Owner & Creator of Cool Running Software
Tony Dickson - Retired Iceman (1990 - 2020)
Joining The Family Business
In 1991, I joined my family business, Olmsted Ice. At that time we were a 6 truck, 40 ton operation with no computer in our office. After years of making routes by hand and dealing with loads of paperwork, we knew that we needed to modernize and automate our operations.
The Search for a Solution
We looked into many solutions to help our business become more efficient but could not find a provider who understood the unique challenges of owning an ice company. We needed something that would help us manage our growing customer list, sync our daily sales with an accounting software and give us the flexibility we needed to deal with the seasonal change in product demand.
Cool Running is Born
After failing to find a solution that could meet our needs, we decided to create our own inhouse solution. In 2004, Cool Running Software was born, as a route management and invoicing software optimized for the ice industry. Finally, having obtained the needed control over our ice business, we were poised for growth.
Transformation & Growth
The success of implementing Cool Running was evident, we saw our business grow to be a 120 ton, 16 truck operation with 1000 merchandisers spread throughout Northeast Ohio. In 2024, Our goal is to bring the benefits that Cool Running has to offer to every Ice company looking to scale and ultimately make their business as efficient and effective as possible.
