Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Product content and images managed in Pimcore reach a Sylius storefront as taxons, variants and option values, so developers stop shipping ordinary catalog changes as a code deployment.
Sylius gives a development team control of the product model, which is the reason to choose it and the reason catalog work ends up in a pull request. Merchandisers wait for a release to change a description, and product images live wherever the last integration put them. Pimcore is built to hold exactly that content, with class definitions modelled for the implementation and a native asset library. The Sylius to Pimcore integration divides the work properly: Pimcore owns product content and assets, Sylius owns the storefront and checkout, and neither team blocks the other to publish a change.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Products
Variants
Product options
Product detail
Media assets
Category taxonomy
Merchandisers publish product content from Pimcore to the Sylius storefront directly, because the arrangement is configured in Alumio rather than compiled into the application.
Product images live in the Pimcore asset library and reach Sylius as references, so a storefront serves the approved version rather than whatever the last migration uploaded.
Locale-specific wording held in Pimcore reaches the matching Sylius channel, so a second market is launched by populating content rather than by branching the catalog itself.
Because product data arrives through a configured arrangement, a Sylius team spends its time on checkout and performance instead of maintaining an importer for merchandising.
A product is completed in Pimcore with its detail, its images and its category placement. Alumio publishes it to Sylius as a product with its variants and option values, so the listing appears without a code change.
A merchandiser adds a size to a Pimcore product. Alumio creates the matching Sylius variant with its option value and inherits what the product already carries, so the storefront offers it without a developer involved.
Translated wording entered against Pimcore products reaches the Sylius channel serving that market, so a locale goes live once its own content is complete rather than when a separate catalog import gets written.
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.
A search and merchandising service is the common addition, because a Sylius storefront is fast at fetching a known product and a shopper who does not know the name needs something else. Alumio holds both connections and reuses the Pimcore arrangement already built, so the search index is fed the same detail the storefront shows rather than a separate export.
Yes, and matching the two product models to each other is where the work sits. Pimcore class definitions are modelled for the implementation while Sylius expects taxons, options and variants, so Alumio matches one shape to the other once and then publishes changes as they are approved. New detail follows the same arrangement without a fresh import being written.
No, this is configured rather than coded, which is worth saying plainly for two systems a development team usually extends in code. Class definitions, content names and option values are matched in Alumio, replacing the bespoke importer a Sylius project normally maintains. For a derived value neither model holds directly, the Code Transformer lets you calculate it in the flow.
Pimcore, because it is built as an asset library and Sylius is built as a storefront. Keeping the master image and its metadata in Pimcore means one approved version, with crops and renditions derived from it, while Sylius holds references and serves them. The alternative, uploading files into the application, puts image governance inside a deployment cycle where merchandisers cannot reach it.
A product that arrives without a matching class is the failure to watch, because it sits unclassified rather than reporting an error a merchandiser would notice. Alumio logs each publish live with what it carried, so a product Sylius cannot place raises an alert immediately naming it and what would not match. Retries run automatically where configured, and unresolved items stay listed, so nothing is quietly half-published.
