Sitation and AutoQuotes (Revalize) recognized for data-driven PIM transformation delivering 71% cost reduction and 55% increase in product enrichment volume
CHICAGO, IL – April 15, 2026 – Sitation, a leader in digital commerce and AI-driven content operations, and certified Akeneo Gold partner, announced today that it has won the Growth Architect Award for the 2026 Akeneo PX Champion Awards. Akeneo’s annual award ceremony honors brands and their partners that have built and excelled in using product experience management (PXM) best practices to drive growth and turn challenges into opportunities as they adapt to the evolving omnichannel environment. All winners were recognized at the 2026 Unlock PX World Conference in Chicago.
Sitation was selected as the 2026 winner of the Growth Architect Award, which recognizes success in using insights as a blueprint for continuous, data-driven improvement loops, celebrating the closing of the gap between activation and performance by leveraging analytics and customer sentiment to drive ROI and operational excellence. Working closely with AutoQuotes from Revalize, a leading configure-price-quote (CPQ) provider supporting foodservice equipment and supplies manufacturers, Sitation implemented Akeneo PIM and its proprietary Plezio Fuse integration and validation platform to transform a manual, high-volume product enrichment operation into a scalable, automated engine for continuous improvement.
Before Akeneo, AutoQuotes relied on a homegrown data management approach that the company had outgrown as its business scaled. Key challenges included limited self-service capabilities, difficulty enforcing data governance, and heavy manual effort required to manage enterprise-scale updates, all while maintaining a 15-day maximum update turnaround. AutoQuotes manages a catalog of over 1,000,000 products across 5,000 product families and 10,000+ attributes.
Through the Akeneo implementation and Sitation’s Plezio Fuse platform, AutoQuotes achieved transformative results:
- 71% decline in cost per enriched product SKU following the Akeneo launch, reflecting sustained reduction in enrichment costs over time
- 55% increase in the volume of enriched products and updates completed, exceeding pre-Akeneo benchmarks
- 50% reduction in manual product creation processes through bulk updates and rules-based automation
- Throughput gains sustained despite a 30%+ reduction in team size, with the team completing updates at rates exceeding fully-staffed historical performance
- Nearly 16,000 products updated in a single day enabled by streamlined workflows and error-visibility improvements through Plezio Fuse
As an Akeneo Gold Partner, Sitation has worked hand-in-hand with Akeneo for several years, guiding global brands such as AutoQuotes (Revalize) to expand their business, enable seamless productivity across teams, and deliver compelling product experiences across every step of the customer journey. Sitation helps clients unlock the full potential of their PIM investment through expert strategy, implementation, and ongoing optimization, powered by proprietary technology like Plezio Fuse, which accelerates data validation and dramatically reduces error-correction cycle times.
“Being recognized as the Growth Architect at Akeneo Unlock 2026 is a testament to the incredible work our team and the AutoQuotes team have accomplished together. This award validates our belief that sustainable PIM success isn’t just about going live. It’s about continuously improving, automating smarter, and delivering measurable ROI for our clients. We’re proud of what we’ve built with AutoQuotes and excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Akeneo.”– Jon Dehne, COO & Principal, Sitation
