Leading Enterprises Choose Akeneo for D2C Activation

What is D2C Activation?

D2C refers to an organization selling directly to the consumer (D2C) on their own eCommerce site. This allows businesses to bypass third-party retailers and ultimately give themselves more control over the shopping experience they provide to their customers. This is often a brand’s first direct interaction with their consumers, and opens up an entirely new channel of discovery and research.

The ability to interact and connect directly with your customers unlocks deeper insights into their behaviors and needs, so you can better predict how they’re going to shop in the future. Plus, you have the flexibility you need to test new products, markets, and services because you aren’t as reliant on third-party retailers for revenue.

Multiply that by the hundreds of suppliers you are working with and imagine what a time-consuming pain it is to juggle all of these formats and manually edit files to match your data structure. Akeneo Onboarder is a cloud-based supplier portal where suppliers can provide the exact data you need, in the format you prefer.
