Case Study: Steelcase accelerates time-to-market and streamlines product data management with Akeneo

Steelcase is the recipient of the 2025 Accelerator Award for their remarkable achievements in streamlining product data management and accelerating time-to-market

Steelcase worked with Akeneo to untangle a complex web of product data that had been managed through spreadsheets and manual processes. Using Akeneo Product Cloud, including Supplier Data Manager (SDM), Steelcase needed a centralized way to handle multi-regional product catalogs, improve data governance, and speed up time-to-market.

Akeneo implemented a scalable product information solution with automated asset linking and cleaner supplier data workflows, creating a single source of truth for product information. The results included a 62% reduction in annual supplier data loading time, a 63.64% decrease in time spent per product family, a 63.61% reduction in product release hours, and a 67% increase in efficiency for managing multi-regional finish records.
