See you in Iceclog.com, our new blog!

Iceclog(Icecat content-log) is our new blog, where you will find e-commerce insights (about PIM tools, best practices, etc.), statistics, latest partnerships and technical manuals on how to integrate the Icecat catalog at its best. Our posts are based on the industry experience of our team, from editors to product managers.

Among others, we recently published an excerpt of our contribution to TradeMag, Taiwan. TradeMag interviewed Icecat CEO Hoogeveen and APAC director JJ Jan in its August 17, 2016 issue (#449) to talk about the Netherland as the new e-commerce cross-border port after Brexit. Read the entire article.

The Iceclog project is still at an early stage, improving day-by-day its design interface, user experience and content. We chose to start with a minimal working version. And improve sprint by sprint.

Take a look at Iceclog, feel free to comment, share, interact and ask questions. Our team will be happy to help.

From now on, all Icecat posts will be in Iceclog... See you there!
