It allows us to create better interfaces for our customers. We get more insights on data transfered and can focus on extending the software landscape of the customer via one central platform.

Apart from helping us seamlessly integrate our SAP ECC to Magento/ Adobe Commerce, Alumio also presented us with their great SAP API Plugin solution. The API Plugin helped easily install API points that SAP ECC lacked, which helped significantly improve its integration capabilities. Alumio's user-friendly interface and integration features make managing or modifying the integration easy and intuitive, and the strong Monitoring and Logging system makes it easy to detect integration errors.

We created a complexly flexible integration between e-commerce systems like Shopware, Magento which we connected to PIM systems (like Akeneo) and ERP systems running on Microsoft, SAP or Exact technology. The benefit is the ease to do adjustments to running data routes. It is stable, and does not require any maintenance.

Alumio makes it easy for ShopWorks' customers to integrate with ERP, PIM, CRM systems and just about any other software for digital growth. Apart from enabling the creation and management of integrations via a user-friendly interface, without any custom code, Alumio also makes it easy to interchange software without disrupting business continuity or data integrity. The in-built Monitoring and Logging features are great at detecting and helping resolve integration errors, and the platform features offer the flexibility to modify integrations as per business needs. Last but not least, Alumio makes it possible for ShopWorks customers to centralize all data across integrations in one central hub, which ensures better security and compliance.

Integrations are a complex subject. A lot of work a developer would do on an integration is 'bootstrapping' - almost superfluous work that would be mostly the same for every implementation. However, since every system you're connecting to might just be slightly different, it's really hard to automate the process or reuse your work. Take even something like authorization: most APIs use a header 'bearer' token, but some don't put their authorization in a header but in the query string. Or use a complicated Oauth system with FIVE DIFFERENT KEYS (looking at you, Akeneo). For the end-user, all of this is just "radio static". They - rightly - don't care. But before we used Alumio, about half of our developer's time was wasted on this 'bootstrapping' of integrations. Alumio supports just about everything out of the box, meaning that we save time on this bootstrapping. Meaning we can use our time on the really important part of integrations: Business Logic. The UI of Alumio allows easy access (and possible creation of-) to integrations, meaning it is easy to 'see' what is happening with the data within an integration. This is great for both our (technical) consultants as well as developers. Especially if you haven't made an integration yourself, it can be extremely difficult to understand - but Alumio makes this alot easier. Overall, we are extremely happy with Alumio. Alumio allows us to help our customers grow, and allows us to focus on the really important parts of integrations
