For integrating assortment and Icecat product data in your -e-commerce platforms, we have been working on the following connectors:

• In the Amazon connector, we’ve added export functionalities to provide mapping status information to internal and external users.
•  In the Odoo connector, we’ve improved the performance of category and product exports significantly.

While certain features are accomplished within a single sprint, the development of some functionalities may extend beyond one sprint duration. To ensure quality, all our functionalities undergo comprehensive testing. Consequently, completing a feature or development in the sprint does not automatically make it immediately available for our users. However, we assure you that we will keep all our customers informed about the new release dates, share release logs, and provide explanations about the features included and how they work through our blog. Moreover, if you need more detailed information on the new release features, please refer to the newest version of the Manual (in the Help section) or contact us.
