Added value for retailers

What are the advantages for resellers of Integral Memory of this move to join the Icecat Commerce vendor network? Through Icecat Connect retailers, and their back-offices, receive timely purchase data, including purchase price and stock level. All data from all suppliers are provided in one single catalog export format. It is easy to integrate, as many plugins or end-to-end integrations are present. For example, for add-ons are present for Magento Commerce, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, etc etc. This catalog format can be found in the Iceportal, the web-based reseller purchase portal for manual lookup of supplier data. Further, the retailer benefits from standardized product data-sheets of Integral Memory by Icecat. These product data-sheets provide additional data such as categorization, GTIN, and standardized product descriptions. Thus, Icecat Connect turns product information from any supplier into a complete and up-to-date database.

In summary, the data is always available, and easy to find and share. For the integration of Icecat Connect, there are three export formats available. Firstly, the most commonly used standard Icecat Connect output. Secondly, a customized output, on request. And, finally a full integration with the client system. E.g., via a standard module or API2API. Possibly, in combination with other services such as Icecat PIM.
