Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
The customer set the terms of this and the account depends on meeting them, so the EDI order becomes a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central document and the response goes back on time.
A customer large enough to insist does not ask whether you can receive EDI. It tells you the format, the message types and the deadline, and the account depends on being able to say yes. A business without any of that in place usually finds somebody to read the messages by hand at first, which works until the second customer asks for something slightly different. Connecting Alumio EDI Broker and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central means the orders arrive as documents in the ERP and the responses go back the way the customer expects, without the business having to become an EDI department.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Orders
Order lines
Despatch advice
Invoices
Acknowledgements
Customers
Being able to trade the way a large customer requires stops being a question, because their orders arrive as Business Central documents and the responses go back on time.
Trading can begin on what the exchange already provides rather than waiting on anything being built, which matters when the customer has given a date rather than asked a question.
Once the first partner is trading, a second asking for a slightly different version of the same thing is an adjustment rather than the same project run again from the beginning.
An acknowledgement is part of the obligation rather than a courtesy, and sending it automatically is what keeps a supplier scorecard from recording a business as slow to respond.
When a customer sends an EDI order, Alumio turns it into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central sales document with its lines and its dates, so the warehouse can see it without anybody opening a message first.
When the order has been received, the acknowledgement goes back in the form the customer asked for, so the supplier scorecard they keep on you records a business that answers rather than one that has gone quiet.
When a message arrives that does not match what was agreed with that partner, it is held and named rather than made into a partial document, so somebody deals with it well before the warehouse picks against it.
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 partner who sends the order usually expects the despatch advice and the invoice to come back the same way, and those come from different parts of the business. Connecting the warehouse system is what makes the return leg work rather than being typed. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so the whole exchange is one arrangement.
Yes, and which message types matter is the customer's decision rather than a design choice on your side. Some partners send orders and expect only an acknowledgement back; others require despatch advice and invoices on their own timetable. Alumio handles the ones that customer has specified, on the schedule they set rather than the one that would suit you, and what can be created is whatever Business Central exposes for it.
No, and who does the work afterwards is the part that matters. A customer changing a message type is a normal event rather than a crisis, and if adjusting to it means finding a developer then the account sits at risk every time. Because it is configuration, the person who handles that customer handles the change, with the Code Transformer for what configuration cannot state.
An acknowledgement, and in their format rather than yours. Large buyers treat silence as a failure to receive and score it accordingly, so an order sitting unprocessed in somebody's inbox looks identical to an order that never arrived. Sending the response as the document is created makes received a fact rather than an assumption, which is what the scorecard is actually measuring.
The one that costs a scorecard is an acknowledgement never sent back, because at your end the order arrived and at theirs nothing happened. Alumio names the response the partner was waiting on and what stopped it. Each message is monitored live and logged with what it carried, a refusal alerts with the reason, retries run where configured, and nothing is lost silently.
