Alumio

From separate links to a single chain.

Three situations we encounter every day.

Why choose an Alumio partner?

  • Your supply chain relies on a daily manual export

    Every morning, someone exports a file from the ERP and imports it into the online store. If that person goes on vacation, inventory levels fall behind. We replace that manual process with an automated integration that runs on its own and alerts you if anything goes wrong.

  • Your integrations were built separately, and no one has an overview of them

    Each integration was originally built separately by a different party, each with its own logic. No one knows exactly which ones are currently running. With an integration platform, everything is in one place, and you can see at a glance what’s running.

  • If something goes wrong, no one knows where

    An order doesn’t arrive, and you don’t notice until the customer calls. Without logging, there’s no way to trace it back. Alumio saves every message, so you can see where it got stuck and resend it without having to call anyone.

Alumio as the engine behind your system integration

Every system you add solves one problem but creates half as many new ones: it has to communicate with what’s already in place. With five systems, that’s already ten possible connections—and they’re growing faster than your organization.

Alumio is the engine that brings order to all of this. It’s an iPaaS: a single platform through which all connections flow, with its own translation layer for each system. If you later add a marketplace or a WMS, it connects to what’s already in place instead of adding a new line.

The result is peace of mind. Every message is logged, every error can be traced, and an outage at a single supplier won’t bring your entire supply chain to a standstill.

What We Do at Alumio

We start by mapping out the supply chain: which systems are in place, where data flows, and which system takes precedence when two sources conflict. That last question is often overlooked and causes the most problems down the line.

Next, we build the integrations between ERP, PIM, the online store, WMS, and your sales channels, with error handling that specifies what needs to be redone and what resolves automatically. We migrate existing custom integrations step by step, so you never have to shut everything down at once.

After going live, we continue to monitor processing times and error messages. Every month, we discuss what caused issues and where we need to make adjustments.

Three things you’ll notice in our partnership.

Why choose Redkiwi as your Alumio partner?

  • You can see for yourself what’s running

    In the dashboard, you can see for yourself which integrations are running and where messages are getting stuck. Every month, we review this together, and you decide where we need to make adjustments. You stay in the driver’s seat; we make sure the technology supports that.

  • Independent advice

    We’ll also advise against using an integration platform if you have two systems that integrate perfectly natively. In that case, a platform is just overhead. That’s what ownership means to us.

  • Since 2004, with a dedicated point of contact

    Redkiwi has been building online stores and the systems that support them since 2004. So we understand both sides of the integration—not just the platform in between. You’ll work with a dedicated specialist who knows your business.

Frequently Asked Questions About System Integration

01/ What is an iPaaS?
An integration platform as a service: a single location through which all connections between your systems flow, with a unique translation process for each system. If you add a channel or warehouse system later, it connects to what’s already in place rather than requiring a new, separate connection.
02/ When is an integration platform worth it?
As soon as you have more than a handful of systems or connections built by different parties. If you have two systems that integrate natively just fine, then a platform is overhead. That’s exactly what we say.
03/ Can I migrate my existing custom integrations?
Step by step, with a fallback plan for each integration. We never shut everything down at once. This way, the store keeps running while one connection after another is migrated, and you can revert if an integration behaves differently than expected.
04/ What happens if a connection fails?
Every message is logged, so you can see where it got stuck and resend it. During setup, we define what recovers automatically and what requires a notification, so that a failure at a single supplier doesn’t bring your entire chain to a standstill.
