Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Between a WordPress product page and the IBM AS/400 behind it nothing is retyped, because item detail is published outward and every enquiry is written back into the work the office already does.
A manufacturer's WordPress site usually lists what the business sells from a page somebody built once, while the IBM AS/400 holds what it really sells, at what price, in what pack. The two drift apart quietly, and the enquiries the site produces arrive in a shared mailbox where nobody can say how many there were or which of them turned into orders. Connecting WordPress and IBM AS/400 closes both gaps: the page is built from what the AS/400 holds, and an enquiry is written back where the office picks work up, so the website becomes part of the business rather than a brochure beside it.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Item numbers
Pack configurations
Price bands
Stock positions
Enquiry submissions
Customer accounts
WordPress pages are built from the item detail the IBM AS/400 holds, so a line the business stopped selling last year is not still being advertised to visitors.
An enquiry raised on WordPress is written into the IBM AS/400 alongside the rest of the day's work, so it is picked up in the same place rather than from a shared mailbox.
A quote comes back on the same pack and price band the WordPress page showed, because both come out of the IBM AS/400, so nobody is told one figure online and another by phone.
Alumio works with what the IBM AS/400 already makes available, and the mapping sits in Alumio, so serving a WordPress site does not depend on changing the older system.
Item numbers, pack configurations and price bands are read from the IBM AS/400 and published to the matching WordPress pages, so what a visitor reads is what the office would quote if they picked up the phone instead.
A visitor submits an enquiry on WordPress and Alumio reaches the IBM AS/400 through the interface it makes available, writing the enquiry against the item it refers to, so it joins the work the office is already looking at.
Stock positions held on the IBM AS/400 reach the WordPress page on the cycle you choose, so a visitor can tell for themselves whether something is available rather than sending a message and waiting until morning.
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.
Today the proof that something was delivered sits in a folder of scanned paper, and that is usually the next thing worth connecting. A document archive holds the signed notes the IBM AS/400 references by number only, so a query about a delivery stops being a walk to the filing cabinet. Alumio holds that connection alongside this one, so a WordPress enquiry about a past order reaches somebody who can answer it properly.
Both directions run automatically, on their own timing. Item detail and stock positions are read from the IBM AS/400 on the cycle you set, which keeps the machine's own overnight work undisturbed, while an enquiry submitted on WordPress is written back as it arrives because somebody is waiting on it. Choosing those two separately is a setting rather than a rebuild.
No, and that matters more here than usual, because nobody wants to open programs that have run correctly for twenty years. Alumio maps what the IBM AS/400 makes available onto the WordPress pages that present it, and that mapping is maintained in an interface. Where a layout on the older side is peculiar enough that it will not map as it stands, the Code Transformer converts it at that one step.
Whoever already works the list you write it into, which is the decision to make before anything is built. An IBM AS/400 does not have somewhere general for a message to arrive, so a WordPress enquiry has to become something the office is already looking at each morning. Naming that destination first is what stops the enquiry landing somewhere technically correct and practically invisible to everybody.
An enquiry that reached a list nobody is watching is the quiet failure, because the WordPress side shows it as sent and the customer hears nothing back. Alumio watches every write live and logs the submission with where it was placed on the IBM AS/400, so anything refused raises an alert naming the item and the reason. Retries run where configured, and unresolved enquiries stay listed rather than dropped.
