The sun’s out, the shades are on, and at Akeneo, we’re bringing the heat with our Summer Release 2025! Just like your favorite summer getaway, this release is all about relaxing the workload, lightening the lift, and giving your teams the freedom to move faster and smarter.
From AI-powered data modeling to next-level catalog management and visibility enhancements, this release is designed to help you ditch the data bottlenecks and cruise into smoother, more scalable product experiences. Whether you're launching a new channel, expanding your global footprint, or just trying to make your daily tasks a little less manual, these updates are here to make your summer (and beyond) a whole lot brighter.
Let’s take a look at five new capabilities now available within Akeneo Product Cloud.
For many organizations (especially those just getting started with PIM), data modeling can be a painstaking, months-long process. But now, thanks to a combination of Akeneo’s new data modeling expertise and AI, Akeneo’s Data Architect Agent (DAA) can generate accurate and flexible data models in a matter of days, rather than months.
DAA accelerates time-to-value by empowering teams to explore and adapt their data structures early in the onboarding process, reducing cost and minimizing the risks of expensive rework later on. With intuitive suggestions, dynamic customization, and AI-assisted iteration, teams can confidently model once and adapt forever with DAA.
Even better, we’re introducing Flexible Attribute Expansion alongside it, which lets you adjust product attributes on the fly (like configuring attribute properties to localize content for new markets or meeting new regulations) without needing to rebuild your entire data model. It’s all about staying nimble while keeping your data clean and consistent. Together, these tools future-proof your investment and keep your product data nimble in an ever-changing digital environment.
Our agentic AI is purpose-built to solve the single biggest pain point in product data management; modeling. DAA lets teams design flexible models once and adapt forever, turning product data from a slow-moving liability into a fast, flexible, strategic AI-powered asset.
If you're investing in Google Shopping, you already know that great product visibility can make or break your performance. But keeping product listings optimized, especially at scale, can feel like chasing the sun. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the Google Shopping Optimization Dashboard, available now in PX Insights.
This dashboard is your command center for improving product discoverability on one of the most important commerce platforms in the world. Instead of digging through spreadsheets, hunting for errors, or guessing why a product isn’t showing up in search, you get a single, intuitive view of everything that needs your attention.
With the dashboard, you can:
To take optimization even further, PX Insights now also includes AI Discovery Optimization, a powerful new feature that helps you understand how your products are (or aren’t) being discovered across multiple AI-powered search engines and marketplaces.
AI Discovery Optimization allows your team to:
Together, these tools help bridge the gap between product data managers and digital marketing teams by making it easy to collaborate on listings that need attention. With shared visibility into what’s working and what’s not, your teams can prioritize fixes that directly improve campaign performance, organic discoverability, and ROI.

If your product catalog feels like a puzzle with too many oddly shaped pieces (think bundles, variations, configurable components), you’re not alone. For industries like fashion, home goods, electronics, and luxury, managing complex product relationships can quickly become overwhelming. Workarounds get clunky, modeling gets inconsistent, and suddenly your PIM starts feeling more like a patchwork quilt than a streamlined system.
That’s exactly why we built Composable Products.
This powerful new feature gives you the freedom to link products and components together in smarter, more flexible ways without needing to reinvent your data model or jump through hoops. Whether you're assembling outfits with swappable pieces, grouping electronics with accessories, or managing configurable furniture sets, Composable Products makes it easy to reflect real-world product relationships in your catalog.
You can now:
The result? A much cleaner, easier-to-manage catalog structure. No more fiddling with complicated workarounds or re-architecting your model every time your assortment evolves. Just fast, intuitive catalog modeling that mirrors how your business actually works.

If you’ve ever spent hours sifting through product spec sheets, zooming in on packaging images, or copying and pasting details from PDF catalogs, you know how tedious and time-consuming enrichment work can be. And when you’re managing hundreds, or even thousands of products, it becomes nearly impossible to keep up manually.
That’s why we’re excited to roll out AI-powered content extraction, a new capability designed to take the grunt work out of enrichment and help your team focus on what really matters: creating standout product experiences.
With this feature, Akeneo can automatically analyze your product assets like images, PDF spec sheets, and instruction manuals to extract key product information, such as colors, materials, dimensions, certifications, descriptive features, and more.
This information is then used to populate product attributes or even generate product descriptions, all directly within the Akeneo Product Cloud.
Here’s what it means for your team:
Whether you’re managing a fast-growing catalog or preparing to launch in new markets, this feature means no more copy/paste fatigue, no more overlooked details, and no more delays in getting your products to market.

When your organization spans multiple brands, departments, markets, or regions, managing who gets access to what product information can quickly become a logistical headache. Without proper controls, it’s easy for the wrong person to update the wrong product, or for sensitive information to be seen by teams who shouldn’t have access to it. That’s not just inefficient; it’s risky.
Enter channel-level access control, a powerful new feature designed to bring clarity, security, and precision to how teams interact with product data inside Akeneo. With this new capability, PIM administrators can now set detailed permissions that control access to product data based on specific sales channels, which means:
From a governance standpoint, this also means improved compliance and control. You’ll be able to confidently restrict access to high-stakes channels, meet internal data policies, and reduce the risk of errors or data breaches, all while keeping operations efficient.

We know that today’s shoppers expect more. They want clear, consistent, compelling product information no matter where they shop. And they want it now.
That’s why every update in this release is designed to help your teams deliver faster, adapt faster, and collaborate better. Whether you're building a data model in days instead of months, extracting rich details from your assets, or fine-tuning your listings for better Google visibility, Akeneo Product Cloud gives you the tools to move with confidence and clarity.
In short: you’re not just managing product data anymore. You’re creating product experiences that build trust, drive conversions, and set your brand apart.
So if you're ready to take your product experience strategy to the next level, now’s the time. Dive into the Summer Release, explore what’s new, and see how Akeneo can help you make this your most productive and impactful season yet.
