Making efficient deliveries & having well equipped drivers can play a key role in the overall success of your ice company. While on the road, every second counts, and having the right tools can make all of the difference. That’s why, at Cool Running Software, we designed our mobile app (CR Driver), to be user-friendly, streamline the invoicing process, and empower your drivers with everything they need for a successful day.
We are committed to evolving our app to the unique business needs of our customers. Each update is designed to build on what has already been accomplished, making sure that CR Driver continues to be the solution that ice companies turn to for their handheld & ice delivery operations.
We are thrilled to announce the release of Cool Running Driver 1.0.113, with a mix of new features and upgrades to existing ones, this update is designed to make your deliveries more efficient, provide added flexibility, and enhance accessibility for our international customers.
New Features In Version 1.0.113 (Video)
New Features In Version 1.0.113 (Explanation)
1. Improved Display For Route Selection Screen
Drivers can now view all scheduled routes for the day, including which ones have been logged into and by whom.
Benefit: Enhances coordination with other drivers & reduces confusion in route assignments
2. Easier to use “Delivery Type” selection
Replaced the dropdown menu for delivery types (Standard Delivery, No Delivery Needed, Refused Delivery, Service Call) with a one-click selection system.
Drivers can still go back when they make a mistake & change their selection using the previously used dropdown menu.
Benefit: Speed up the invoicing process & reduce errors when moving fast through the app
3. Print Invoice Recipients In a Language Other Than Your Operating Language
Drivers can now print receipts in languages other than English.
Drivers will have the ability to operate the app in their preferred language & print receipts in the language of the customer.
Ex: A driver uses the app in Spanish but prints their receipts for customers in English.
Benefit: Improves usability for non-English-speaking drivers and enhances customer communication.
*Languages Available: English, Spanish, French & German With More Available Upon Request

4. Restrict Sales to Loaded Inventory (System Setting)
When “Yes” is selected, drivers will not be able to process sales if the sales volume exceeds the inventory loaded onto their truck in the app.
How To Find This Setting: Admin -> Settings -> Mobile Devices
Benefit: Ensures accurate inventory tracking and prevents overselling, promoting accountability among your drivers.
5. “Mark For Deletion” When Logged Into Route
Drivers can now mark incorrect sales for deletion during their shift, automatically restoring inventory and logging the adjustment in the end-of-day reconciliation report.
Previously, drivers could only “mark for deletion” at the end of their day when they were making a reconcile report.
Benefit: Simplifies the correction of manual errors and maintains clean inventory records throughout the day.
6. Allow Product Returns (System Settings)
A new server setting allows administrators to enable or disable the ability for drivers to process product returns on customer invoices.
How To Find This Setting: Admin -> Settings -> Mobile Devices
Benefit: Provides greater control over return policies and reduces unauthorized or unnecessary returns.
Summary of Version 1.0.113
The December update to the Cool Running Driver App was designed with two key goals in mind: to make your drivers’ days on the road easier and to provide you, as an ice business owner, the flexibility needed to effectively manage your delivery drivers. Every tool in our delivery app—both the new features and those already in place—have been carefully crafted to integrate seamlessly into the rest of the tools available in Cool Running Software.
