Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Business Central item data feeds Akeneo automatically, so the PIM enriches products against real ERP records and every channel receives content built on the item numbers finance recognizes.
Businesses running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as the system of record while enriching in Akeneo often start the PIM from a spreadsheet. Without a live link, new items created in Business Central reach Akeneo only when someone exports them, so enrichment lags production, item numbers drift between systems, and channels receive content that no longer matches the ERP. Connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Akeneo through Alumio keeps item data flowing into the PIM, so enrichment starts from accurate records and stays aligned.
New Business Central items appear in Akeneo as they are created, so enrichment begins while a product is still in production rather than after a monthly export lands.
Akeneo builds on Business Central item and variant codes, so the identifier finance uses is the one channels receive and nobody reconciles two numbering systems later.
Business Central keeps commercial data such as pricing while Akeneo owns descriptions and media, so each system holds what it is best at without either overwriting the other.
Because ERP changes reach Akeneo automatically, the content Akeneo distributes reflects the current catalog rather than items that were renamed or discontinued in Business Central.
When an item is created in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Alumio creates it in Akeneo with its category and unit of measure, so the product team starts enriching immediately instead of awaiting an export.
When Business Central holds variant codes for sizes or colors, Alumio builds the matching family and variants in Akeneo, so enrichment happens once at parent level and inherits down rather than being repeated per variant.
When pricing or item status changes in Business Central, Alumio updates the record in Akeneo, so the PIM stops distributing a discontinued item and channels always receive the commercial data the ERP currently holds.
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.
Yes. Businesses feeding Akeneo from Business Central often bring a second ERP company or a marketplace feed into the same flow as they expand. Alumio handles both from one hub and reuses the item mapping already configured, so another company's catalog enriches through the same Akeneo families rather than needing a parallel setup of its own.
Yes. Alumio creates and updates Akeneo products from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central items as they change, carrying category, unit of measure, and variant codes across. You decide which ERP fields populate which Akeneo attributes, so commercial data arrives structured for enrichment rather than as a flat list someone has to tidy.
No. The step this removes is exporting items from Business Central to CSV and importing them into Akeneo, then repeating it whenever the catalog changes. Alumio holds the item and attribute mapping as configuration, so a new item category or variant dimension is added in the interface without a script or a manual import cycle.
Business Central should remain the source for pricing, stock, and item status, while Akeneo owns descriptions, attributes, and media. Alumio enforces that split in the mapping, so commercial figures flow one way from the ERP and are never overwritten by an enrichment edit, while product content is authored once in the PIM. Each system stays authoritative for the data it actually governs.
A price change that stalls before reaching Akeneo leaves the PIM feeding an outdated figure to every connected channel, so Alumio reports the stalled record rather than letting it pass. Each message is logged live with the item, the fields it carried, and the exact error that blocked it, such as a variant code Akeneo could not place in its family. Where configured the update retries itself, and if it cannot land the item is named in an alert, so the PIM never quietly serves a stale price.
