Flex IT Distribution Sustainable Alternative in Iceshop Vendor Network

Flex IT Distribution joins the vendor network of Iceshop. This purchasing network is growing further, after the recent addition of Integral Memory. Who is Flex IT? Flex IT is a supplier for IT retailers in Europe for over 15 years. The supplier specializes in recycled alternatives to the latest equipment. This leads to significant cost benefits for end-users and a reduced carbon footprint.

Added value for Flex IT resellers

Resellers can now easily find the products of Flex IT in Iceportal, the purchase portal of Iceshop. Furthermore, they can automate the purchase connection via Iceimport and Iceorder. These purchase services are now also including product availability and personalized purchase prices for all Flex IT products. Consequently, Flex IT retailers can now offer refurbished alternatives to more expensive new products. In this way, they help their clients to meet their sustainability objectives.

How does it work? Retailers that use Iceportal can select Flex IT as a preferred supplier. Alternatively, they can find the distributor in the optional supplier list for the products it supplies. If a retailer chooses Flex IT as a preferred supplier, then the distributor is added to the list of connected suppliers. These preferences, streamline the ordering processes of a reseller. Further, system integration is easy because all data from the connected suppliers are provided in one single catalog export format.

Through plugins and end-to-end integrations, we make it still easier to integrate the standardized data into your platform. There are such standard plugins available for Magento, Prestashop, and WooCommerce.

By connecting as many retailers and suppliers as possible to the vendor network, we bring supply and demand together.

How to add rich product content?

Iceshop has a close connection to Icecat to deliver standardized rich product content, i.e., the product data-sheets that manufacturers are providing to help end-users in their decision process. Furthermore, rich content is useful for developing search filters and comparison tables. Our single catalog export format includes matching Icecat IDs. This makes it very easy to retrieve the matching Icecat datasheet from the Icecat database.

Benefits for Flex IT

Flex IT gets access to the resellers that are already part of the Iceshop network. As Flex IT joins the Iceshop vendor network, retailers can now more easily find the distributor’s offers. This generates sales leads for Flex IT. Furthermore, the purchasing process is fully digitized. In short, Iceshop takes care of the automated exchange of price and availability, orders, and order status messaging via Iceportal, Iceimport, and Iceorder.
