Akeneo PIM Migration

Akeneo Migration Services

Akeneo migration is a redesign of how product content is owned—not a weekend file copy. Spygar migrates catalogs from spreadsheets, legacy PIM platforms, and ERP extracts with profiling, mapping, dual-run channel feeds, and rollback plans.

Akeneo Migration Services

We measure success as trusted publishes after cutover: completeness, media integrity, and channel acceptance. Your old path stays available until Akeneo proves itself under real load.

  • Clean golden records in Akeneo
  • No silent channel downtime at cutover
  • Documented data dictionary for the future
  • Teams operating in the new system within weeks
Akeneo Migration Services — Spygar
Capabilities

What we deliver

Practical Akeneo PIM capabilities scoped to this service—built for ecommerce and retail catalog teams.

Data profiling

Null rates, duplicates, orphan variants, broken assets, and locale gaps quantified up front.

Structural mapping

Source schemas mapped to Akeneo families, attributes, product models, and associations.

Cleansing & normalization

Option taxonomies, units, identifiers, and de-duplication before production import.

Dual-run cutovers

Keep legacy feeds alive until Akeneo exports pass acceptance tests.

Rehearsal checklists

Dry runs, PDP QA, partner sample confirmation, and named rollback owners.

Process migration

SOPs and training so teams stop depending on the old sheets.
