Akeneo, the Product Experience (PX) company and leading provider of Product Information Management (PIM) solutions, today announced innovative capabilities in its latest release. Powered by its 2022 fundraising and 2023 growth, these capabilities reinforce Akeneo’s commitment to creating a world where every product interaction is an experience that guides consumers and professionals to the best purchase, anytime, anywhere.
“As we unveil our Spring 2024 release, we’re celebrating the fruits of Akeneo’s strategic evolution,” said Fred de Gombert, CEO of Akeneo. “Our journey since the 2022 fundraising has been one of bold steps and breakthroughs, leveling Akeneo up the competitive rungs of product experience management solutions. This year we’re thrilled to celebrate recent success and propel ourselves to new levels of growth.”
Ubiquitous AI in Akeneo Product Cloud
Akeneo’s App Marketplace offers clients the most extensive options on the market for leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for PX. Now, thanks to its acquisition of Unifai last year, Akeneo has rapidly incorporated some of the most impactful AI use cases natively into Akeneo PIM and Akeneo Supplier Data Manager, with specially tuned AI that is expert at data onboarding, enrichment, mapping, cleansing and categorisation, while continually learning and refining its capabilities with each step it takes.
