Cool Running Software

The Pricing Manager launch is complete.

On June 1, we launched a brand new way to manage pricing inside Cool Running Software. Two weeks later, ice companies are managing their pricing with more flexibility and oversight than the old tier system ever allowed.

But we don't just launch software and walk away. Here's what we built to support our customers through this launch:

📺 Two live training sessions (43 min and 22 min)
🎬 9 focused tutorial videos
📖 One complete written guide
📧 Direct one-on-one help anytime

This is how Cool Running Software supports our customers. Live sessions with the team. In-depth videos. Written guides. Direct help whenever needed. It's the standard for every new feature we ship.

📅Live Training is Tomorrow.

The Pricing Manager has been live for two days. Tomorrow, June 4 at 2:00 PM ET, we're walking through the tool together with anyone who can make it. If June 4 doesn't work, June 11 covers the same material.

Tony's going to walk through the new tool, answer your questions live, and show you exactly how your pricing carried over.

Come with specific questions. The more specific, the more you'll walk away with.

Both sessions cover the same material. Register for whichever date works for you, or both if you want to make sure you catch one.

Join us for a live walkthrough of the new Pricing Manager in Cool Running Software. In this session, we'll walk you through the new tool, show you how your existing pricing carries over, and answer any questions you have before you start using it.

✅We just launched the Pricing Manager.

For years, ice companies have had to choose between rigid pricing packages or messy tier-and-override systems. Both work. Neither has ever been great.

So we built something different.

The Pricing Manager replaces both with named price points that match how your business actually works. Wholesale, Contract, Events & Catering, Emergency Ice, whatever you need. You manage every product, every price, and every location from one screen.

A fuel surcharge that used to mean an afternoon of clicking now takes about thirty seconds.

The full guide is live now, with 10 step by step training videos, real workflows, and everything you need to see it in action.
