Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Material availability, prices and the listings they keep alive move between SAP and eBay, so an offer stays live only for as long as there is something behind it that can actually be shipped.
An eBay listing is long-lived by design. It sits there earning its place in search, and it keeps selling at the quantity it was given until something changes it, which is entirely unlike a webshop reading stock on every page load. SAP knows the material ran out this morning. Left unconnected, the listing does not, so the order arrives, the customer waits, and the account takes the damage for a defect nobody chose. Connecting SAP and eBay keeps the offer and the availability in step, and decides which materials are worth listing in the first place.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Material records
Available quantity
Sales prices
Marketplace orders
Listing status
Despatch confirmations
Available quantity from the SAP locations you nominate updates the eBay offer on the schedule you set, so a listing stops selling when the stock behind it has gone.
Because the offer is held back rather than left running, the seller performance that decides whether you keep selling is not damaged by orders the warehouse could never fill.
Which SAP materials become eBay listings is a rule rather than a habit, so a catalog of thousands of materials does not quietly become a listing set nobody maintains.
Marketplace orders are created in SAP as they arrive, so a channel order is worked from the same place as every other order rather than from a separate marketplace screen.
Alumio publishes availability from the SAP locations you choose to the matching eBay offer on the schedule you set, holding back the quantity you nominate, so an offer runs out before the warehouse does rather than after.
An eBay order is created in SAP as it arrives with its marketplace reference kept, so the warehouse picks it from the ERP alongside every other order, and the reference survives for the despatch confirmation later on.
The rule that decides which SAP materials are listed is configured once, so slow lines and materials you sell only on contract never reach eBay and the listing set stays something one person can actually manage and review.
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 the channel takes back is the part most businesses connect second. A freight and parcel booking portal is the usual addition, because an eBay order has to move within a window and SAP holds the delivery while the booking sits somewhere else entirely. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so the parcel is booked against the order the ERP created rather than keyed from a screen.
Which materials are in scope is settled before any quantity moves, because a listing set is easier to keep small than to shrink. Alumio then reads availability and prices from the SAP locations you nominate and updates the matching eBay offers on the schedule you set, with the buffer you choose held back. Orders come the other way as they arrive.
No, and the listing rule is a setting rather than a script, which matters because it changes with the trading year. Which SAP materials list on eBay, at which buffer, from which locations, are choices in Alumio's interface. Where a business prices for a channel on a rule of its own, the Code Transformer takes that calculation and the rest stays configuration.
The ones you can ship reliably, which is fewer than the ones you sell. An eBay listing keeps selling at the quantity it was given until something updates it, so a material with erratic availability generates orders the warehouse cannot fill and the account carries the consequence. Choosing the materials and the buffer deliberately, and letting SAP availability hold the offer, is what makes a listing set worth having.
A listing that outlived the stock behind it is the failure, and eBay will keep selling it politely all afternoon. Each offer update from SAP is monitored live and recorded with its result, alerts fire immediately and on no activity per route, and retries run where configured. An offer that could not be updated is named with its material and its reason, so none is left running quietly.
