Alsies, a tech-enabled ice cream truck franchise, has been awarded a U.S. patent for its proprietary technology platform and proximity-based delivery system, according to a press release.

The patented technology is central to Alsies' mobile app, which allows customers to track trucks in real time, receive push notifications when a truck is nearby and request a truck to their location. The company also uses a platform that sends neighborhood-based text alerts to inform customers of a truck's arrival.

The company aims to modernize the traditional ice cream truck business. "We've reimagined the ice cream truck experience, blending nostalgia with technology to revive this beloved tradition and spread happiness," Travis Kososki, founder and CEO of Alsies, said in the release.

In addition to enhancing the customer experience, Alsies' platform provides franchise partners with tools for managing routes, sales and operations. The company is currently offering franchise opportunities nationwide.
