Holbi and ICEcat together in free catalogue for OScommerce users
Open ICEcat is used by around 1500 EMEA resellers, of which approximately 20% make use of osCommerce or siblings like Zencart and xtcommerce. The co-operation with Holbi responds to a growing number of requests from the osCommerce community -with more than 130 000 “members” the single most used webshop platform in the world- to provide easy tools for integrating ICEcat’s open catalogues, which include the leading technology brands like Philips, Sony, Samsung, IBM and HP.
Especially in the IT channel there is a new wave of (B2B) resellers starting with ecommerce. But also in Telecom, Office and Consumer Electronics the channel is digitizing at a fast pace. As margins for online resellers are under constant pressure, there is a huge demand for high-quality product content, without the need for manual data-entry, and against minimal costs. ICEcat can make this happen as currently around 100 mainstream technology manufacturers are sponsoring ICEcat to provide their product content even for free to their channel, as manufacturers want to improve their online “shelf position” now that internet has become the no 1 buyer orientation medium. Every week a new manufacturer joins Open ICEcat (the free product catalogue). In co-operation with Holbi, not only free Open ICEcat, but the full ICEcat database with more than 170 000 datasheets from more than 1200 brands will be disclosed to osCommerce users.
