Quakes Trace, the Operational Software Solution to Scaling with Ease

Unified, custom operational software built to support retail, events, and national distribution growth.

Case Study

Quakes Ice Creamery

Quakes Ice Creamery began as a single storefront before growing into regional brand with strong retail momentum. As they expanded into wholesale and multi-vendor distribution, operational complexity increased.

Government reporting requirements, ingredient tracking, and vendor coordination demanded more than spreadsheets.

They needed structured digital systems to scale responsibly.

Salt Marsh delivered both the customer-facing front door and the operational infrastructure behind it.

From mixed platforms to one brand-aligned site — with forms, booking, and routing that scale.

The Challenge

The Problem

Growth introduces complexity. As Quakes expanded beyond a local storefront model, they faced: • Increasing ingredient tracking requirements • Multi-vendor coordination • Government reporting obligations • Inventory oversight across scaling operations • Disconnected manual tracking systems Without structured systems, growth creates administrative risk. The brand needed operational infrastructure — not just a website.
