Case Study: The Agent achieves faster time-to-market with Akeneo Supplier Data Manager

Achieved a 50% reduction in time-to-market, enabling product exports to European marketplaces in under 10 days

The Agent, an apparel marketplace and brand partner platform, was struggling with a growing volume of product data, multiple marketplaces, and time-consuming manual enrichment and classification work. To improve efficiency and collaboration, The Agent adopted Akeneo’s Supplier Data Manager (SDM) to streamline catalog imports, reduce back-and-forth with brand partners, and handle normalization and mapping more effectively.

With Akeneo’s SDM, The Agent enabled self-service supplier access, automated much of the enrichment and correction process, and used AI to fix classification errors across channels. The results were significant: time-to-market was cut by 50%, product exports to European marketplaces took under 10 days, teams became twice as fast, online product references grew 2.5x over two years, and returns dropped by 11 points on average.
