Chimes helps customers find nearby ice cream vans and receive alerts when a favourite vendor enters their chosen area. Set a postcode and radius to create a geofence circle, then Chimes notifies you when an active vendor comes close. You can open the map to see the vendor location and quickly decide whether to head out and buy. Vendors can manage their display name, contact details, icon, and privacy settings so customers only see and hear about them when they are actively trading. Chimes is designed to make local van discovery simple, timely, and easy to use for both customers and vendors.
