Connect Intershop and akeneo

Connecting Intershop and Akeneo for a company using both could enable the transfer of product data between the two platforms. This project would involve mapping product attributes, synchronizing updates, and ensuring data consistency. It could support more efficient product information management and help maintain accurate, up-to-date listings across sales channels.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Intershop and akeneo around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Intershop and akeneo?

A company operating both Intershop and Akeneo could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter or update product information in both platforms, which can lead to errors, inconsistent records, and wasted effort. Over time, product details, pricing, and availability could drift apart in the two systems, making it difficult for teams to make decisions based on up-to-date and reliable information. This situation could also result in customers seeing outdated or incorrect product data, impacting sales and customer satisfaction. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of product data, including descriptions, specifications, images, and pricing, between Akeneo, which is widely known as a product information management system, and Intershop, which is recognized as an e-commerce platform. The specific types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the capabilities and configuration of each system. Ultimately, what can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Intershop and akeneo make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
