Akeneo Announce Launch of Akeneo PIM 2.0

Four years after the release of the PIM platform’s first public beta, Akeneo is preparing to launch their most significant product update to date. Akeneo 2.0 is set to launch on September 28th, and will provide retailers with comprehensive benefits.

With a redesigned interface, this new version has a vastly improved user experience based on months of end user research. Retailers can filter the channel and locale that they are working on and easily identify missing product information in a clean, intuitive interface. Version 2.0 also has optimised product management capabilities, simplifying work with more complex catalogs.

In perhaps the biggest update to the platform, Akeneo 2.0’s ‘Serenity’ edition provides access to Akeneo PIM from anywhere through the cloud, in a Software-as-a-Service format. With automated updates, Akeneo Serenity will easily benefit from new features as soon as they are released.

“We want to make the transition as smooth as possible so that the upgrade from 1.7 to 2.0 is as simple as possible,” said Nico Dupont, Co-Founder & Head of Engineering at Akeneo. “That’s why we’re launching a Migration Assistant simultaneously with the release 2.0, and will continue to invest in this type of change management technology in the future.”

More information is set to be released as the launch draws closer. To find out more about how Akeneo can streamline your businesses product information management,
