How an Akeneo implementation runs
Each implementation follows the same structured path, adapted to your catalog, systems and team.
Discovery and planning
We start with your business goals and product data challenges.
- Project objectives and success measures agreed with key stakeholders
- A review of your current data models, processes and workflows
- A clear implementation roadmap
Data modeling and taxonomy
We shape Akeneo’s data structure around your catalog.
- Custom data models that fit your product catalog
- A taxonomy that stays logical as you grow
- Data quality rules business users can maintain
Platform configuration
We configure Akeneo to match how your teams work.
- User roles and permissions
- Automated workflows, such as automated classification
- Akeneo’s built-in features used to close data quality gaps
Integration
We connect Akeneo to the systems around it, including ERP and e-commerce platforms, so product data flows where it is needed.
Training, go-live and support
Your team launches with confidence and support.
- Training for the business users who manage product data
- Testing and validation of systems and data flows
- Hands-on go-live support and a 30-day warranty period
What to expect in an Akeneo implementation
An Akeneo implementation goes faster when a few decisions and materials are ready early. Here is what we ask of your team and what you can expect from us.
Before kickoff
Gather what the data model will be built around.
- A sample of your product data, including products with variants
- The systems Akeneo will connect to, such as your ERP and eCommerce platform
- The channels and markets to support first
- A product owner and the business users who will manage product data
During the project
Your team makes the business decisions, and we turn them into configuration.
- Working sessions on data models and taxonomy
- Data quality rules that business users can maintain
- Testing and validation of systems and data flows
After go-live
Your team runs Akeneo day to day, with support in place.
- Training for the business users who manage product data
- Hands-on go-live support and a 30-day warranty period
- Managed Akeneo services for day-to-day support

Questions about Akeneo implementation
What does an Akeneo implementation include?
Discovery and planning, data modeling and taxonomy, platform configuration, integration with systems such as ERP and e-commerce, training, testing and go-live support.
How long does an Akeneo implementation take?
It depends on scope, data volume and integrations, and we set the timeline during discovery. For example, Sitation completed Lordco Auto Parts’ full Akeneo implementation, including 862,000 product records and 55 million fitment records, in 12 weeks.
What support is there after go-live?
Every implementation includes a 30-day warranty period to fine-tune the system and resolve post-launch issues. Managed Akeneo services can then take over day-to-day support.
What should we prepare before an Akeneo implementation?
A sample of product data that includes your most complex products and variants, a list of the systems Akeneo must connect to, the channels to launch first and the people who will own the data. Our article on avoiding common Akeneo implementation bottlenecks covers what tends to slow projects down.
Which systems can Akeneo connect to?
Akeneo connects to the systems around it, such as ERP and eCommerce platforms, so product data flows where it is needed. Sitation designs and builds those integrations as part of the implementation. See Akeneo extensions, add-ons and integrations.
