How integration platforms like Alumio eliminate data silos beyond e-commerce

Written by Maud Koelman | Aug 21, 2025 9:34:51 AM

In e-commerce, speed and service matter. Customers expect quick answers and smooth experiences. But many webshops still work with systems that don’t talk to each other. This creates delays, frustrated teams, and unhappy customers. The good news: integration platforms like Alumio can solve this.

The Problem: Systems that don’t connect

Imagine this: A customer calls customer service about a delayed order. The agent checks the CRM (like for us, HubSpot) but can’t see the shipping details. Those are in the ERP or warehouse system.

What happens?

  • The customer has to wait for an answer

  • The agent needs to ask another team for updates

  • Teams waste time on manual coordination

  • Customers lose trust in the webshop

The solution could be connecting systems with Alumio

An integration platform links tools such as Shopify, Magento, HubSpot, ERP, WMS, or Jira. This way, data flows automatically between systems. Everyone sees the same information.

For customer service:

  • Order and return info available directly in the CRM

  • Faster, proactive support

  • No need for manual updates or copy-paste

For operations and development:

  • Fewer interruptions from other teams

  • Better insights for prioritizing tasks

  • More time for process improvements

For customers:

  • Clear, fast answers

  • More confidence in your webshop

  • A smoother shopping experience

Benefits at a glance

  • Efficiency: less manual work, faster workflows

  • Customer satisfaction: timely, accurate updates

  • Teamwork: all departments work with the same data

  • Data accuracy: no outdated or conflicting information

Not just for e-commerce

Integration platforms are not only for webshops. They can also:

  • Connect CRM with project management tools

  • Link HR systems with payroll

  • Sync inventory with accounting software

Wherever systems are disconnected, integration helps save time and reduce mistakes.

Conclusion

In e-commerce, every second counts. When systems don’t connect, you lose both time and customers. With an integration platform like Alumio, your teams work smarter, and your customers stay happier.
