Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
The stock Oracle holds for each shop reaches the matching Lightspeed POS registers, and every sale draws down that same location, so one branch's shelf is never quietly counted as another branch's.
Oracle keeps stock per location and a chain's tills sell from whatever the register was last told, so the two describe the same shop differently by Thursday. Head office sees a figure that includes a branch closed for refit, the shop sees a figure that stopped updating on Monday, and a customer is promised something that is three towns away. Staff stop trusting the screen and ring around instead. Connecting Oracle and Lightspeed POS ties each register to the location behind it, so a sale reduces stock where it physically happened and the number on the till is the number the chain is working from.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Products
Store locations
Stock positions
Store sales
Refunds
Price lists
Lightspeed POS registers are fed the Oracle stock position for the shop they stand in, so nobody promises a customer something that is sitting in a branch two hours away.
Every Lightspeed POS sale draws down the Oracle location that served it, so the chain's picture of where the goods actually are stays true right through a trading day.
Products and prices published from Oracle reach every Lightspeed POS register together, so a new line is set up in one place rather than at each till by a manager.
A new Lightspeed POS location is attached to its Oracle counterpart using the pattern already in place, so the shop trades correctly from the day the doors open.
Alumio reads the Oracle stock position for each location and sends it to the Lightspeed POS registers standing in that shop, so what a colleague sees on the screen is what is genuinely on the shelf behind them.
A trading day closes and Alumio posts the Lightspeed POS sales and refunds to the Oracle location that recorded them, so a shop's performance is its own rather than part of a regional total nobody can break down.
A customer collects an order in store, the Lightspeed POS register records it, and Alumio takes the stock out of that Oracle location, so the shop is not still showing an item somebody has already walked out with.
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 second connection most chains make is the app store colleagues pick collection orders with, because Oracle knows an order exists and Lightspeed POS knows the shop is busy, and neither tells anybody which parcel to fetch. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one and reuses the location mapping already set up, so a collection is picked against the same shop the stock came out of.
Both flows are automatic, and they run on different clocks on purpose. Sales and refunds leave Lightspeed POS as they happen, because a shop's stock position is wrong the moment one is missed, while products and prices are published from Oracle on a schedule so a change reaches every register at the same time. Both are set per flow rather than once for everything. What a register can post back is whatever Oracle exposes for it, so the route is built around that.
No, this is configured rather than coded. The routine it retires is the one where a manager keys a price change into each register and somebody else types the day's takings from Lightspeed POS into Oracle afterwards. Which shop maps to which location, and which price list each one uses, are entries in Alumio. Where a chain runs an unusual promotional rule that mapping cannot express, the Code Transformer takes that logic.
At the point the sale completes, not when the session is closed, and that is worth choosing deliberately. Waiting for the end of the day means Oracle spends trading hours describing a shop that no longer exists, which is exactly when somebody is checking availability for a customer. Sending each Lightspeed POS sale as it happens keeps the position live, and the session close then becomes a check on the day rather than the first news of it.
Each Lightspeed POS register reports what it sent and Alumio records the location it was sent to, live, so nothing about a trading day is reconstructed afterwards. A sale drawing down a shop Oracle has already taken out of use looks healthy on both sides while only the count disagrees, so it raises an immediate alert naming the register and the reason. Retries run where configured and no takings go missing.
