Akeneo: Custom Development

If your team keeps working around Akeneo, custom code can make the system fit the job.

When Standard Features Stop Short

Akeneo covers a lot out of the box, but your business has needs it doesn’t. Maybe suppliers send data in an odd format, your industry has its own validation rules, or your team fixes the same fields by hand every week.

We build custom Akeneo plugins, integrations and extensions that add what’s missing. That ranges from custom data import formats to industry-specific validation rules. Everything uses Akeneo’s official extension points and APIs, which helps your custom work hold up through upgrades.

What We Can Add

Connectors that move data in and out of your systems

Rule plugins that fill in product data for you

Custom screens built for how each team works

API links to the other systems you run on

Building What Akeneo Lacks

1

Define The Need

We pin down what the standard product can’t do, such as a supplier format or a validation rule.

2

Design The Extension

The work gets planned around Akeneo’s official extension points and APIs, which supports compatibility across upgrades.

3

Build And Integrate

Our developers write the bundles and connectors, including two-way links to your ERP where you need them.

4

Test Before Upgrades

We test custom code against new Akeneo versions before your production system gets upgraded.

Why Choose System Strats

We’ve implemented Akeneo for brands with complex product catalogs. Custom work builds on that understanding of PIM strategy and data governance, so new code supports Akeneo as the source of truth for your products.

Frequently Asked Questions

It can pull in data from outside sources, add validation rules for your industry and accept supplier data in special formats. It can also add custom dashboards and links to your ERP or your digital file library, known as a DAM.

Akeneo is built on Symfony, a PHP framework, with a React front end. Our developers are experienced with both, and they build custom bundles and API links that follow how Akeneo is designed.

Yes. We build two-way links between Akeneo and ERPs like NetSuite, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. They keep product data, pricing and stock levels in sync.

They’re built to. We use Akeneo’s official extension points and APIs, so custom work keeps running through upgrades. We also test it on new versions before upgrading your live system.
