Time-Saving, Cost-Saving, Eco-Friendly Alternatives to Delivered Ice
Did you know that there are alternatives to delivered ice? As the costs of energy and fuel rise, the costs of delivered ice are rising too, and many businesses don’t know what alternatives are available.
Cost Efficiency
20lbs of ice from an Ice Merchant costs about 25 – 30 cents. The same 20 lb bag of delivered ice will cost $4-$5. With rising fuel costs, having an onsite ice vending unit can save you money now and well into the future.
Time – Savings
Having an Ice Merchant at your work site eliminates the time constraints of delivered ice, saving you and your employees valuable time. You don’t have to wait around for delivered ice—instead, you can fill a new bag every 10 seconds.
Eco – Friendly
The energy it takes to make ice, transport it, keep it frozen, and then store it at your location adds up quickly. Vended ice skips these energy-intensive steps and allows you to vend ice directly at your worksite.
Smartice Management
The remote monitoring program SmartIce allows you to watch your machine from and track performance from anywhere.

Case Study:
Southwest Airlines
Ice And Water On-Site Vending Machines Disrupt Delivered Ice Model
Rising costs, longer delivery windows, and shrinking bag size are just a few of the difficulties companies face when they opt for delivered ice to their work site. The direct-store-delivery ice model has been an industry norm for decades, but the process has proven to be costly and inefficient. These issues not only affect your business financially, but also disrupt day-to-day employee operations, team morale, timeliness, and your carbon footprint as an organization. That is why fortune 100 company Southwest Airlines has upgraded their ice operation to featuring state of the art, Ice House America machinery. Southwest is able to vend up to 1,000 plus ice vends daily in a quick, clean, and efficient manner. Ice house America’s Ice machines allow for on site ice production from local water sourcing, thereby eliminating unnecessary storage and shipping costs. This streamlined efficiency for one of the largest airlines in the world can be replicated at work sites of all sizes.
