Akeron – a global enterprise application software provider specialized in incentive management and sales performance – has been selected by Printemps, one of France’s most iconic retail leaders in fashion, luxury, beauty, and lifestyle retail, to modernize its variable compensation and performance management framework. This initiative is part of a broader transformation focused on sales effectiveness, employee engagement, and strategic alignment.
As organizations grow increasingly complex and expectations around performance evolve in the retail sector, Printemps – remaining true to its commitment to innovation – has decided to move beyond traditional compensation models. The objective: to adopt a transparent and scalable approach that ensures consistent recognition of performance across both store and headquarters teams.
To support this transformation, Vulki by Akeron has been selected by Printemps. Vulki is an intelligent, AI-powered platform designed to unify incentive compensation, sales performance, and governance within a single system. By replacing fragmented and manual processes with an integrated framework, Vulki enables real-time connection between people, performance, and strategy.
With Vulki by Akeron, Printemps will be able to consistently value individual and collective performance, regardless of role or location, reinforce employee engagement by making performance objectives and rewards clearer and more actionable, and provide HR and business leaders with unified oversight and centralized governance of all incentive initiatives.
“We are proud to support an iconic French brand like Printemps in a pivotal transformation of its incentive compensation model. True performance is driven by people and engaging them effectively is essential to achieving corporate objectives. This demands robust, enterprise-grade technology platforms that unify processes, connect data, people, and strategy, and provide the governance required to operate at scale – securely and sustainably. This is exactly the value Vulki by Akeron delivers.” said Manuel Vellutini, Co-CEO, Akeron.
“Printemps’ success is built on the strength of our teams. With Vulki by Akeron, we aim to provide every employee with clear, motivating recognition of their contribution, while streamlining our processes to better support collective performance,” said Mélanie TURPIN, Group HR Director, Printemps.
