The CRM for your trade
The CRM built for ice cream makers
Without Standin
In peak summer the counter never stops. An event planner wants tubs for a wedding and the request gets lost in the heat.
With Standin
Standin builds a CRM made for ice cream makers: your orders, your quotes and your deposits, in your own words. When requests pile up, it answers them and prepares the file, so you stop losing an order just because you replied too late.
Free plan, no credit card required.

Built for how ice cream makers really work
Ordinary client-tracking software is designed for salespeople. For ice cream makers, it misses the point: you are not running a sales funnel, you are running orders, deposits and deadlines. Standin starts from your trade and sets up the steps and fields that actually matter, like "Type of order" or "Flavors".
The copilot takes over when your hands are full. It reads your emails and messages, answers everyday questions in your tone, and fills in the client's file before you have even reached for your phone. You review, you approve, and nothing is sent without your agreement.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Standin answers
Can I follow orders for an event?
Yes. The record keeps the date, the quantity, the flavors and the delivery. A wedding ordered in March for July does not get lost.
Can I handle the seasonal rush?
The copilot answers each inquiry, asks the date and the quantity, and leaves you ready records instead of a full voicemail.
Can I note allergies and dietary requirements?
They go in the record's notepad, attached to the order. You reread them when you produce, not from memory.
Is Standin a good fit for ice cream makers?
Yes. You describe your work in a few sentences and Standin builds a CRM made for ice cream makers: your stages, your fields, your words, not a generic template.
What information does Standin track for ice cream makers?
Your CRM tracks what matters in your trade, for example "Type of order", "Flavors" or "Quantity". You can add, rename or remove any field at any time.
How does the copilot answer my clients while I work?
It reads your emails and messages, drafts a reply in your tone and updates the file. You approve before it goes out, or you turn on auto-send if you prefer.
Is it free?
You start for free: you create your CRM and try the copilot without paying.
Do I stay in control of what is sent to my clients?
Yes. The copilot drafts the replies, but nothing is sent without your approval, unless you turn on auto-send yourself.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Standin runs in your browser, on your computer or your phone. There is nothing to install.
How long does it take to get started?
A few minutes. Answer a few questions about your trade and your CRM is ready, already seeded with example records.
