Quakes Ice Creamery

Quakes started as a beloved Ocean Springs scoop shop and grew into a regional brand with wholesale momentum toward the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Ice cream is fun. Ingredient tracking, vendor chaos, and government reporting are not. They needed systems that could grow without turning into spreadsheet theater.

Ice cream is fun. Spreadsheets for ingredients and government reporting are not. We built the systems so growth didn't turn into homework.

The awkward part

What Wasn't Working

Growth is great until the back office starts screaming. As Quakes expanded past one storefront, they ran into: • Ingredient tracking that got harder every month • Multi-vendor coordination by hope and email • Government reporting that ate time • Inventory across scaling operations • Manual systems that don't scale politely They didn't just need a prettier website. They needed operational backbone so growth didn't invent new headaches.

What we did

How We Fixed It

We built the front door and the engine room.

A cleaner digital front
  • Web app access for the team
  • Retail and event inquiries that don't land in a jumble
  • A digital presence that can grow with the brand
  • Foundation for e-commerce when they're ready

Internal chaos got a home, and customers got a clearer path in.

Custom ops software
  • Ingredient tracking built for how they actually work
  • Inventory that keeps up with distribution
  • Vendor data that isn't tribal knowledge
  • Reporting that makes government paperwork less painful
  • One dashboard instead of a spreadsheet graveyard

Less admin friction, more clarity when compliance comes knocking.

The good news

What Changed

  • Ingredients and vendors visible in one place
  • Reporting that doesn't require a weekend
  • Less admin drag as distribution grows
  • A foundation that can stretch toward national scale
  • Storefront charm with supply-chain seriousness behind it
They can keep scooping joy up front while the systems quietly carry the growth.

In plain English

The Difference You Can Feel

Compliance without the panic

Reporting rides structured data instead of last-minute hunts.

Ingredients and vendors live in one system.

Ready to grow

Architecture built for regional-to-national, not just this season.

Fewer spreadsheets

Manual tracking got replaced with software that behaves.
