Belgian Exellent asks its Vendors to Enter Product Content in Icecat

Exellent is the largest chain of independent specialist electro stores in Belgium after the subsequent mergers with Expert, Electronic Partners en Selexion. The chain includes currently around 1000 physical stores, 400 of which have a repair service included. Exellent, as a Full Icecat subscriber, joins now the Free Vendor Central Program. And, asks its vendors to register and start entering and enriching their product content via the Vendor Central interface. Or to join the premium services of Open Icecat for unlimited or controlled content syndication to all their channel partners.

We are delighted with the collaboration with Icecat and its great product content. To further enrich product content for our e-commerce environment, we need quality product content from brands.

Kenneth Claus, Sales Manager Electro at Exellent

Icecat helps brands to be more effective, promote, and position their products in the Exellent Webshop and elsewhere. Furthermore, Icecat helps to improve coverage and completeness of product content and reduce the time-to-market for new products.

Exellent is one of our first major partners in Belgium and they always encourage their suppliers to use Icecat as it is a win-win for all: for Exellent, Icecat, and the brand owner.
