PIM leader unveils new features and roadmap for continued innovation
Boston, MA | November 2, 2021 // Product experience management (PXM) leader Akeneo today announced some major new product features and benefits as part of their Autumn Product Release Cycle. Akeneo released over 70 product enhancements this year alone, adding powerful new capabilities to its industry-leading suite of SaaS solutions. The new release includes substantial upgrades to Akeneo PXM Studio, underscoring Akeneo’s commitment to continuous cloud-first and API-centric innovation as part of a well-connected product and partner ecosystem.
The new release brings a series of key updates to Akeneo’s flagship Akeneo PIM product, including:
The new release also brings important updates to Akeneo Shared Catalogs and Akeneo Onboarder, enhancing product data collaboration and synchronization between brands/manufacturers and their retailers, distributors, and suppliers. Users can access all attributes and metrics for shared products, with improved sorting, filtering, and advanced search capabilities, as well as support for additional languages to facilitate global collaboration.
Building on the industry’s most robust and comprehensive partner ecosystem, Akeneo’s Marketplace also gets a major upgrade: now fully embedded in Akeneo PIM, customers can quickly access powerful functionality to easily discover connectors and third-party extensions –– all without leaving the Akeneo PIM dashboard. The new Embedded Marketplace makes it easier than ever for all levels of users to tap into the latest and greatest innovations from Akeneo partners to unleash their PIM productivity without having to toggle between different interfaces.
Users, prospects and partners can also find out more about Akeneo’s path forward with its new public-facing product roadmap, “What’s Next with Akeneo PIM.” The highly anticipated page featured in Akeneo’s Help Center highlights new and upcoming product features, and gives a taste of innovations currently in development.
