Introducing the Alumio Route Builder

Alloy Automation is an embedded iPaaS for ecommerce and retail, built primarily to help SaaS companies offer native integrations to their customers and to automate commerce-specific workflows across Shopify, Amazon, and logistics platforms. Alumio is built for the operational layer: connecting ERP, commerce, PIM, CRM, WMS, and finance across manufacturing, wholesale, and distribution, where integrations are business-critical and governance is a requirement. Different jobs, different operating layers.
