From Akeneo to ainavio: migration in two to four weeks

From Akeneo you keep everything that makes up your product data:

• products and product models with their variants
• the category tree
• attributes, attribute groups and option values
• locales and channels
• media and files

Export as CSV or XLSX or via the API, as documented by Akeneo. ainavio reads the data as it is, no restructuring upfront.

1. Export and import. Export products, categories, attributes and media from Akeneo or connect Akeneo via API. ainavio reads the data.

2. AI mapping. ainavio recognises locale columns such as “name-en_US” as language variants, option values as value lists and attribute groups as a proposal for your attribute structure. Existing fields are matched, missing ones are created once you confirm. Existing attributes are never renamed or overwritten.

3. Review and approve. Before the import you see every product, every new category and every new attribute in a list and remove what does not fit.

4. Migrate every product in batches. The mapping applies to the data model, not to each product. Then every product runs through ainavio in the background, whether 5,000 or 500,000. You review samples.

5. Reconnect shops and marketplaces. The Marketplace Agent maps your data to the categories and mandatory attributes of Amazon, OTTO, Kaufland, Shopify, Shopware and more. You switch channel by channel; Akeneo can keep running in parallel.
