Akeneo PIM
Introduction & Implementation for SMEs
Akeneo organizes product data, variants, technical features, and media. We implement Akeneo in such a way that your team can manage data faster, release it cleanly, and efficiently distribute it to your shop, customer portal, and other systems.
SSL & GDPR-compliant
100% without obligation
When product data is scattered, friction arises everywhere: in sales, marketing, product maintenance, and later for the customer. Common symptoms include missing features, inconsistent naming, variant chaos, and content that is never complete in shop and portal. A PIM like Akeneo centralizes this work, makes quality measurable, and brings structure to processes.
How this changes daily operations
Product setup and maintenance become significantly faster.
Changes are made once and distributed across all channels.
Inquiries decrease because the data is more consistent
New product ranges and suppliers can be integrated in a controlled manner
Akeneo Implementation in Detail
We configure Akeneo to become the central source for product information, including variant logic, mandatory fields, media, and sharable content. This ensures that shops, portals, catalogs, and marketplaces are no longer maintained with Excel but come from a clean system.
Data model and catalog structure
Together, we define which data truly needs to be managed, how variants and technical features are structured, and how your catalog logic is represented. The goal is a structure that remains stable even as you grow.
Enrichment workflows for teams
We develop workflows for product maintenance, translations, standards, and mandatory fields. This turns product data maintenance into a clear process instead of an ongoing project.
Governance, roles and approvals
Akeneo supports roles, validation, completeness, and traceability. We set up processes to ensure clear responsibilities and streamlined approvals.
Integration and Output
Akeneo is designed to avoid working in isolation. We connect Akeneo via API or integrations with Shopware, ERP, DAM, or marketplaces so that data automatically reaches where it is needed.
In B2B, data quality determines speed. Missing attributes, unclear variations, or incorrect media lead to inquiries, incorrect orders, and additional effort for the team.
With Akeneo, you structure product data so that procurement, sales, and customers quickly find the right information, and data is reliably distributed across shop, portal, and other channels.
Master technical data and variations
Structure attributes, units, standards, variants, and comparability so that customers and purchasing can quickly find the right information.
Multilingualism and international catalogs
Maintain languages, country requirements, and channel-specific content efficiently, avoiding duplicate work for teams.
Ensure accurate transfer of supplier data
Suppliers often provide incomplete data. We assist with onboarding, rules, and processes to improve quality and reduce chaos.
Reliably update the Shopware and customer portal
Categories, product pages, and media are managed through Akeneo. This reduces maintenance efforts and ensures consistent data on the frontend.
Akeneo Integration into Your IT Landscape
Akeneo delivers real value when data doesn't just stay in the PIM but flows cleanly into all target systems. We set up mappings, export logics, and interfaces to ensure data arrives reliably and clearly, even with many variants, languages, and channels.
Akeneo as a central product data hub
Regular quality checks, oversight of completeness and validation rules
Monitoring for exports and data flows to ensure feeds and channels run reliably.
Adapt roles, permissions, and workflows as processes change.
Assistance with new channels and integrations, such as Shopware, ERP, DAM, or marketplaces.
In 30 minutes, we'll ensure Akeneo runs smoothly and reliably.
Let's get started—together.
How we implement Akeneo in the company
Clear scope, clean data, secure integrations.
1
Analysis and Vision
We clarify systems, data sources, data quality, and target channels. Then it becomes clear which product data will be managed centrally in Akeneo and which processes you can map with it.
Common questions:
Which data is essential for sales and customers? How do we handle variations, units, and standards? Which teams need to approve?
2
Setup and Data Model
We develop structure, attributes, families, rules, and workflows. This includes roles, permissions, and quality checks to ensure that everyday maintenance works effectively.
Goal:
A stable Akeneo setup that your team can use immediately.
3
Integration and Go Live
We implement exports and interfaces, test data flows, and conduct a controlled go-live. Akeneo provides an API and app integration, which we seamlessly integrate into your system.
Optional:
Monitoring, development, and support for your team.
We will guide you through the process.
Avoiding PIM Chaos
and Preparing Data
Data cleansing before migration to ensure Akeneo starts smoothly
Required fields per channel to ensure the shop and portal remain complete
Completeness and validation to identify errors early
Roles and approvals ensure teams clearly understand who completes what.
In 30 minutes, we will show you the path forward for your company.
