Case Study: Boshart Industries achieves a single source of truth and faster time-to-market with Akeneo

Finding A Solution To Keep Product Information Flowing

Boshart Industries, a Canadian manufacturer of rough plumbing and water well accessories, was struggling with inconsistent and inaccurate product data spread across legacy in‑house PIMs and Excel spreadsheets, which damaged customer trust and slowed time‑to‑market. To address these challenges the company selected Akeneo’s PIM/PXM solution for its user‑friendly interface and partner ecosystem.

Akeneo implemented a centralized PIM in a roughly six‑month rollout, integrating data from SAP ERP and the catalog system and putting 20–30 users to work enriching some 12,000 SKUs. The Akeneo solution created a single source of truth, eliminated widespread data errors, streamlined updates for the 300+‑page print catalog and eCommerce channels, boosted productivity, accelerated time‑to‑market, and positioned Boshart Industries to expand into new languages and markets.
