Akeneo

Akeneo Product Cloud is the complete and composable SaaS-based solution to activate your product story wherever your customers are. Deliver engaging, world-class product experiences across all your owned and unowned channels with agility and accuracy.

This integration allows business users to build personalized landing pages and storefronts by repurposing asset and product content from your Akeneo PIM. It also enables developers to use their preferred front-end tools to build these applications.

Adding the Akeneo integration to your Uniform project adds new parameter types that you can add to your Uniform Canvas components.
