Managing product content

Within manufacturing companies and wholesalers, product information often wanders around in all kinds of folders, systems, online channels, and apps. This makes maintaining and using product content cumbersome, time-consuming, and illogical. You also run the risk of outdated or incorrect information on your channels. You can prevent this with a Product Information Management system, or PIM system. We have good experiences with the Akeneo PIM system.

Akeneo PIM system

Akeneo (www.akeneo.com) is an open-source PIM system that allows complex product data to be centrally managed and distributed efficiently to the utilized communication channels, including Magento webshops. With Akeneo, manufacturers and wholesalers can therefore provide their customers with complete and consistent product information. Think, for example, of product descriptions, colors, dimensions, images, instruction videos, and manuals. Akeneo is known for its user-friendliness, flexibility, and extensive capabilities, such as creating relationships between products.

Magento integration with Akeneo
