Do you offer a large product range through multiple sales channels? And do you still need to keep your product information manually up to date? Save a lot of time and effort with the PIM system Akeneo, connected with Magento. This allows you to manage product information efficiently and easily from one central point and automatically update it with the push of a button in your webshops, apps, and all your other channels and systems. Of course, Epartment is happy to assist you with this. [intro_end] Tip: request an account in our Akeneo demo environment!

Managing product content

Within manufacturing companies and wholesalers, product information often roams in various folders, systems, online channels, and apps. This makes the maintenance and use of 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 You also run the risk of outdated or incorrect information on your channels.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, also known as PIM system. We have good experiences with the PIM system Akeneo.

PIM system Akeneo

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

Magento connection with Akeneo

The connection between Magento and the PIM system Akeneo ensures that product information in Akeneo is automatically updated in your Magento webshop(s). We are happy to assist you with advice about Akeneo and the connection. We also take care of the installation, configuration, maintenance, and support of the Magento-Akeneo connection

  • Enter product information only once

  • Manage content efficiently and structured in one place

  • Quickly and easily retrieve information

  • Automatically update content in Magento and other channels/systems via a workflow

  • Expert implementation and support by Epartment
