The new release brings a series of key updates to Akeneo’s flagship Akeneo PIM product, including:
-
Table Attributes which give users a simple but compelling way to present complex product information in tables — an ideal approach for use-cases such as product dimensions, packaging information, nutritional information, and product comparisons.
-
Tailored Exports lets users easily customize product data export structure, content, and sources, with customization for different data sharing needs. Thanks to Tailored Exports, manipulating product data in spreadsheets will become a thing of the past, making exporting data and sharing product information easier than ever before.
-
Enhanced user interface, because continuously optimizing the user experience is what makes Akeneo the most powerful product collaboration tool in the market. Users will experience an updated proposal screen, faster category management, enhanced settings navigation, an intuitive activity dashboard, and more.
The new release also brings important updates to Akeneo Shared Catalogs and Akeneo Onboarder, enhancing product data collaboration and synchronization between brands/manufacturers and their retailers, distributors, and suppliers. Users can access all attributes and metrics for shared products, with improved sorting, filtering, and advanced search capabilities, as well as support for additional languages to facilitate global collaboration.
Building on the industry’s most robust and comprehensive partner ecosystem, Akeneo’s Marketplace also gets a major upgrade: now fully embedded in Akeneo PIM, customers can quickly access powerful functionality to easily discover connectors and third-party extensions –– all without leaving the Akeneo PIM dashboard. The new Embedded Marketplace makes it easier than ever for all levels of users to tap into the latest and greatest innovations from Akeneo partners to unleash their PIM productivity without having to toggle between different interfaces.
