The Ice Butcher: A custom operations platform for a Florida ice sculpture studio
The brief

What The Ice Butcher needed.

The Ice Butcher (formerly Sculptured Ice Occasions) carves custom sculptures, luges and logo cocktail ice for hotels, resorts and events across Florida. Every order passes through design, the warehouse, logistics and sales before it reaches an event.

They needed one system where each department does its part of the job, and a premium way to present curated collections to hotel clients and turn interest into quote requests.

What we built

The product, feature by feature.

  1. 01

    Role-based staff dashboard

    One login portal with seven roles: Admin, Design Manager, Logistics, Warehouse Manager, Sales Partner, Payroll & Finance and Employee. Each role sees the tools for its own job.

  2. 02

    Design management

    Design managers run design projects, review submissions and coordinate the design team.

  3. 03

    Logistics and warehouse

    Logistics handles customer orders, tracks deliveries and manages fulfilment. The warehouse manages inventory and stock levels.

  4. 04

    Sales and finance

    Sales partners track their activity, performance and customer relationships. Payroll and finance have their own portal.

  5. 05

    Employee self-service

    Staff sign in with a password or a 4-digit PIN to see their hours, pay and schedule and to request time off.

  6. 06

    Luxury collection pages

    Branded showcase pages for hospitality clients such as Marriott and The Boca Raton, each a curated collection of logo cubes, mini showpieces and ice ware.

  7. 07

    Seasonal store with quotes

    Themed seasonal collections with a theme and colour switcher and a request-a-quote form, so browsing turns straight into a lead.
