Akeneo’s Spring 2024 Release blooms with AI, analytics and workflows for Akeneo Product Cloud

Following the Unifai acquisition in September 2023, the Unifai platform is now part of Akeneo Supplier Data Manager, giving Akeneo customers the ability to leverage AI to automate data integration, mapping, classification, attribute enrichment, and error correction. Thanks to the power of AI, retailers and distributors using Supplier Data Manager are increasing their productivity by 50% and cutting time to market in half.

Akeneo Supplier Data Manager is a standalone product

Effortlessly generate and translate product content by using the power of AI and tailored prompts derived from your own attributes in Akeneo PIM. Quickly generate content and translate it within the product edit form for individual products.

Serenity Enterprise Edition customers can further scale enrichment across the entire product catalog by leveraging automation and bulk updates to apply prompts to entire product ranges, categories, collections, or brands thanks to the Rules Engine. 

New customizable workflows help guide business contributors through the enrichment process to ensure greater data consistency and enhance collaboration. Akeneo PIM admins can quickly and efficiently organize teams thanks to sequential workflows and task assignments that guide users through their required enrichment steps and approval stages, while content contributors can view a list of assigned tasks so they can more efficiently manage and prioritize their work. In addition, a new workflows dashboard monitors progress so you can identify opportunities to refine processes and avoid bottlenecks. 

Family Templates provide an easy and efficient way to kickstart the catalog modeling step in Akeneo PIM by providing pre-defined families for our most popular customer industries. Choose from 40+ templates that include a selection of attributes and properties that are most relevant for the types of products typically offered by that industry. 

Leveraging industry-best practices and the expertise of the Akeneo team, Family Templates are designed to help save time during the initial catalog modeling process and can also be used to adapt existing catalog structures as new product lines are introduced or business needs evolve. 

The new Akeneo App for Salesforce places your Akeneo-powered product records in the center of your Salesforce Clouds. Enable teams with access to up-to-date product information within the Salesforce core platform that they already work in on a daily basis to ensure more consistent customer experiences across sales, service, and e-commerce touchpoints. 

Share Assets, the newest feature in the Akeneo PIM Asset Manager, gives you the ability to share product assets via a link that can be included with product exports via Tailored Exports or Product API. Reduce time-consuming manual processes to share assets and speed time to market by delivering a complete package of product information and product assets to the teams who need them.
