About Akeneo

Akeneo is a global technology company specializing in Product Information Management (PIM) and product data intelligence software. Its cloud-based solutions allow companies to centralize, manage, and enrich all product information—from descriptions and images to technical specifications—ensuring data consistency across every sales and marketing channel. Akeneo empowers brands, manufacturers, and retailers to enhance their product experiences, accelerate time-to-market, and improve operational efficiency. Teams adopt Akeneo to bring coherence to sprawling product catalogs, boost collaboration, and automate data enrichment tasks, gaining a strong competitive edge in omnichannel commerce environments. With built-in AI tools, Akeneo also offers smart product data curation to help businesses make data-driven merchandising decisions.

Use Cases in Practice

Akeneo connects product teams, merchandisers, marketers, and ecommerce operations by centralizing complex information. However, even the best PIM systems struggle when teams waste time hunting for details across dashboards or chasing colleagues for the latest product status. Runbear’s AI agent bridges this gap—acting as a direct line between your team and Akeneo’s data, right inside your daily communications.

For instance, when a product manager needs an updated accessories list for a new launch, they just ask the AI agent in Slack. In seconds, the agent pulls product attributes from Akeneo—no tab-switching, no context lost. Routine catalog audits are handled proactively: the AI agent runs scheduled quality checks and highlights data gaps or inconsistencies in your team’s channel, so teams fix issues before they become urgent. Need on-the-fly product info (‘What’s the status of our Spring shoe SKUs?’) or want to collaborate on a new product update? Your team can chat with the AI agent, get instant answers, generate visual charts, and even draft updates for Akeneo—all without interrupting their workflow.

This automation mirrors strategies used for real-time KPI reporting, Slack-native business analytics, and instant data queries, making Runbear + Akeneo a powerful choice for teams seeking to scale productivity and maintain data quality.

Akeneo vs Akeneo + AI Agent: Key Differences

Integrating Akeneo with Runbear transforms manual data checks and team collaboration into AI-powered automation. Teams shift from static dashboards and emails to instant access, conversational queries, and scheduled Akeneo reports right inside Slack, Teams, or Discord. The AI agent bridges the gap between technical data and everyday workflows, empowering teams to act faster, stay aligned, and consistently maintain high-quality product data.

Implementation Considerations

Adopting the Akeneo + Runbear integration requires thoughtful planning. Initial setup needs coordinated access—making sure both Akeneo and your communication tool are securely linked via Runbear. Teams must invest some time training the AI agent to understand company-specific product taxonomy and preferred workflows, which pays off in long-term usability. Change management is essential: team members need onboarding and support to maximize value from conversational automation. Costs must be weighed against efficiency gains; while Runbear reduces manual work, regular review is important to optimize usage. Organizations should also review permissions and data governance, ensuring that only appropriate team members can access sensitive Akeneo data via AI agents. Lastly, robust documentation and clear guidelines on when and how to engage the AI agent will help drive consistent adoption.
