A flexible Alumio alternative built around your unique business processes
Build and manage integrations around your business rules, not the other way around.
Fluxygen is a flexible cloud-based iPaaS developed by a Dutch company with a European mindset: pragmatic, personal and committed to responsible data and application integration according to European rules and regulations.
Looking for an Alumio alternative? Fluxygen is a European low-code iPaaS that connects applications, data and workflows around your unique business processes, while reducing dependency on specialist developers and predefined application connectors. 
Alumio and Fluxygen both provide a visual platform to build and manage business-critical integrations. The difference is primarily in the approach. 
Fluxygen gives domain specialists and integration teams one integration layer to build, manage and change integrations themselves, using reusable components, APIs and open protocols instead of making your possibilities dependent on a fixed application connector catalogue. 
- Common challenges
The challenge: your integrations need to remain manageable when your business changes
Connecting two applications is rarely the biggest challenge. Keeping dozens of integrations understandable, transferable and adaptable over time is.
Dependency on specialist developers
Integrations built by different developers across different technologies and programming languages can become difficult to understand and maintain without the original developer.
Business logic buried in integrations
Mappings, validations, transformations and exceptions often contain business knowledge that becomes difficult to transfer when it is hidden in custom code or scattered documentation.
Changing applications and APIs
Applications are replaced, APIs change and new systems are introduced. Your integration architecture needs to adapt without rebuilding complete business processes.
Connector dependency
Prebuilt connectors can accelerate standard integrations, but your integration strategy should not stop when the required application or functionality is missing from a connector catalogue.
Legacy and specialised applications
Real IT landscapes combine SaaS applications with ERP, WMS, PIM, databases, legacy software and industry-specific applications.
Different technologies and formats
Modern APIs coexist with databases, files, EDI and formats such as XML, JSON and CSV.
External business networks
Customers, suppliers, logistics providers and other partners increasingly require automated B2B data exchange, including EDI, AS2 and European standards and networks such as Peppol.
And more…
The real integration challenge is therefore not simply connecting applications. It is maintaining control over the business logic between them.
The solution: one integration layer to build and manage your integrations
Fluxygen provides one central low-code integration layer between your applications, data and business processes. Instead of integration knowledge being scattered across individual connections, developers and applications, integrations are built and managed in a consistent environment. Our approach can be summarised as CASVO.

Where Alumio is particularly strong
Alumio has built a strong proposition around prebuilt application connectors, governance, role-based access, SSO, environment management and multi-entity management through Alumio Spaces.
If these are central requirements in your selection, they deserve serious consideration.
Where Fluxygen takes a different approach
Fluxygen starts with your business process and business rules.
The objective is not to make your landscape fit a catalogue of integrations, but to provide an integration layer in which domain specialists and integration teams can build, understand and manage connections across different technologies
- What you can integrate
Don't let a connector catalogue define what you can integrate
Prebuilt connectors are useful. But a connector is only one way of reaching an application.
Fluxygen deliberately focuses on reusable components, APIs and open protocols. This makes it possible to integrate standard business software as well as specialised and legacy applications without waiting for every application to appear in a connector marketplace.
And when an API changes, the integration should be adaptable without making you dependent on a vendor releasing a new connector version first.
The question is not:
“Which platform has the longest feature list?”
The better question is:
“Which approach helps us build and maintain our unique business processes?”
What’s in it for you?
The strongest iPaaS is not necessarily the platform with the most features. It is the platform that makes your integration landscape easier to operate and your business easier to change. With Fluxygen you can:
- reduce dependency on individual developers and programming skills;
- make integration knowledge easier to transfer within your organisation;
- reduce repetitive manual processing;
- reduce data-entry and processing errors;
- manage integrations consistently from one platform;
- reuse components and proven integration logic;
- connect both standard and specialised applications;
- adapt integrations when APIs or applications change;
- keep unique business rules under your own control;
- scale business processes without rebuilding your integration landscape.
Business case
The integration is more than the connector
Imagine an order process involving an eCommerce platform, ERP, WMS and an external logistics provider. Connecting these four systems is only the beginning. The actual integration needs to understand what should happen.
Now imagine replacing the WMS
The business process remains largely the same. The integration layer can adapt to the new endpoint without forcing you to redesign the complete process. That’s the Fluxygen value of managing the integration separately from the applications it connects.
What's next?
Choose an iPaaS for the integrations you will need tomorrow
Today’s requirement might be ERP-to-eCommerce integration.
Tomorrow you may replace an application, connect a new logistics partner, introduce Peppol, add an AI agent or LLM, or automate an entirely new business process. That is why an iPaaS decision should not only be based on today’s connector list. It should also answer:
- Who can understand and manage our integrations?
- How dependent are we on specialist developers?
- Can we adapt when an API changes?
- Can the platform support our unique business logic?
- Can we connect applications that are not part of a standard catalogue?
- Will our integrations remain transferable and manageable as our landscape grows?
- Why Fluxygen
Why consider Fluxygen as your Alumio alternative?
Built around your unique business processes
Your differentiating processes should not have to change because an integration platform expects them to work differently.
Less dependency on specialist developers
Fluxygen’s low-code approach enables people with the right domain and integration knowledge to build and manage integrations without making traditional software development the starting point for every change.
One manageable integration layer
Bring integration logic into one consistent environment instead of scattering it across applications, custom code, individual developers and documentation.
Connect beyond the connector catalogue
Use APIs, open protocols and reusable components to connect both common business applications and specialised systems.

Low-code without pretending everything is simple
Some integrations are genuinely complex. Fluxygen combines visual low-code integration with the flexibility to handle advanced business rules, transformations and technical requirements when needed.
Competitive pricing from € 495 / month
Fluxygen starts from €495 per month. Alumio Connect Lite starts from €499 per month, so the difference in entry price is not a meaningful reason to choose one platform over the other. Compare the platforms on your integrations, business logic, manageability and long-term dependency instead.
European focus. Dutch roots.
Fluxygen is a Dutch company based near Brainport Eindhoven, with a European mindset and a pragmatic, hands-on approach.
Personal by default
You work with people who understand integration and want to understand how your business actually works.
Fluxygen adapts
Technology should adapt to your business logic, not the other way around.
- What to choose
Should you choose Alumio or Fluxygen?
There is no meaningful answer without looking at your integration landscape.
Alumio deserves particular consideration when an extensive prebuilt connector ecosystem, documented enterprise governance, RBAC/SSO or multi-entity management through Spaces are central selection criteria.
Fluxygen deserves particular consideration when unique business processes, maintainability, less dependency on specialist developers, flexible API/protocol connectivity and personal cooperation with your iPaaS provider matter.
Our recommendation for evaluating both platforms is simple: Don’t start with 100 generic feature checkboxes. Give both platforms your three most difficult integrations. That will tell you much more about the real fit.
