Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
A part being in IFS and a part being listable on Amazon are two quite different things, and the gap between them is measured in cancellations rather than in opportunity somebody missed.
Selling spare parts on Amazon is a different business from selling equipment, and an IFS installation is built for the second. It knows every part that has ever been specified, including the ones made to order, the ones on six-week lead times and the ones that exist only as a line on a drawing somewhere. Listing all of it produces cancellations, and cancellations are what Amazon measures you on. Connecting IFS and Amazon means the listings are the parts the business can put in a box this week, and the quantity behind them is one somebody can honour.

Despatches
What reaches Amazon is the parts IFS can supply from stock rather than everything the business has ever specified, so an order does not become an apology and a cancellation.
Amazon measures cancellations rather than forgiving them, so listing carefully is worth something in account standing rather than only in the margin lost on one order.
The figure behind a listing is what the business is willing to commit rather than everything on the shelf, so two channels are not both selling the last of something at once.
A part sold on Amazon arrives in IFS where the service business already works, so the despatch happens in the same place as everything else rather than in a second system.
When a part meets the rule in IFS, Alumio publishes it to Amazon with its price and available quantity, so the catalogue grows by decision rather than by somebody deciding to list the whole parts list one afternoon.
When an Amazon order is placed, it reaches IFS against the part it refers to, so the pick and the despatch happen in the place the rest of the service business happens rather than in a separate marketplace screen.
When a part is consumed by a service job rather than sold, the Amazon quantity follows it down, so the listing is not still offering something that left the shelf on an engineer's van earlier the very same day.
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.
Returns grading is the one that changes the numbers. A part that came back and was regraded as sellable is a different thing from one written off, and the Amazon quantity is wrong until that reaches IFS. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so the figure behind a listing reflects what actually came back as well as what went out.
Yes, and which parts qualify is a rule applied before anything is published rather than a list somebody maintains. Alumio publishes the parts and quantities the rule returns on the schedule you set, and brings orders back the other way. What can be listed and read is whatever each side exposes for it.
No. What the configuration actually holds is the rule deciding which parts are listable and how much of each is offered, and both of those are commercial judgements that will be revised once there is a month of trading to look at. Where the rule depends on something configuration cannot state, the Code Transformer states it in one place.
Being available now rather than obtainable eventually. A part on a six-week lead time is a real part and a bad listing, because a marketplace buyer expects despatch rather than a manufacturing slot. Usually the rule comes down to stock on hand, lead time and whether the part is service-only, and getting it written down is what turns a parts list into a catalogue somebody can sell from.
The one that costs a metric is an offer still live after the stock moved, because the listing looks healthy and the next buyer orders something that has gone. Alumio names the quantity the offer committed to and when it was read, so the exposure is one part. Each transfer is monitored live and logged, a refusal alerts with the reason, retries run where configured, and nothing is lost silently.
