✅ Define What "Ready" Means with Readiness Policies

Type: New | Feature: Governance Data quality Automation | Packaging: Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Completeness tells you whether required product information is there. Readiness tells you whether that information is fit for a specific business goal.

With Readiness Policies, you can define what “ready” means for a marketplace, market launch, sustainability objective, ecommerce experience, or any other business requirement — and evaluate products consistently against those rules.

💡 Why it matters

• Go beyond data presence: Validate whether product information actually meets the conditions required for a specific goal.
• Bring business rules into Akeneo: Replace readiness checks maintained in spreadsheets, scripts, or downstream systems.
• Scale governance consistently: Apply different definitions of “ready” across products, channels, locales, markets, and business objectives.

✨ What's New?

• 🎯 Define readiness for each business goal: Choose the relevant products, channels, and locales, then define requirements based on product values, categories, relationships, assets, and more.
• 📈 Turn requirements into an actionable score: Get a readiness score from 0 to 100, with visibility into the unmet requirements that need attention.
• 🔀 Manage multiple definitions of “ready”: Evaluate the same product against several policies at once — for example, your ecommerce site, a marketplace, and a sustainability standard.
• 🧭 See readiness where teams work: Access readiness directly from the Product Edit Form, Product Grid, and Activity Dashboard, and use it through Akeneo APIs and events.

🔗Automate Product Relationships with Product Compatibility

Type: New | Feature: Productivity Automation Scalability | Packaging: Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Products that are designed to work — or live — together shouldn’t depend on manual associations.

With Product Compatibility, define the business rules that determine which products belong together and let Akeneo keep those relationships up to date as your catalog evolves. From automotive fitment and spare parts to accessories, coordinated collections, and merchandising, you can manage dynamic product relationships directly in the PIM at scale.

💡 Why it matters

• Replace manual product-by-product associations: Define reusable matching rules instead of maintaining relationships one by one.
• Keep relationships accurate as your catalog evolves: New matching products are automatically included based on the conditions you define.
• Support technical and merchandising use cases: Manage everything from spare-part fitment and compatible components to accessories, collections, and coordinated products.
• Activate trusted relationships everywhere: Make compatibility data available to downstream experiences through Akeneo and its APIs.

✨ What's New?

• 🔗 Create automatic association types: Define one-way or two-way association types and the criteria products must meet to be considered compatible.
• 🎯 Control exactly what should match: Select the products the relationship applies to, identify potential compatible products, and refine the matching criteria using product attributes.
• 👀 See compatibility directly on the product: Automatic relationships appear alongside your existing manual associations in the Product Edit Form.
• 🔌 Use compatibility downstream: Retrieve relationships through the REST API to power ecommerce experiences, dealer portals, configurators, and other channels.

🔐Govern Akeneo Access Like the Rest of Your Enterprise

Type: New | Feature: Governance | Packaging: Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Large organizations need Akeneo to fit into the same identity and security framework as their other enterprise systems.

With Enterprise Access & Security Governance, automate how users get access to Akeneo, keep permissions aligned with your corporate identity systems, and give security teams greater visibility into activity across the PIM.

💡 Why it matters

• Reduce manual access management: Automate user creation, updates, and offboarding instead of managing accounts one by one.
• Keep access aligned with corporate identity systems: Apply your existing identity and security processes to Akeneo.
• Strengthen security and auditability: Give IT and security teams the visibility they need to monitor activity and support compliance requirements.

✨ What's New?

• ⚡ Provision users when they need access with JIT: Automatically create an Akeneo account the first time a user signs in through your corporate SSO.
• 🔄 Automate the user lifecycle with SCIM: Synchronize users and access with your identity provider, so role changes and departures can be reflected automatically in Akeneo.
• 📡 Bring Akeneo activity into your security monitoring: Stream PIM audit events to your SIEM platform so security teams can monitor Akeneo alongside the rest of your enterprise environment.

🤖 Turn PX Insights Into Prioritized Action, Faster

Type: Enhancement | Feature: Productivity Data quality Automation | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

PX Insights helps you understand how your product information performs beyond the PIM. Now, it also makes it much easier to know where to start and what to do next.

AI Discovery and AI Readiness analyses are automatically initiated on selected products, while a redesigned PX Insights dashboard brings the most relevant opportunities to the surface first. From there, choose how you want to improve your product data: fix it manually, send it to a workflow, or let Ziggy help apply the change at scale.

💡 Why it matters

• Start with insights, not setup: Get useful PX Insights recommendations without having to launch every analysis manually.
• Focus on the opportunities that matter most: Prioritized recommendations help teams quickly identify where product data or the data model can be improved.
• Move from insight to action: Turn recommendations into concrete catalog improvements using the approach that best fits the task and your team.

✨ What's New?

• 📊 Start with a dashboard already filled with insights: Open PX Insights to find prioritized opportunities from automatically initiated AI Discovery and AI Readiness analyses on selected products — helping you know where to focus without launching every analysis yourself.
• 🎯 Understand what needs attention: See which products, families and attributes are affected, so you can quickly understand the scope and the improvement needed.
• ⚡ Choose how to take action: Edit affected products individually, route them through a workflow, or let Ziggy prepare improvements across the relevant catalog scope for your review and approval.

✨Put Ziggy to Work Across More Product Operations

• Reduce technical overhead: Let business users understand issues and configure product operations without digging through logs or complex setup screens.
• Stay in control: Ziggy works within your permissions and asks for approval before applying changes.

✨ What's New?

✨ And There's More: Everyday Improvements Across the Product Cloud

Alongside the Autumn Release highlights, this month brings a set of practical improvements that strengthen governance, reduce repetitive work, and make everyday catalog operations easier.

🕵️ Governance and Traceability

• 🏷️ Add business context directly to your attributes with Attribute Metadata: Define custom metadata such as channel visibility, website behavior, supplier access, ERP flags, ownership, or lifecycle status — and manage it natively in Akeneo instead of spreadsheets or customizations. Metadata can also be imported, exported, accessed through the API, and is tracked in attribute history. Now generally available across all packages.
• 🔎 Understand unexpected data changes faster: Rules and Reference Entities now include a History tab showing who changed what and when, including previous and new values, with up to three years of history.

🧱 Less Manual Catalog Maintenance

• 🏷️ Give variants names your teams recognize: Choose which attribute should be used as the display name for sub-models and variants instead of relying only on variant axis values.
• 🤝 Collaborate on families without overwriting unrelated work: Saving a family now applies only your changes, helping teams work simultaneously across channels and locales with greater confidence.

⚙️ Automation That Removes Repetitive Steps

• 🔢 Create Reference Entity records faster: Generate record codes automatically using a prefix and incremented number across the UI, imports, and API.
• ♻️ Recover events after interruptions: Event Platform can retain events generated while a subscription is suspended and replay them once the subscription resumes.
• 🧹 Protect product model data during partial imports: Choose whether empty values in an import should clear existing product model information.
• 🧪 Transform import data directly in Tailored Import: Use dynamic content to combine source columns and apply transformation logic without preparing a separate spreadsheet first.
• 🧲 Keep asset-product relationships accurate: Product Link Rules can automatically remove links when an asset no longer matches the relevant SKU, locale, or channel.

⚡ Fewer Clicks, Fewer Tools

• ✅ Update product status directly from the grid: Change Status inline in the Advanced Product Grid without opening each product.
• 🧭 Adapt the grid to the way you work: Add hierarchy-level filters to your preferences and reorder filters with drag and drop.
• ✂️ Crop images directly in Akeneo DAM: Make quick image adjustments without downloading, editing, and uploading the asset again.
• 🧾 Configure Shopify sync filters without JSON: Build filters from dropdowns, preview how many products match, save presets, and reuse them across syncs.
