London, 1 April 2020 - UK homeware ecommerce brand Cox & Cox has announced it has selected Akeneo, a global provider of Product Experience Management (PXM) solutions, to help ensure a high standard of product data accuracy and customer experience as it implements growth plans.
"We're planning to grow by 20% annually, so we needed a mature solution that would enable us to scale products with consistent imagery and product copy across all channels"
Focusing on its digital transformation goals of reaching a wide UK customer base across omnichannel, Cox & Cox is planning to quickly add products to its existing product base, improve existing distribution channels, print catalogues, and speed up supplier onboarding.
"We we're tired of managing product information with spreadsheets, and the Akeneo team was quick to understand our brief and needs. Were specifically impressed with the Akeneo ecosystem. For example, the Magento buy-in allows us to improve efficiencies whilst adding more stock-keeping units."
"We're thrilled to be chosen as a partner by Cox & Cox, and are committed to delivering on our promise of helping the company reach its transformation goals."
A period of rapid global expansion for Akeneo, following the company’s completion of a $46M strategic fundraising round in September 2019, and its accreditation of being named a “Leader” in the 2019 IDC MarketScape on PIM.
Cox & Cox was launched in 2001 after founder, Fiona Cox, found herself inundated with enquiries for a wall decoration she had made as a stylist and presenter on the BBCs home makeover series Home Front. From that arose a desire to create a hand selected collection of homeware products that couldn’t be found in traditional catalogues, with customers encouraged to find their own style, shunning trends and fads in favour of timeless pieces based on impeccable taste. 17 years on, we are still scrupulously true to our roots, scouring the globe for unique and eclectic products that are as easy to live with as they are beautiful, each piece carefully selected for individually-minded customers who want to create a home with style and flair.
Based in Frome, Somerset, we remain a compact company, where all of our products are hand selected and styled by us with you in mind. From inspirational, beautifully designed furniture and lighting to attractive storage and decorative accessories, our ever-expanding online range combines brand new products and perennial favourites for a collection with the power to transform any space.
