TESSA Connector for Akeneo 5.0

 

With this Connector Bundle you seamlessly connect Akeneo with the Digital Asset Management solution "TESSA" (https://www.tessa-dam.com). This provides you with a professional and fully integrated DAM solution for Akeneo to centrally store, manage and use all additional files for your products (e.g. images, videos, documents, etc.) in all channels.

More informationen is available at our website.

3. Enable the bundle in the config/bundles.php file:
