Top Israeli Machine Learning Company

BOSTON, Jan. 18, 2018 -- French technology company Akeneo, a leading provider of open source product information management (PIM) solutions, today announced that it has acquired Sigmento, an Israel-based technology company specializing in product data automation.

The acquisition bolsters Akeneo’s market-leading position among PIM providers and reinforces the company’s mission to help retailers turn product information into powerful brand assets. The combined entity, now equipped with state-of-the-art machine learning technologies, will allow large enterprise companies to deploy data intelligence and deliver integrated product attribute information across multiple channels far more quickly and at scale.
Sigmento, founded in 2015 by Izzy Cohen, Yoav Maor and Yonatan Maor, has emerged as a prominent provider of automated product listing solutions. The startup’s machine learning algorithms allow ecommerce merchants to enrich structured product information with just a few clicks while improving SEO, conversions, and competitive advantages.

The next frontier of innovation in ecommerce technology is happening at the intersection of data intelligence and automation, which is Sigmento's core strength. Having Yoav and his talented team join our #PIMforAll movement and offer best-in-class AI driven ecommerce solutions will significantly differentiate Akeneo and allow us to enable customers to further deliver compelling product experiences.
