Our take
Based in France and Boston, Akeneo is a provider of product experience management (PXM) and product information management (PIM) solutions. The platform enables businesses with products to create growth opportunities by delivering product experience.
The company is trusted by leading global brands, including PUMA, Canon USA and Giant Tiger. The appeal of Akeneo’s services is its enablement of retailers to activate product experiences across all communication channels, rather than having to manage catalogs using spreadsheets or an out-dated ERP.
In 2022, Akeneo raised further funding, which was invested into accelerating the product development roadmap and expansion of its strategic partnerships. Continued investment and support brings Akeneo ever closer to its goal of best serving the growing needs of modern omnichannel brands and retailers.
