It's summer, aka crunch time for ice cream men all across the country. Trucks need to be fully stocked because there's nothing worse than being in the middle of the busiest neighbourhood and realising you've run out of the top-selling ice cream. That is, unless, you're in the middle of the busiest neighbourhood when suddenly you realise that all of your ice cream has melted because your refrigeration unit stopped working. 

Does this sound like a nightmare situation to you? Let's take a little bit to explore the logistics behind the ice cream truck business, as well as the technology that can prevent such drama from happening. 

An ice cream man's promise 

When summer is in the swing of things it is the very important duty of the ice cream man to ensure the streets of every neighbourhood are well fed with all the frozen sweet treats they can handle. A good amount of an ice cream man's job is driving around looking for business.

You can't afford faulty equipment.

This means that there is not always a watchful eye on how the refrigeration in the back of the truck is doing. Unfortunately, anything can happen in this time, and we all know how sensitive ice cream is. Just a couple of minutes at the incorrect temperature and you've lost both ice cream and profit. 

When your business relies on the precise temperature of a refrigeration system, you can't afford faulty equipment. But there is a solution. 

Don't let ice cream melt because you don't have eyes on your refrigeration system. Don't let ice cream melt because you don't have eyes on your refrigeration system.
