COLORx is Benjamin Moore's color-matching and tint-formula software. When you pair it with Rundoo, a cashier tints a gallon at the counter, clicks Send to POS, and the tinted product lands in the Rundoo cart with the color, formula, and quantity already populated — no retyping.

In the POS > Vendors tab, open the Benjamin Moore vendor record to find the Integrations section — that's the Rundoo side of the connection. The COLORx-side setup lives on the tint machine itself.

What COLORx does with Rundoo

Direction Trigger What moves
Send to POS Cashier finishes a tint in COLORx and clicks Send to POS Color, base paint, formula, and quantity flow into the active cart in Rundoo as a tinted product ready to ring up
Retrieve from POS Cashier types a tint number in COLORx and clicks Retrieve From POS Rundoo returns the original formula so COLORx can re-dispense an exact match

Setup

Setup happens once per location and has two parts: the COLORx workstation generates a site key, then someone on the Rundoo team registers that key against your location's subdomain. After that, Send to POS and Retrieve From POS just work.

Step 1: Generate the site key on the COLORx workstation

Done on the Windows machine running COLORx. Close COLORx first, then run the Benjamin Moore key generator. Enter your Benjamin Moore Outlet Number under Site Number and click Get Key.

You'll find your Outlet Number in Rundoo under each location's vendor account number — see Step 3 below.

Step 2: Create the .ini and .xml files

Still in the key generator:

  1. Click Create INI and save as rnet_Decor.ini to the desktop.
  2. Click Create XML and save as posDecor.xml to the desktop.
  3. Move both files into C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Benjamin Moore & Co\\ColorTech\\ColoRx\\POS.

Reopen COLORx. It will show a "cannot connect to a server" error on launch — ignore it, that's part of setup. Then click File > Modify Store Options, go to the DecorFusion tab, set the URL to https://api.rundoo.app/colorx, and click OK.

<aside> 💡

If the DecorFusion tab isn't showing up, the .ini and .xml files landed in the wrong folder. Re-check the path in Step 2.

Step 3: Send the key to Rundoo

Email the generated site key and the store address to your Rundoo Account Executive (or [email protected]). We register the key against your location's subdomain and confirm it's live.

The Benjamin Moore Outlet Number you'll need: in the POS > Vendors tab, open the Benjamin Moore vendor record and scroll to the Vendor settings section. Every location has an Account number — that's the Outlet Number.
