Data integration & data hub solutions

Clarity, control, and growth through better data management.

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, data is one of the most valuable assets an organisation owns. Yet for many companies, it has also become one of the most difficult resources to manage effectively. Information is scattered across multiple departments, stored in different software platforms, cloud services, and legacy systems.

The growing challenge of managing data

At Factor Blue, we see this challenge every day. Businesses whether they are e-commerce entrepreneurs, wholesale distributors, manufacturers, service providers, or other types of organisations  struggle with data governance: ensuring accuracy, compliance, and proper management of their information.

At the same time, they face increasing demands for data security, regulatory compliance, and organisational agility. Without a clear understanding of your data structure and how it moves through your organisation, it becomes almost impossible to make fast, confident, data-driven decisions.

This is where we come in. Our role is to untangle the complexity, build a blueprint of your data architecture, and transform your scattered, siloed systems into a centralised, streamlined, and future-proof data ecosystem.

Alumio: the power behind data integration

We believe that the best data integration strategies are built on technology that is flexible, secure, and future-proof. That’s why we are proud to be an Alumio Premium Partner. Alumio is one of the leading iPaaS platforms (Integration Platform as a Service) in the market, designed to simplify and centralise even the most complex data ecosystems.

 

What is iPaaS and why does it matter?

An iPaaS platform acts as a central hub for all your integrations. Instead of creating dozens of one-off, point-to-point connections between your systems a messy “spaghetti” of integrations that is difficult to maintain iPaaS provides a single, controlled environment where all your data flows are managed.

 

With Alumio as your integration backbone:

  • Each system connects once to the platform, drastically reducing complexity.

  • Data is transformed, validated, and routed to the right destination in real time.

  • Errors can be detected and resolved before they impact your operations.

  • New systems can be integrated quickly without overhauling your entire setup.


Why we use Alumio for our clients

For our clients, Alumio means faster project delivery, greater reliability, and easier scalability. It enables us to break down data silos, standardise information from multiple sources, and give you full visibility over your integration landscape.

 

Whether you’re connecting ERP systems like Exact Online, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP Business One, or AFAS, integrating with PIM platforms like Akeneo, managing EDI connections, or syncing with warehouse and e-commerce systems, Alumio makes it possible to manage everything from one place securely and efficiently.

Let’s build your centralized data hub together

No matter how many systems you use, how complex your processes are, or how scattered your data might be today we can help you centralise, streamline, and secure it all.

Frequently asked questions

A data hub is a central platform where all your data connections are managed. In point-to-point integrations, each system connects directly to others, creating a “spaghetti” of connections that is hard to maintain. A data hub, like Alumio, allows each system to connect once to a central point, making integrations cleaner, more reliable, and easier to scale.

Data integration is the process of connecting different systems, applications, and databases so that they can share and exchange information. Instead of each system working in isolation, data integration ensures that your entire organisation works with consistent, up-to-date data across all platforms.

Absolutely. While we work with many e-commerce businesses, our data integration solutions are just as valuable for wholesalers, manufacturers, service providers, healthcare organisations, and any business that relies on accurate, consistent, and centralised data.

We start by creating a blueprint of your data architecture. This shows exactly where your data lives, how it moves, and where there are gaps or risks. We then design processes to ensure data is accurate, consistent, compliant, and secure — helping you meet both internal quality standards and external regulatory requirements.

Data silos are isolated datasets that are not easily accessible or shared with other systems or departments. They lead to duplicated work, inconsistent information, and missed opportunities for insights. We specialise in breaking down these silos so your entire organisation can work from a single, unified source of truth.

Yes. We have experience with a wide range of systems including Exact Online, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP Business One, AFAS, Akeneo PIM, EDI connections, and many warehouse and invoicing systems. If your system has an API or standard data interface, we can integrate it.

It depends on the complexity and number of systems involved. Some smaller projects can be completed in weeks, while larger enterprise-wide integrations may take several months. We always start with a blueprinting phase so you have a clear timeline before we begin implementation.

While we can deliver one-off projects, we strongly recommend ongoing partnership. Data is never static systems update, business processes change, and new integrations are needed over time. We offer continuous monitoring, maintenance, and optimisation to keep your data ecosystem healthy.

Getting started is easy. Simply contact us for a free consultation, where we’ll discuss your current challenges, review your systems, and propose a tailored plan to centralise and improve your data flows. From there, we’ll guide you step-by-step toward a fully integrated and future-proof data architecture.

Our process to a successful data integration project

Discovery & business understanding

We begin by learning about your organisation, your industry, and your objectives. This is where we listen, ask questions, and map out the challenges you’re facing with your current data environment.

Blueprinting

Next, we create a complete blueprint of your existing data landscape. This visual map shows where your data lives, how it flows between systems, and where gaps, redundancies, or risks exist. This blueprint becomes the foundation for the integration strategy.

Solution design

Based on the blueprint, we design the optimal integration architecture. We decide how systems will connect, define transformation rules for the data, and choose the right tools most often the Alumio iPaaS platform to deliver a secure, scalable, and efficient solution.

Implementation & system connection

Once the plan is approved, we begin implementing the integrations. Our specialists connect your systems, configure data flows, and ensure the exchange is seamless, secure, and compliant. Throughout this stage, we work in close collaboration with your team to minimise disruption.

Launch the project

Before going live, we rigorously test every data flow to ensure accuracy, speed, and reliability. We validate results against your business rules and adjust any mappings or processes to make sure the integration works flawlessly from day one.

Continue growing

After the launch, you can undoubtedly count on us for maintenance and further development. In a word, we will deliver support when it is needed.
