Case Study: Legallais, France’s #1 hardware distributor, achieves 500% faster time-to-market with Akeneo PIM

Helping the #1 French Hardware Distributor Go Online with Akeneo PIM

Legallais, France’s #1 hardware distributor, needed to move a century‑old print catalog business into eCommerce but was held back by inconsistent, low‑quality product information and no single source of truth. To solve this, Legallais selected Akeneo PIM, an open‑source, customizable Product Information Management solution, to centralize and enrich product data.

Akeneo implemented a central PIM with integrations to ERP, DAM, e‑commerce and print channels, plus fast import/export tools and one‑day training for 30 users; as a result Akeneo enabled Legallais to enrich products five times faster, accelerate time‑to‑market by 500%, publish new products in a day, improve site search and SEO, and manage 50,000 SKUs across multiple channels while preparing for international expansion.
