Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
A repair request in TopDesk becomes a decision the moment Odoo says what the item cost and when it was bought, so nobody approves a fix that costs more than the thing being repaired is worth.
A TopDesk call names a person and a thing. What it cannot say is whether the thing is worth repairing, because the purchase date, the price paid and whatever is left of its useful life all sit in Odoo. So the service desk approves a repair on instinct, or waits for somebody in finance to look it up, and a laptop bought four years ago gets a screen costing half its replacement. Connecting Odoo and TopDesk puts the purchase behind the call, so a decision about a repair is made with the number in front of the person who has to make it, at the moment the customer is waiting for an answer.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Purchase records
Purchase dates
Asset values
Supplier records
Call records
Cost centres
A TopDesk call shows what Odoo paid for the item and when, so the person approving a repair is looking at the purchase rather than guessing the age of the thing in front of them.
The service desk stops raising a query with finance for every borderline repair, which is where the delay in a simple call actually accumulates rather than in the fix itself.
Repair costs are recorded against the cost centre Odoo holds for the item, so a department that keeps breaking equipment shows up in the ledger rather than in an anecdote.
Because the purchase is visible at the call, replacing something is as easy a decision to justify as repairing it, which is not true when only the repair quote is on screen.
When a call is raised in TopDesk about a piece of equipment, Alumio brings the Odoo purchase record, its date and its value onto the call, so the approver has the numbers without opening the ERP or asking anybody at all.
A repair quote is compared against what Odoo says the item is worth, so a fix costing more than a replacement is refused at the call rather than discovered weeks later when the repair invoice arrives from the supplier.
Repair costs approved in TopDesk are written to the cost centre Odoo holds for that item, so the spend lands on the department that owns the equipment instead of in a facilities figure that nobody ever breaks down.
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.
What IT gets asked for that the ERP actually holds is the useful test, and it is usually where a thing physically is. An asset discovery feed is the common addition, because Odoo knows what was bought and TopDesk knows who called, and neither knows which machine is on which desk today. Alumio holds both connections, so a call resolves to the equipment as well as to the person.
The caller and the asset are read together, because a call without an item cannot be costed. Alumio matches the equipment named on a TopDesk call to its Odoo purchase record and brings the date, the value and the cost centre onto the call. Approved repair costs travel back the other way, on the schedule you set.
No, and what matters is the caller rather than the record. Which TopDesk field identifies the equipment, how it resolves to an Odoo purchase, and what happens when it resolves to nothing are settings in Alumio's interface. Because asset naming in a service desk is rarely tidy, the Code Transformer stays available for reading an identifier that does not match the ERP's format.
The purchase date and what was paid, because those two turn a repair request into an arithmetic problem instead of a judgement call. TopDesk records who is affected and what is broken, and Odoo is where the money and the age of the item live, so an approver without them is deciding on the strength of how old the laptop looks. Bringing both onto the call is the whole point.
The caller is told a repair is approved while the change record says otherwise, which is the failure this catches. Alumio watches each call as it is raised, keeps the Odoo record it matched, alerts the TopDesk service desk immediately when an item cannot be resolved, names the reason, retries where configured, and leaves the call flagged, so no approval is given quietly against a value nobody read.
