Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
The SolidWorks to Omnia AI integration feeds released engineering specifications and revisions into pricing, so every recommended price is calculated against the product engineers approved.
When engineering data stays in SolidWorks and pricing rules run separately in Omnia AI, somebody exports specifications to a spreadsheet whenever a product changes. Material swaps, weight changes and new variants reach the pricing team late, so recommendations are calculated against last quarter's product. Commercial teams then defend margins they cannot explain. The SolidWorks to Omnia AI integration removes that handoff: released specifications, bills of materials and revisions reach Omnia AI as they are approved, so pricing always reflects the product currently being made.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Product specifications
Bills of materials
Material attributes
Engineering revisions
Product variants
Price recommendations
Every Omnia AI recommendation is calculated from the specification SolidWorks released, so a material swap moves the price now instead of surfacing later in the margin report.
A revised material or weight in SolidWorks reaches Omnia AI as the change is approved, so pricing rules react to the new cost base before quotes go out against the old one.
Nobody rekeys dimensions, finishes or bill of materials lines out of SolidWorks, which removes the transcription errors that quietly distort an Omnia AI price list.
SolidWorks remains where product truth is maintained and Omnia AI consumes it, so pricing stops keeping a parallel product list that drifts further out of date with every release.
When a variant is released in SolidWorks, Alumio maps its attributes into the structure Omnia AI expects, so the new variant carries a considered price from launch rather than picking one up after the first order lands.
A material substitution approved in SolidWorks changes what the product costs to build. Alumio sends the revised attributes to Omnia AI, which recalculates its recommendation, so quotes leaving that week carry the new cost.
Each engineering revision released in SolidWorks reaches the matching product in Omnia AI, so a superseded specification cannot sit behind a live price while the drawing office has already moved on to the next version.
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.
More systems can be added. Manufacturers who link SolidWorks to Omnia AI usually bring in their ERP next, because landed cost and purchase prices sit there rather than in CAD, and a pricing rule is only as sound as the cost behind it. Alumio runs each connection on one platform, so adding a webshop or a marketplace later reuses the product data already flowing out of SolidWorks.
Yes, revisions can move without anyone triggering them. Alumio reaches each system through its available API, as it would any reachable system, and maps released specifications, material attributes and bill of materials lines between SolidWorks and Omnia AI on a schedule or as approvals happen. Pricing analysts stop asking engineering which version is current, and Omnia AI stops working from a specification already superseded.
No, this integration is configured rather than coded. The manual export that carries specifications from SolidWorks into a pricing spreadsheet is replaced by mapping engineering attributes to the fields Omnia AI expects, set up in Alumio's interface. CAD-derived data is rarely tidy, so Alumio's Code Transformer covers the awkward remainder, letting you write custom logic for a nested bill of materials or a unit conversion that configuration alone will not reach.
Start with the attributes that move cost or shape demand: material, finish, weight, dimensions and bill of materials depth. Those are the SolidWorks fields that change what a product costs to build and ship, which is what an Omnia AI pricing rule needs to reason about. Attributes that only matter on the shop floor, such as tolerances or fixture notes, add noise without moving a price and are usually left out.
The revision is held, logged and flagged before pricing ever acts on it. Alumio monitors each transfer in real time and keeps the full payload, so a rejected specification shows exactly which attribute Omnia AI refused and where the transfer stopped. Alerts reach the team immediately, retries run automatically where they are configured, and the pending item stays visible in one place until it clears. No release is silently dropped between the two systems.
