ABOUT THE EXPANSION AWARD

The Expansion Award recognizes those who are creating better experiences in their current channels, introducing impactful new channels, and connecting with new audiences, all to drive meaningful business results.

CHALLENGES

Fossil’s reliance on Excel spreadsheets for eCommerce product data presented significant challenges, including limited sharing capabilities and lack of automation. Prior to partnering with Akeneo, Fossil explored various PIM solutions but found them to be too intensive and IT-centric.

SOLUTIONS

With 13 locales and an integrated translation solution, Fossil leverages Akeneo to streamline data management across multiple channels and automate content creation. Shared Catalogs facilitate cost-effective data retrieval, while integrations with PLM, SAP, DAM solutions, and downstream systems ensure data accuracy and consistency.

Fossil’s partnership with Akeneo has yielded tangible results, including the ability to scale operations globally without adding headcount. Custom views in Akeneo have shortened seasonal processes, providing internal teams with a more streamlined and error-free review process. These efficiencies have accelerated Fossil’s growth trajectory and enhanced its competitive edge in the market.
