Outdated product information on global websites

Akeneo faced a significant challenge in helping clients—particularly luxury brands—adapt its product information to different global markets. One of Akeneo's customers struggled with an inefficient translation process for its website that took six months to complete. With product collections being released every six months, this lengthy process meant its website was consistently one collection behind.

The outdated product information severely impacted the brand's ability to stay current in fast-moving global markets. It became clear that a more efficient, culturally sensitive solution was needed to streamline the translation process and ensure timely, accurate product information across all markets.
