Akeneo Enterprise Serenity is also a SaaS-based like Growth. Akeneo EE has some advanced features like Asset Manager, Reference Entities, and Advance Rights Management. All the Webkul Extension is compatible with the Akeneo EE Serenity with Middleware software(Developed by Webkul).

 What is Akeneo PIM & why do I need it?

Akeneo PIM will allow you to gather all your product information in one single place, enrich it, and spread it to several channels like an e-commerce website like the Magento store, and a mobile application like Mobikul Native Apps.

You can store and export product information like name, and description, technical information like characteristics, material, logistics information like a product’s size, and weight, and media information like images.

  • Export bulk product data
  • Update product information on multiple channels
  • Supports multiple languages
  • Send product image

GraphQL API - Adobe Commerce 2.4.x Feature

GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language that administers the queries at runtime by using the Type System.

Magento 2.4.x implements GraphQL as an alternative to the traditional approach like SOAP/REST for custom frontend development, including headless storefronts and PWAs.

After implementing GraphQL in our Magento2 Akeneo connector, we can import only updated data from Magento.

  • With GraphQL, there is no need for versioning like REST. It is possible to add or update a new field without affecting the existing application. 
  • A user can get organized results with a single query defined in the typed schema.
  • GraphQL provides faster and more efficient results.

Asynchronous and Bulk Web API - Adobe Commerce 2.4.x Feature

Now the Magento 2.4.x works over the Asynchronous API. Asynchronous API enables the process of bulk requests asynchronously without waiting for the response from the server.

Bulk Web API is established on the rest principle and used for loading or deleting a large amount of data. Magento2.4.x works over Message Queue (RabbitMQ) which is a protocol that helps to execute the Web API Asynchronously and complete the task at the backend.

After implementing the Asynchronous and Bulk Web API, we can export the product in the queue and reduce the payload of bulk requests.

  • It includes separate status APIs that check the status of each request.
  • Provide more efficient and scalable implementations that eliminate round-trip network overhead.

 Product Attribute Mapping

A product attribute is the characteristics of the product that give information about the product and change the consumer purchase decision. Product attributes like size and description, color, weight, and price.

You can mention the detailed information about the product in Akeneo and map the Akeneo attributes fields with Magento2 product fields so that information is synchronized correctly.

  • Sync Magento2 field mapping with Akeneo attributes
  • A user can mention any fixed value for the exported products
  • Map additional product fields

Data Filter

Data filtering is used in Akeneo PIM for taking out information that is not necessary for the user. You can filter the data with the help of Channel, Locales, and Attributes.

  • Channel – You can select the channel like E-commerce, Mobile, and ERP where you want to export the data.
  • Locales – You can send the product information in Multiple locales.
  • Attribute –You can filter the attribute that you want to export from Akeneo to Magento 2.

Product Filter

Product filtering allows the users to refine products while exporting from Akeneo to Magento2. You can filter the product with Family, Status, Completeness, Time condition, and Category.

  • Family – You can select the product family which is indicating similar products. 
  • Status – You can Filter the product by status. Like- Enable, Disable.
  • Completeness - You can filter products with product completeness.
  • Time Condition – You can filter the product with time like - Updated product from since this date.
  • Category – You can filter the product with product category and sub-categories.

Export Multiple Images

Product images are essential when you are selling stuff online. Using this module, all the product images are exported to the Magento 2 store. You can export multiple pictures with high resolution.

When you export the images then exported product images go to the same folder and same format to the Magento2 store.

  • You can send multiple images
  • You can limit the size of an image 
  • Send high-resolution images

Export Categories

Categories help to export products that are similar. You can choose single or multiple categories for the export process. A product can be classified into one or more categories.

If you made changes in one category, then you can export only that category.

  • You can export the categories as such as in Akeneo
  • You can filter the categories

Export Product Variants

You can export the product and variants product in Akeneo to Magento 2. You can create a product model in Akeneo and add information about its variants such as color, size.

When the product is exported to the Magento 2 store, the product variant attributes and information are also exported and mapped on the Magento store. The variant product inherits all the properties of the products information.

  • Export variant product image
  • Variant product inventory
  • Auto-sync option names and option values

Export SEO Information

You can send search engine listing information with your products. We know SEO is crucial for getting maximum visibility and traffic to your website. SEO provides higher brand credibility and take your business next level. You can mention the following information about a product:

  • Meta URL key 
  • Meta Title
  • Meta keyword
  • Meta Description

Sync Multiple Stores

If you are managing multiple Magento2 stores, you can connect them with Akeneo and do product synchronization simultaneously. At the time of export, you can mention your Magento2 store credentials where the products will be created.

  • Send product data to multiple stores 
  • You can select various stores for exporting the products

Import From Magento 2

Associativity of the products means a group of product that is closely related. An associative product can be the product with the same types, same price range, and same customer types. In this connector, we are providing three types of association mapping:

  • Cross-sell products - Cross-selling of the product involves the product with the same kind.
  • Upsell Products - Upsell products typically involve trading up to a better version of what’s being purchased.

Great product and support by Webkul
Ce qui est super avec Webkul, c'est d'une part que leur produits sont stables et bien conçus, mais aussi que le support est de première qualité. Il est non seulement possible de résoudre l'essentiel des problèmes ou questions, mais il est possible d'avoir avec eux une discussion ouverte sur le roadmap de leurs extensions, qu'ils partagent avec les détails nécessaires, pour influencer le design de leurs extension et toujours trouver la meilleure option pour nos propres besoins. Cette équipe motivée fait toujours partie de ma première liste, dès lors que j'ai besoin d'une extension standard, et même si il est nécessaire d'y effectuer des adaptations. Very good Job guys and thank you very much ! Keep this great passion for Customers, it will bring you very far !
