Any new system has to keep orders, prices, and stock flowing to your warehouse, customers, and suppliers. Map those connections while the architecture is still open.

System selection usually focuses on functionality and price. The connections to your warehouse, customers, suppliers, and sales channels get planned later, under time pressure, and in the projects we see, that is where most delays come from. Alumio is the integration platform (iPaaS) that helps you map those connections before you sign.
What these companies decided before they signed.
Decide early how customer-specific prices, stock, and EDI orders will reach your portal and webshop.
When Maxilia replatformed, it chose its integration layer as part of the platform selection, not after it. Exact Online, Shopware, and Sales Layer are connected once via this central layer, and Maxilia reuses those connections whenever it launches shops in new markets.
Decide how orders, stock, prices, and product data will move between your ERP, warehouse, and sales channels.
B&S took its integrations back in-house and defined its integration layers up front, before connecting its custom ERP, Akeneo PIM, and Adobe Commerce on the Alumio integration platform, to keep prices and product data right across every sales channel. Core integrations went live quickly.
Decide how product data and orders will flow between your ERP, MES, PLM, and EDI partners.
After vendor-linked software turned its landscape into a black box, Morssinkhof set one rule: every application with an API connects through the Alumio integration platform. New systems, like its planned HR and time-tracking tools, plug into that same layer. Dynamics 365 F&O, Shopware, SRC, and Smart Stone all run through it.
The system gets months of attention. The connections around it often get a few weeks at the end.
The selection is about functionality and price. The connections come later, under time pressure.
Make integration a selection criterion. Map which systems, data, customers, and suppliers are involved before you choose.
EDI, pricing, stock, and product data, one by one, for every new system.
Connect the new system once. Your WMS, CRM, PIM, and EDI partners connect to the same integration layer, so nothing is rebuilt from scratch.
Integration work isn't in the project budget. In the projects we see, that is where most delays and extra costs come from.
Scope the integration work before you sign, so it sits in the budget and the timeline from day one.
One of our integration specialists maps your integration needs with you: which systems need to work together, and what matters most for your project.

Three questions to add to your selection criteria. The integration checklist goes further, with 10 questions to answer before you choose your new system.

Start from the processes the system has to run, then check how it will connect to your warehouse, CRM, PIM, EDI partners, and sales channels. Plan those integrations during selection, before the architecture is fixed. That is when a change still costs the least, and integration effort can count in the decision next to functionality and price.
It depends on your processes, data, and landscape. A common reason for delays is that integrations are planned last and built under time pressure, often outside the original budget. Mapping them during selection gives you a realistic timeline, and the free integration assessment gives you a first indication.
Your own IT team or agency, or a partner from our network of implementation partners and system integration specialists. You keep your implementation partner. Alumio works alongside them, and because every connection runs in one place you can see, you're not tied to one developer or vendor.
We start from what you have. Legacy systems and custom integrations connect to the same integration layer, so old and new systems can run in parallel while you migrate one connection at a time.
In about 30 minutes, one of our integration specialists maps your integration needs with you. Afterwards, you get a detailed summary with recommended next steps. It is free and without obligation.
