Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
An SAP material master holds far more detail than any catalogue should show, so what reaches Pimcore is only the part somebody outside the business will actually read rather than all of it.
SAP holds everything anybody ever needed about a material: planning data, procurement detail, plant settings, classifications added by three different projects. Almost none of it belongs in a catalogue, and nobody has written down which parts do. So a Pimcore implementation either receives the lot and drowns the enrichment team, or receives whatever the person configuring it guessed at, which is then argued about for a year. Connecting SAP and Pimcore makes that selection explicit and reusable, so a catalogue is built from a decision rather than from whatever came across.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Material master
Classifications
Long texts
Units of measure
Sales statuses
Media references
Only the SAP detail the business agreed belongs outside reaches Pimcore, so the enrichment team works a set that matters instead of a copy of the whole material master.
A rule decides when an SAP material is worth a place in the Pimcore catalogue at all, so a part created for a single order does not appear where a customer is browsing.
Planning and procurement detail stays in SAP where it belongs, so Pimcore holds product truth for the outside world rather than a second copy of absolutely everything.
A sales status changed in SAP reaches the matching Pimcore product, so something withdrawn from sale stops being published without anybody having to remember to do it.
Alumio maps the SAP detail the business nominated onto the matching places in Pimcore and leaves the rest in the ERP, so the catalogue team inherits a working set rather than a material master with a search box on it.
A material reaches Pimcore only when it meets the conditions you set in SAP, so a catalogue is not quietly filling with one-off parts, samples and items created for a single customer who ordered them once in 2019.
When a sales status changes in SAP, Alumio updates the Pimcore product so the channels reading from it stop publishing the item, so a discontinued product leaves the catalogue that day rather than at the next 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.
If nothing else is ever connected, the people who most need this data still will not have it. Sales staff learn products from a training platform that nobody updates, while Pimcore holds the current description and SAP holds the current status. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so the person in front of a customer is working from the same product information the website is.
It can, with the selection and the readiness rule both applied in transit. Alumio reads the SAP detail you nominate for materials that meet your conditions and writes it onto the matching Pimcore products on the cadence you choose. Filtering before the write is the point: a catalogue that receives everything and hides most of it is a catalogue nobody trusts the completeness of. Writing the selection into Pimcore stays within what it accepts.
No, and none of it is work inside SAP. The list somebody emails around before each phase is what goes, along with the argument about who owns what. Which SAP detail becomes which part of a Pimcore product, and what makes a material eligible, are entries in Alumio. Where a value has to be derived from classification data, the Code Transformer carries it.
The business, through a rule rather than a person checking, and writing that rule down is most of the project. SAP creates materials for reasons that have nothing to do with selling, so a status, a material type or a sales organisation usually decides it. Agreeing which of those makes something catalogue-worthy stops Pimcore filling with parts nobody intended to publish.
A product that updated while a channel was mid-publication is the failure that produces a half-described page, because both systems are working correctly. Alumio monitors each write live and records the SAP material with the Pimcore product it reached, so anything refused raises an alert naming both and the reason. Retries run where configured, so nothing is quietly left part written.
