Overview
If you’re a typical PIM customer, you must be selling hundreds or thousands of products via one or more channels. Each of your products likely has a variety of digital assets – images (silos, environmentals, lifestyle, 3D etc), videos, product sheets (warranty, assembly instructions, safety sheets, etc.), and more. Assuming you are using a DAM system like Widen (an Acquia company), preparing and transferring digital assets into PIM, linking them to applicable products and variants, and synchronizing them to multiple digital channels is often a manual and error-prone process that can lead to negative impact on digital customer experiences and sales.
Bridge this gap and ensure product data is harmonized with your digital assets. Our Widen DAM Connector for Akeneo PIM is designed to align your asset operations with your product data operations and give you full control of your omnichannel product listings for improved sales and customer experiences.
StrikeTru’s fully integrated Widen Connector for Akeneo PIM creates an automatic sync between Akeneo PIM and Widen (an Acquia company DAM. Sync product images & videos, 3D product images, product sheets, product swatches, brand logos, category images, and more from Widen DAM to Akeneo PIM. It also supports a reverse sync that transfers key product information from Akeneo PIM into Widen DAM to minimize manual data entry of asset meta-data (product ID, brand, category, etc), and can enable efficient asset operations (search, enrich, update, expire, delete, etc.) in Widen DAM.
