Akeneo Product Information Management (PIM)

Akeneo development and maintenance: product information management to support your business

Product information management is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. Codaone implements, develops and maintains Akeneo PIM, as a standalone system or integrated with your Magento ecommerce store, so it stays up to date and scales with your business.

When is Akeneo PIM relevant?

A PIM system is especially needed when:

  • Product information is managed in multiple locations or systems
  • The product range is large or changes frequently
  • Products are sold in multiple languages, countries or channels (e.g. ecommerce store, catalogues, marketplaces)
  • Sales are divided into B2B and B2C channels
  • You want consistent, error-free and enriched product information that speeds up publishing and sales
  • Product information is needed in several teams or systems (marketing, customer service, sales)

What is Akeneo PIM, and why is it worth implementing?

Akeneo PIM (Product Information Management) is a centralised system for managing product information. It is designed specifically for multichannel and constantly updated product data, where data quality, enrichment and rapid publication are key.

Akeneo enables all product information (names, descriptions, prices, images, dimensions, technical data, SEO content, attachments and language versions) to be managed in one place, in a controlled and logically structured manner.

01

Better customer experience

Product information is rich, accurate and up to date, on the right channels and in the right languages. This increases trust and conversion.

02

More efficient internal processes

Manual work and Excel juggling become a thing of the past. Workflows can be automated and responsibilities clarified.

03

Faster time to market

Launching or updating new products is faster, in one channel or across multiple channels simultaneously.

04

Fewer errors and conflicts

All product information comes from a single source, reducing conflicting information, omissions and typos.

05

Scalability with growth

Akeneo scales with your business: channels, languages, product volumes and integrations can grow without overloading your IT.

What is the difference between ERP and PIM?

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) manages, among other things, inventories, orders and prices. However, it is not designed for versatile product information enrichment, language versions or publication management. PIM does not replace ERP, it complements it.

Akeneo often acts as a link between ERP and the ecommerce store, enriching product information before it reaches the customer.

Who is Akeneo suitable for?

  • For ecommerce stores with hundreds or thousands of products
  • For businesses that sell across multiple channels or countries
  • For operators with many language versions and product types
  • For organisations where product information is needed across multiple teams or systems (e.g. marketing, customer service, sales)

What kind of clients are you a good fit for?

Whether you are an early-stage growth company or a large enterprise sharpening its competitiveness, we will build you a technically sustainable and commercially profitable Magento ecommerce store. Our experience covers a wide range of business models (B2B, B2C, D2C), integrations with Finnish and international systems and challenging projects that others could not complete.

How do you handle SEO and GEO: will our ecommerce be found on Google and in AI search?

Search engine optimisation (SEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO) start with the technology: pages must be indexable and clearly structured. Speed is part of the page experience that Google takes into account, but good scores do not guarantee rankings, as relevant content comes first. Above all, a fast store serves customers and conversions. According to Google, its AI features rely on the same basics as regular search: indexable, clear and well-structured content. We carry out speed optimisation and technical SEO and GEO work for Magento stores as part of continuous development.

So what exactly do you do?

Codaone specialises in designing, developing and maintaining Magento ecommerce stores. We build new Magento ecommerce stores, renew existing ones and take care of their continuous development, integrations and support. Our specialist services also include B2B ecommerce stores and Akeneo PIM development and maintenance.

Can a team that small guarantee quality?

Codaone is a privately owned and customer-focused development house whose owners work on the projects themselves. This means fast response, direct communication and a committed team. Our team consists of certified Magento experts with experience in numerous projects across various industries.

What are your prices like?

We price work either at a fixed price or by the hour, always agreed in advance and with no surprises. Our maintenance contracts run month to month, with no fixed terms or binding periods. The ecommerce audit is free of charge, so you see where you stand before you commit to anything.
