Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
A WooCommerce order for something made to order is a demand rather than a despatch, and CANIAS ERP is where it has to land before anybody on the shop floor is able to plan around it at all.
Nothing about a made-to-order product is a pick from a shelf. The web order is a demand on the shop floor, and CANIAS ERP is where that demand has to appear before anybody can plan around it. What usually happens instead is that the order is printed in the office and walked across, and the factory finds out about web demand last. No package is needed for this and nothing has to be built first: CANIAS ERP publishes what it makes available, and connecting WooCommerce and CANIAS ERP puts the order where planning already looks, so a web sale is a job rather than a piece of paper.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Orders
Order lines
Products
Production demand
Customers
Delivery dates
A WooCommerce order becomes a demand CANIAS ERP can plan around, so the factory sees what has been sold at the same time as the office rather than a day or two afterwards.
What the shop tells a customer about timing comes from the same schedule the plant is working to, so a date on a web page is not a number somebody hoped would hold.
What a customer is told about timing comes from what CANIAS ERP knows about the work rather than from a standard lead time somebody set once and never adjusted since.
The order reaches planning as a demand rather than as a printout carried across an office, which also removes the version where the paper is put down and forgotten for a day.
When a made-to-order product is bought in WooCommerce, Alumio raises the matching demand in CANIAS ERP with its lines and dates, so planning is working from the order itself rather than from somebody's description of it.
When CANIAS ERP schedules the work, the date reaches the WooCommerce order, so the customer is told what the plant actually expects rather than the standard lead time that was printed on the page when they bought.
When a web order does not become a demand, it is named rather than silently absent, so the gap is found while the promised date is still reachable instead of on the day the customer asks where their order has got to.
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.

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.
The record that releases finished goods is the one to add next. A product can be made and still not be shippable because it has not passed inspection, and only the quality record knows that. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so what the shop tells a customer about their order reflects whether the thing can actually leave.
Yes, and what an order becomes is worth deciding per product rather than once. A stocked item is a despatch and a made-to-order item is a demand, and sending both across as the same thing is how planning ends up ignoring the feed. Alumio raises what you nominate on the schedule you set, within what CANIAS ERP accepts.
No. Thirty web orders a week is thirty walks to the planning desk, and the walking grows with the orders while nobody's day does. Which WooCommerce product implies which kind of demand is configuration you can read and change. If a product needs a rule that configuration has no way of stating, the Code Transformer states it in one place instead.
A demand, if the product is made rather than stocked, and that distinction is the whole design of this. A despatch instruction tells the warehouse to find something that exists. A demand tells planning that something has to be made, which changes what is scheduled, what is bought and what the customer can be promised. Sending every web order across as the same kind of thing loses that.
The costly one is a web order that never became a demand, because the shop shows it as accepted and the factory never heard of it. Alumio names the order and the demand it should have raised, so the gap is found in hours rather than when the promised date passes. Each transfer is monitored live and logged, a refusal alerts with the reason, retries run where configured, and nothing is lost silently.
