Our team spent three exciting days at booth 1612 at Community Summit North America in Nashville earlier this month. We were delighted by the reception we received and the level of engagement we enjoyed from the folks who stopped by our booth to learn about what we do and why we are unique. Most of the conversations came back to the same theme: what Dynamics EDI integration looks like when it is done right.
If you have any of these questions and like our answer, please call or go to our website and book a meeting. We’d be delighted to share more about what we do and what makes us unique.
What everyone asked us
1.“How fast can we go live, and do you offer pre-built templates for standard workflows?”
Usually 2 to 4 weeks, and it only takes that long because of the cross coordination with partner organizations (our part only takes a day or two). We have a huge library of templates, but we also offer in-house development resources to quickly address any customization.

2. “Is your platform built on pre-built, resilient endpoints or a fully managed integration framework?”
The answer is both. With Alluvia, you get the speed and robust performance of a hardened, pre-built connector, backed by the stability and white-glove oversight of a fully managed platform. Your implementations stay on schedule, your clients’ connections survive ERP upgrades seamlessly, and your team spends zero time firefighting broken endpoints.
3. “We run more than one ERP and they don’t talk to each other. Is this something you can help with?”
Yes, absolutely. That is precisely what the Alluvia platform was built to solve. Multi-ERP environments, whether from acquisitions, regional rollouts, subsidiary models, or legacy systems operating alongside next-gen cloud platforms, are one of the biggest drivers of operational friction, manual data entry, and delayed financial reporting.

4. “We handle our EDI integration manually, why would I need you?”
We hear that often, especially from growing businesses that started out with lower EDI volume. The challenge is that manual EDI feels ‘free’ on paper, but it’s usually one of the most expensive and risky processes in the company. When you handle EDI manually, your team acts as human copy-paste software. That creates hidden friction points that impact your bottom line every day. With Alluvia, we turn EDI into a fully managed, hands-off background process inside your ERP. Orders flow straight into your system in real time, shipping notices auto-generate upon dispatch, and invoices auto-send without anyone keying a single keystroke. Not only will automating EDI pay for itself by eliminating chargebacks, your team will be freed to pursue other more critical tasks

5. “We currently have an integration partner but they locked us into a long-term contract and then provide lousy service, what should I do?”
We hear this exact story all too often. Many legacy middleware and integration vendors rely on multi-year lock-ins because they know their post-implementation support is poor. Alluvia does not require long-term contracts. If you don’t like what we do, you are free to leave. This makes us focus on delivering the highest levels of service every day. The vast majority of our support calls are handled within one hour and usually on the first call.
6. “Can we add one EDI connection without replacing our client’s whole setup?”
Yes. In fact, this is a smart, strategic way to ‘test drive’ new service providers and give you and your clients real-world experience and data to make the best future decisions. Alluvia is willing and able to provide you this optionality. We have no long-term contracts.
7. “All integration partners are basically the same, why should I choose you?”
For the most part, that is true. But there are subtle differences that make a big difference in the end. Here are three:
Pricing Model: Alluvia’s charges are usage based, and the more you use, the lower the cost per transaction. Also, there is no long-term contract. Alluvia partners who come to us experience a significant cost savings immediately.
Service: most people aren’t focused on service after the sale at the time of the sale. Everyone is focused on total cost. We are built with a service first model. You can take our word for it or ask our customers.
Speed: our solution is built for speed and agility, which gives us speed to market and fast turnaround in issue management.
We thank all of those who engaged with us at the booth and welcome all of you who want to learn more about how Alluvia can serve you and your clients moving forward.
