Implementing Akeneo and Jitterbit to revolutionise Codex's data management and set the stage for a composable future.

Codex is a prominent supplier of office products, providing everything from stationery to large-scale office equipment. With an extensive range of SKUs sourced from multiple platforms, Codex supplies both large contracts and direct-to-business customers, offering a comprehensive catalog of office solutions.

The Challenge

Codex faced significant challenges in managing over a million SKUs aggregated from various sources.

Their ERP directly fed their ecommerce platform, resulting in inefficiencies, duplicated efforts, and bloated product catalogs. They needed a robust Product Information Management (PIM) system to simplify data flows, improve enrichment capabilities, and lay the groundwork for a composable digital strategy. Additionally, Codex was locked into a rigid ecosystem with limited flexibility to expand or innovate.

The Solution

5874 Commerce implemented Akeneo's Enterprise Edition PIM, recognising that Codex's requirements exceeded the capabilities of the Community Edition.

This enabled advanced automation, such as rules-based price changes and category assignments.


To bridge systems effectively, Jitterbit iPaaS was introduced to integrate Codex's ERP with their ecommerce platform. The new architecture decoupled the ERP from the ecommerce platform, placing Akeneo in the middle to streamline data flow and enrichment.


By restructuring the system architecture, Codex gained immediate operational improvements and the flexibility to pursue long-term digital goals, such as direct-to-consumer strategies.
