We began from the belief that food safety should be simple.
Icicle ERP was developed in partnership with food industry experts and through feedback from the Icicle Community.
Today, our complete end-to-end solution for food manufacturers evolves to meet the changing needs of our customers to make business more profitable.
Together, we shape the future of food production.
This Is Our Story
Back in 2010, Icicle creator Steven Burton walked into the facility of a poultry processor without knowing that he would meet a problem that would occupy him for the next decade and more. He wasn’t there as a member of the food industry, but as a data architecture expert developing software for unique industries like energy, education, and healthcare.
When he saw a room filled with rows and rows of thick binders, he was shocked to find that food safety compliance was still mostly paper-based, even in 2010.

From a data management perspective, this was a problem.
Steve knew from first-hand experience the importance of food safety – not only had he had food poisoning himself, but two of his children are immuno-compromised and vulnerable to foodborne illness.
How could the food industry maintain the necessary standards for data when the key information was lying in a room of dusty paper documents?

How could the food industry maintain the necessary standards for data when the key information was lying in a room of dusty paper documents?
After some thought and consultation, Steve locked himself in a room with three well-respected food safety consultants and, three years later, emerged with the beginnings of the Icicle food ERP system.
Designed with food safety at its heart, Icicle began as a tool for automating food safety procedures and documentation.

But as time went on, and Icicle users had more and more ideas for Steve, the software began to grow.
Food safety turned out to be fertile ground for building an ERP system that covers the entire food production process, intelligently extending into traceability, inventory and warehouse management, supplier management, maintenance management, and more.
With a strong background in data architecture, it was just a short leap to offer even more value with data analytics, reporting tools, and smart automation features.
