PIM Integrations for Simplified Product Information Management Across Channels

PIM Integrations

Akeneo PIM is the leading open source product information management solution available on the market. Our open source approach, combined with a vibrant ecosystem of partners, makes it easy to integrate our solution with a range of other applications like ERPs, eCommerce storefronts, print catalogs, and online marketplaces using off-the-shelf or custom connectors.

Our extensive ecosystem of integrations allows our customers to focus on their eCommerce business, rather than dealing with complicated technology.

Here is a list of our most popular PIM Integrations with third-parties.

Google Shopping

This extension exports your Akeneo data into Google Shopping and allows you to map your shopping attributes to match those used in Google Shopping so your system continues to run without interruption. If the export process finds an unmapped attribute, it flags the entry for review but continues processing the rest of the files to minimize the impact on your eCommerce operations.

Quickly and easily present your products on Google Shopping channels.

Icecat Connector

Icecat is the world’s largest open catalog with more than four million High Tech products and more than 15,000 brands. You can import the Icecat data to enrich your existing product data, including attributes such as marketing text, images, multimedia assets, PDFs, and energy labels in up to 47 different languages. Simply map the Akeneo attributes to the Icecat taxonomy and you’re ready to go.

Use the Icecat connector to further enrich product information.

Plus, you can use PIM2CATALOG for more than just print catalogs—think product data sheets, price lists and advertisements. By eliminating the painful and time-consuming process of manually creating design assets, PIM2CATALOG saves you time and money while helping your product information reach the market quickly.

PIM to Translation.com aka “Akeneo2GlobalLink”

Akeneo2GlobalLink is the streamlined translation extension created in conjunction with our solution partner StrikeTru that allows you to connect Akeneo PIM directly to Translations.com. In one streamlined process, you can send product information from Akeneo PIM to translations.com for translation. You can even request information to be translated into multiple languages in a single workflow process. These localizations are then automatically uploaded into the PIM system once completed. This extension ensures that you can continue to scale your business and localize product information for many global destinations.

Use Translations.com to translate product information and have it directly update Akeneo PIM.

PIM to Magento 1 aka “PIMGento 1”

PIMGento 1 is a Magento plugin that reads data from your Akeneo system and sends the data directly to Magento data files. It uses CSV file formats to move data, including categories, families, attributes, options, products, product positions by category and images, and inventory balances.

Easily integrate your Akeneo PIM data with your Magento data files using the PIMGento1 plugin.

You can set PIMGento 1 to run automatically or manually without any deep customization or integration requirements that might slow you down. It runs up to 10 times faster than Magento’s native import/export routines.

Tessa is a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. With the Tessa DAM you can streamline your media processing with tailored workflows and deep collaboration capabilities.

A DAM is the PIM for processing your media and is fully complementary with the Akeneo Enterprise Edition feature: the Product Asset Manager

Textmaster

Unlike some translation tools that either only use machine translation or rely solely on human translators, Textmaster has a network of qualified human translators and a machine learning component to automatically translate the previously approved text. This hybrid system provides human quality with machine speed and efficiency. The Textmaster/Akeneo integration allows for all translation workflows to happen directly within the Akeneo PIM, making it easy for you to expand your business into new locales.

Textmaster utilizes hybrid translation by humans and machines to ensure your translations are accurate.
