The main purpose of a PIM is to be a central repository of all product data of a company. From a technical point of view, a PIM helps to extract and harmonize data, and propagate data to / from different sources. From a functional point of view, a PIM helps to classify, enrich and translate your product information. Akeneo, founded in 2012, strives to provide this. Their conviction that products are the most important assets of a company and that merchants were missing a tool to help them manage efficiently those assets, inspired them to provide a tool designed for marketers and flexible enough to be integrated with any third party application.
