records the change, so reps open the quarter against the figure finance signed off rather than a circulated draft.
A territory change made in Anaplan is applied to account ownership in Salesforce, so coverage reflects the plan from the day it takes effect instead of drifting for weeks until somebody works down a list by hand.
Closed business and pipeline summaries move from Salesforce toward Anaplan on a set cadence, so a re-forecast starts from current performance rather than from an export that was taken before the last fortnight closed.
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 ERP is the usual third system. Organizations connecting Anaplan to Salesforce add it because pipeline says what might close while the ERP says what was invoiced, and a plan needs both. Alumio holds those connections on one platform, so planning receives CRM and finance data through the same governed route instead of two separate extracts.
Yes, once the figures are available to read. Alumio connects to Anaplan through its available API, as it would any reachable system, and applies the quota and territory values you expose to the matching Salesforce records on a cadence you set. The quarterly spreadsheet stops being the mechanism, and each application is recorded so a changed number can be traced.
No, the connection is configured rather than coded. Mapping the Anaplan figures you expose onto Salesforce fields and setting when they apply is interface work, which replaces the spreadsheet and the bulk update that follows it. Planning models are built per organization, so the Code Transformer stays available where a mapping cannot express the shape, for instance splitting one planned figure across several owners.
The approved one, in almost every case. A quota a rep can see is a commitment, and exposing a plan that is still moving means the number changes under somebody mid-quarter, which costs more trust than the extra visibility earns. The practical approach is to decide which planning state is publishable before anything is connected, and expose only that. Working versions stay with the planning team.
A quota that failed to apply does not sit as a silent difference between the two systems. Alumio monitors each update in real time and keeps the values it attempted, so a figure Salesforce rejects raises an immediate alert and retries automatically where configured. The record carries the reason, often a user or territory that does not match, so the gap closes before anyone is measured against it.
