Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Alumio publishes the part of what Oracle holds that a storefront is meant to sell, so a Shopify catalogue is a deliberate subset rather than everything the business happens to have a code for.
An Oracle item master is built for a business that manufactures, buys, stores and sells, and most of what it holds exists for one of those purposes and not for a storefront. Publish all of it to Shopify and the catalogue fills with internal items, obsolete revisions and things sold only on contract. Publish it by hand and the catalogue is whatever somebody had time for. Connecting Shopify and Oracle turns the question into a rule, so the catalogue is the part of that list the business actually meant to sell, and it stays that way as the list changes.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Items
Item descriptions
Organisations
Price lists
Stock on hand
Orders
What reaches Shopify is the part of the Oracle catalogue the business decided to sell, so the storefront stops filling with internal codes that were never meant for a customer.
An item the business stops selling stops being offered, because the same rule that put it on the storefront takes it off when Oracle says it no longer qualifies.
Items and prices are published for the organisation the storefront sells for, so a catalogue reflects one part of the business rather than the whole of a group.
Why an item is on the storefront is something somebody can look up rather than infer, which matters most when a product is missing and three people have a theory about why.
When Oracle holds an item that meets the rule, Alumio publishes it to Shopify with its description and its price, so the catalogue grows by decision rather than by whoever had time to add a few products that week.
When an item stops qualifying in Oracle, it stops being sellable in Shopify, so a discontinued product does not keep taking orders that the business then has to apologise for and refund a few days later on again.
When a price list changes in Oracle, the Shopify products it covers are all updated together, so the storefront is never selling half of a range at this year's prices and the other half at the ones they were meant to replace.
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.
Not every question needs a third system, but one does here. A buyer raising a requisition through their own approval tool is spending against an agreement, and what they should see is not the public catalogue. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so the same Oracle items can serve a storefront and a procurement process without either being given the other's view.
Yes, and scope is set per organisation rather than globally, because an item that is sellable in one part of a group is often not in another. Alumio publishes the items and price lists you nominate for the organisation the storefront belongs to, on the schedule you set. What can be read is whatever Oracle exposes for it.
No. There are two usual routes: an overnight extract that somebody transforms, or a developer building against the ERP directly. Configuration replaces both, and the difference that matters is that the rule deciding what is sellable is readable by the person who owns the catalogue. Where the rule depends on something configuration cannot phrase, the Code Transformer expresses it.
A rule the business writes, and the honest part of the answer is that nobody can write it for you. Which Oracle application is in use matters here, because what marks an item sellable differs between them, so naming that is the first step. After that it is usually a combination of item status, organisation and category, and once agreed the catalogue maintains itself as the business changes.
The one that costs money is an item still on sale after the business retired it, because the order is taken and then cancelled. Alumio names the item and the point at which it stopped qualifying, so the exposure is a known list. Each transfer is monitored live and logged with what it carried, a refusal alerts with the reason, retries run where configured, and nothing is dropped unnoticed.
