Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Units of measure and pack configurations held in Oracle arrive in Akeneo already converted, so a case quantity is never published into an attribute that is supposed to describe one piece.
Oracle records what a business buys, holds and sells, which is often three different units for the same product: a pallet inbound, a case in the warehouse, a piece at the point of sale. Akeneo publishes to channels that assume one. When the conversion happens in a spreadsheet, or in somebody's head, a case figure eventually lands in a field meaning piece, and the product page reads as wrong rather than as broken. The Oracle to Akeneo integration does the conversion in the flow, so each channel receives the unit it expects and the arithmetic happens once instead of per person.

Pack to piece arithmetic runs in the flow rather than in a spreadsheet, so every channel reading Akeneo works from the same conversion of the same Oracle figure.
Measurements reach typed Akeneo attributes with the unit they belong to, so a weight or a volume is stored as a quantity and a unit rather than as a bare number.
Because pack configurations come from Oracle, what a customer orders is expressed in the same terms the warehouse picks in, and fewer orders arrive needing a conversation.
New Oracle items land in Akeneo with their codes, units and categories already populated, returning the afternoon a product manager used to spend recreating them by hand.
An item held in cases in Oracle reaches Akeneo with both the case configuration and the piece equivalent, so a trade channel and a consumer channel each receive the figure that makes sense to the people buying from them.
Weights and dimensions from Oracle populate the matching typed attributes in Akeneo, so a shipping calculation or a storefront filter works from real values rather than from a text field somebody keyed by hand.
An item created in Oracle appears in Akeneo ready for content, with its units and pack configuration set, so the product team starts from a record that is already right instead of one somebody has to assemble by hand first.
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.
A distributor syndication channel is often next, because the product data that satisfies your own storefront is also what resellers keep asking for in their own format. Alumio holds those connections centrally and reuses the Akeneo mapping already configured, so a distributor feed is a new output on existing data rather than a second catalog to maintain.
Yes, and the conversion is the interesting part rather than the transfer. Alumio calculates in the flow, so a pack quantity from Oracle can be published as both a case figure and a piece figure into the Akeneo attributes that expect each. The arithmetic is configured once and applies to every item, which is the difference between a rule and a habit.
No, this is configured rather than coded. Unit conversions, pack sizes and the typed Akeneo attributes they populate are set up in a form and reused across the catalog, replacing the lookup table that currently lives in a shared spreadsheet. For a conversion rule odd enough that configuration cannot carry it, the Code Transformer takes custom logic at that step.
Whichever the channel buys in, and the point is that Akeneo can hold both. Its attributes are typed and carry units, so a case figure written into an attribute meaning piece is a valid value that is simply untrue, and nothing will reject it. Publishing the selling unit per channel, converted in the flow, avoids asking a person to remember which is which.
A pack figure sitting in a piece attribute is the failure that hurts, because it publishes cleanly and reads as a bargain. Alumio validates against the unit each Akeneo attribute expects, monitors every update live and keeps what it sent, so a value that fails the rule is held and alerted with the item and attribute named. Retries run automatically where configured, so nothing wrong goes quietly to a channel.
