Case Study: Leatherman achieves streamlined product-data management and faster time-to-market with Akeneo

How Leatherman Tools harnessed Akeneo PIM to reduce time-to-market, inc.

Leatherman, a 40+ year maker of multitools, was constrained by a decade-old legacy PIM that produced erroneous data, had a cumbersome UI, weak search and validation, and hindered their direct-to-consumer and marketplace growth. After a cross-functional selection process, Leatherman chose Akeneo as their PIM vendor, working with implementation partner Aleysian to replace the outdated system.

Akeneo (with Aleysian on implementation) delivered a modern SaaS PIM—featuring intuitive interfaces, product models, families, rule-based validation and integrations with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Bynder and TransPerfect—that met Leatherman’s 100+ requirements. The Akeneo deployment produced measurable benefits: time savings for teams, improved data integrity, faster time-to-market, and streamlined workflows that enable Leatherman to merchandise more effectively across channels.
