Connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC and akeneo

Connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC and Akeneo for a company could enable the transfer of product data between the two systems. This could help ensure that product information maintained in Akeneo is available for business processes managed in Dynamics 365 BC, reducing manual data entry and supporting data consistency across platforms.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC and akeneo around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC and akeneo?

A company operating both Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC and Akeneo could benefit from connecting these systems in order to ensure that business data remains consistent and up to date across departments. Without a connection, teams might need to manually update product information, pricing, or inventory levels in both systems, which can lead to errors such as duplicate data entry, inconsistencies between records, and decisions being made based on outdated or mismatched information. Over time, this lack of synchronization could result in operational inefficiencies, increased administrative workload, and difficulties in maintaining accurate reporting. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of certain types of data that are commonly managed within these systems. For example, product information such as descriptions, attributes, and images could be shared between Akeneo, which is known as a product information management (PIM) system, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC, which is recognized as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Other possible data exchanges could include stock levels, pricing details, and product identifiers. The actual data that can be shared depends on what each system makes available through its API and is determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC 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.
