Ice Fresh

The story of Ice Fresh is one that spans over three continents – of how the Norwegian-based Ice Fresh was digitally empowered to be able to sell fish from Norway and Sri Lanka, all the way in China.

A fresh fish processing company, Ice Fresh since its establishment has spread its operations to several countries including Poland, Germany, Spain, France and most recently, China.

Up until its market expansion to China, Ice Fresh operated using a manual system, which made it problematic for them when required to cater to a large customer base in China. They understood that their only way forward was the complete digitization of the manual system

To overcome these challenges, the 99x team developed a sophisticated internet selling platform with fully-fledged supply chain management system powered by Azure Cloud services, equipped with unprecedented levels of product insights and sales analytics.
