The story of Simtech<\/strong>, our company, started on August 2, 2005,<\/strong> when we made our first sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During these 10 years, Simtech has evolved from a small start-up to a corporate group that develops CS-Cart<\/a> and builds custom online stores<\/a> for the clients throughout the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, we proudly look at the results we have achieved since 2005: over 35,000 stores work on CS-Cart in 170 countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To remember this year, we celebrated our 10th anniversary not as the CS-Cart team, but as fearless treasure hunters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To get the treasure we had to go through trials and prove ourselves just as in the Fort Boyard game show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>We Tested Our Intelligence<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our guy and the Master of Sticks were picking one, two, or three sticks in turns up from the table. Who picks the last stick\u2014loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We worked out the right scheme and won:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>We Tested Our Resourcefulness<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Filling three tubes with water using a cloth doesn\u2019t seem a hard challenge. The problem was\u2014filling tubes with water squeezed out of a cloth takes time. And we had time to fill only one tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our guys did just fine: first they filled the biggest tube and then other small tubes from the big one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>We Tested Our Courage<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenge was to get a coin from the bottom of a vessel filled with hissing cockroaches and worms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our girls did the job without batting an eyelash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>We Tested Our Stamina<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two bottles of water, two tough guys, and a rope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who touches the rope first\u2014loses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>We Tested Our Strength<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winning at tug of war is a piece of cake if you work as one team. Especially when the strongest guys are in your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tug of war was the final trial:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we got our reward\u2014small bags with the precious treasure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After the trials, everyone was exhausted and hungry. It was high time for a banquet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The banquet was over, but the day wasn\u2019t over yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we\u2019re all sports fans, we spent the rest of the day playing volleyball and bumper ball. Pushing everyone around and rolling all around was a hell of a fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meantime, the sun disappeared below the horizon, and it meant the end of our trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These \u201cFort Boyard\u201d challenges didn\u2019t seem too hard because that day, on August 2, 2015, we completed the hardest one\u201410 years on the e-commerce scene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d like to thank our customers for their support and loyalty to CS-Cart. We greatly appreciate it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon we\u2019ll get the official pics from our photographer and share them on our Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
