For commercial ice plants

Run the day from the plant, not a spreadsheet.

Stores tell you what is left in the cooler. You put each stop on a truck. The driver works the run. The weather tells you when a normal Tuesday is about to get busy.

Saturday is warm. Expect about a third more ice than a typical day.

One loop, from the cooler to the truck.

01

A store says what is left

The cooler has a link. The manager enters what is still in it. No account, no phone call.

02

The stop needs a truck

That restock lands on the day it is due. It stays unplaced until you put it on a run.

03

You build the manifest

Standing stops are already there. You add the phone-in, assign the driver, and send the truck out.

04

Weather speaks up first

A hot Saturday is not a surprise. The board shows the bump before you load the truck.

FleetIce

The plant runs the day.

The owner sees who is driving, which stop is next, and what still needs a truck. Most plants are one person taking the order, building tomorrow, and often driving it.

BuyIce

The store just reports.

Each location keeps one link. When the cooler is low, they say what is left. They see that ice is coming. Stores that are fine stay quiet.
