Connect Microsoft Dynamics AX and akeneo

Connecting Microsoft Dynamics AX and Akeneo for a company could enable the transfer of product information between the systems. This could support consistent product data across business processes, such as procurement, inventory, and sales. The integration could reduce manual data entry and help maintain accuracy in product catalogs and related business documents.

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

Why connect Microsoft Dynamics AX and akeneo?

A company that operates both Microsoft Dynamics AX and Akeneo could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange. Without such a connection, teams may need to enter the same information into both platforms, which can increase the risk of errors and lead to inconsistencies between records over time. This manual process could also cause delays, resulting in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data. By enabling these systems to communicate, a company could reduce the administrative burden and maintain more accurate and timely information across both platforms. When considering which types of data might be exchanged, organizations often look at the core functions of each system. Microsoft Dynamics AX is widely recognized as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, while Akeneo is known as a product information management (PIM) platform. In this context, the kinds of data that could be exchanged include product details, inventory levels, pricing information, and possibly supplier data. The goal would be to ensure that product information managed in Akeneo is reflected in Microsoft Dynamics AX and that relevant transactional or stock data from AX is available in Akeneo for accurate product catalog management. The specific data that can be exchanged depends entirely on what each system allows through its API and must be 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 AX 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.
