We work transparently, in a structured way and with long-term support in mind. PIM strategy, data model, integration, migration, onboarding and optimisation come from one team that knows your setup from day one. That way Akeneo becomes the backbone of your product data across all channels and markets.
Akeneo Agency for PIM and Product Data
creativestyle is an Akeneo Gold Partner. We plan, implement and run Akeneo PIM: data model, shop and ERP integration, migration and AI-supported enrichment from one team. Your product data becomes a reliable foundation for your shop, marketplaces and AI applications.
What an Akeneo agency does for you
Akeneo provides the software for product information management: product families, attributes, categories, workflows, quality rules and distribution to your channels. What it doesn't provide: a data model that fits your assortment, the connection to ERP, shop and marketplaces, the transfer of your existing data, and processes your team can rely on every day. That's the job of an Akeneo agency. It designs the data model, sets up Akeneo, builds the interfaces, migrates the data and trains your team.
What Akeneo can do as a system and who it suits is explained on our page about Akeneo.
Our Akeneo services
From the first analysis to ongoing operations, these are the services we cover in Akeneo projects.
Consulting and selection
We check whether Akeneo fits your assortment, channels and processes, and help you choose the right package.
Data modelling
We set up families, attributes, categories, variants, locales and channels so the model grows with your assortment.
Integration
Connecting Shopware, Magento, Shopify or commercetools, your ERP, DAM and marketplaces via the Akeneo API, connectors or custom interfaces.
Migration
Moving data from spreadsheets, ERP or another PIM, and upgrading from Akeneo 7 on-premise or PaaS to the SaaS version.
Data quality and AI
Quality rules, completeness checks and AI-supported enrichment and translation, so your product data also works for AI search and AI agents.
Training and operations
Onboarding your team, support and further development after go-live, from new channels to new assortments.
Why creativestyle as your Akeneo agency
A PIM project succeeds or fails with the data model and the interfaces. That takes a partner who knows Akeneo and the systems around it. Four things make the difference.
Three of Akeneo's four founders worked at Smile, the group creativestyle belongs to today, before founding Akeneo in 2013. We have worked with Akeneo since its early years and know the platform across many versions, from simple catalogues to multi-market models.
Smile is one of Europe's major Akeneo partners. As part of the group, we combine creativestyle's technical expertise with PIM knowledge from many Akeneo projects across Europe: best practices, proven methods and direct access to specialists.
We also build the shops your product data flows into: on Shopware, Magento, Shopify and commercetools. That's why we plan the data model and shop integration together, with no handovers between agencies.
In our Akeneo projects, clients have measured a time to market more than 30% shorter after go-live. The levers: more efficient product creation workflows, automated enrichment and central distribution to all commerce channels.

How an Akeneo project works
Five steps from the first call to ongoing development.
1. Discovery and data analysis
We look at your assortment, data sources, channels and processes, and clarify who maintains which data day to day.
2. Data model and concept
We define families, attributes, categories, roles and workflows, as well as the interfaces to ERP, shop and marketplaces.
3. Setup and integration in sprints
You see regular progress and give feedback before the next building block starts.
4. Data migration and onboarding
Existing data moves into Akeneo after cleanup, and your team gets to know the system in training sessions.
5. Go-live and further development
After go-live, we take care of support, optimisation and new channels, languages or assortments.
Sharing knowledge. Building connections. Discovering new ideas.
At Akeneo events, trade fairs and workshops, we are active in the community, exchange ideas with partners and bring fresh input into every project.

Frequently asked questions about our Akeneo services
It plans, implements and runs your PIM on Akeneo: data model, setup, integration with ERP, shop and marketplaces, data migration, training and further development. Akeneo provides the software; the agency turns it into a PIM that fits your assortment and processes.
Costs consist of the Akeneo licence and the project. Project effort depends mainly on the size and complexity of the data model, the number of interfaces and the state of your existing data. After the first workshop, you get a reliable estimate from us.
That depends on your assortment, interfaces and data quality. We plan in stages: first the data model, the most important data sources and one channel go live, then further channels, languages and automations follow.
Support for the on-premise and PaaS versions of Akeneo 7 ended on 30 September 2026. Since then, there have been no more bug fixes or security updates for them. We review your customisations, rebuild them for the SaaS version via the API and extensions, and handle the move of your data and processes.
Yes, integration is at the core of every Akeneo project. We connect Shopware, Magento, Shopify, commercetools, ERP systems, DAM and marketplaces via the Akeneo REST API, existing connectors or custom interfaces. Because we also build the shops, both come from one team.
AI assistants, answer engines and AI agents rely on structured product data. The more complete and clean your attributes are, the better your products are found and the more accurately they are described. We set up quality rules, use Akeneo's AI features for enrichment and translation, and make sure the data reaches every channel.
By your requirements, not by preference. Akeneo is a specialised PIM with an interface business teams adopt quickly, and it runs as SaaS. Pimcore is a broader data platform with PIM, DAM and master data that can be customised more extensively. Because we also work as a Pimcore agency, we know both systems and tell you openly what fits.
We involve business teams early, set up roles, permissions and workflows based on how you actually work, and train everyone who works with Akeneo. Completeness checks show every team at a glance which data is still missing.
