Akeneo joins Shopify’s Partner Programme as garden tool brand Felco benefits from integration

Akeneo, a product experience (PX) specialist and a provider of product information management (PIM) solutions, has joined Shopify’s Partner Programme as a Premier Partner.

The move sees it bringing its AI driven product content solutions to Shopify’s composable commerce ecosystem.  

“We are honoured to join Shopify’s growing ecosystem as a Premier Partner for Product Information Management,” says Romain Fouache, CEO at Akeneo.

“We know that every digital shopping experience relies on accurate and consistent product information. It’s become even more critical with AI transforming how consumers and B2B buyers research, discover, and purchase products. With Shopify, we are empowering brands to create and provide frictionless, enriched product experiences that drive not only revenue, but engagement and scalability at new speeds.”

Akeneo has launched the Akeneo App for Shopify, allowing customers to connect its PIM to Shopify storefronts, eliminate manual data entry by automating syndication of rich, accurate, and localised product data, and enabling ongoing catalogue governance with less operational effort.  

“With the use of Akeneo and Shopify, we were able, in just under six months, to grow our e-commerce presence from 10 countries to 170 countries and extend our capacity to sell spare parts directly through this channel,” says André Dias, Head of IT at Felco.

Additionally, Akeneo and Shopify customer Giant Tiger says that it accelerated its time to market with enriched data across its storefronts and unified product information for a more consistent shopping experience.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Composable commerce will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
