As product operations scale, so does complexity: more suppliers, more products, more markets, more channels, more rules, and, increasingly, more AI-powered experiences that consume and act on product data.
For enterprise teams, scaling is no longer just about handling more volume. It’s about keeping product data trusted, governed, connected, and ready to act on as operations become more distributed and automated.
The Autumn 2026 Release strengthens the enterprise foundation behind Akeneo Product Cloud, helping organizations and accelerate with AI without giving up control.
Scale product data operations and accelerate with AI from the first source file to the final storefront. By combining agentic workflows, smart product structuring, and deep digital asset connectivity, your team can automate enrichment and publishing at a scale no manual process can match.
Manage every touchpoint across your ecosystem—from external suppliers to internal teams—without sacrificing oversight. Secure supplier access, governed collaboration, and automated identity governance empower your organization to onboard partners and scale internal users while keeping your system of record fully secure.
Replace spreadsheets, manual rules, and fragmented processes with governed product structures that scale. Define what “ready” means for each business outcome and automate complex product compatibility relationships across your catalog — so increasing catalog complexity doesn’t require increasing manual effort.
Move product data from source to storefront faster with AI-powered automation, agentic workflows and connected activation — without adding manual coordination as you scale.
