Do you have questions about your development or your brand organization and management? Using franchise management software can be helpful.
The franchise model requires you to be in constant contact with your franchisees while allowing them autonomy. With different tools, it can be complex to exchange information simply and quickly. By using multiple tools, information can get lost, and we lack efficiency because we need to be able to complete and compile multiple files quickly. Similarly, how can we communicate all the information to the right person and ensure that they have received it? In the same vein, using multiple tools can be complex and time-consuming for the franchisor, who may wonder where to look for information and which communication channel to use.
As you can see, in order to avoid wasting money and time, it is necessary to centralize all actions in one single place. Which solution(s) should be used? What are the advantages?
To answer all these questions, it is best to use franchise management software. There are two types of franchise management software: “traditional” software, which is installed on your computer like office software, and cloud-based software, which is accessible from any computer with an internet connection. (such as Microsoft Office)& and SaaS software (Software As A Service) which are available from any computer and have the advantage of being easy to use and updated daily. This type of software is not intended to replace your business software, such as your cash register system, but rather to complement it and play a central role in monitoring your daily activities and those of your franchise network.
There are many reasons for using it, but let's go over the main ones:
The benefits
A real time saver
Using an all-in-one solution with comprehensive settings will allow you to be efficient and save time every day. Sending emails, transmitting information/documents, your visit reports, your reports... Everything can be done in just a few clicks from a single platform. There is therefore no longer any need to use multiple tools.
Centralization of your data and improved monitoring
Using a platform as your main anchor point is an advantage, as it guarantees better tracking: the origin of your candidates (where they come from), your KPIs, your exchanges, the consultation of your documents, etc.
Having all your data centralized also helps you comply with legal requirements. By tracking exchanges and documents sent, you can prove compliance with regulations in the event of a dispute with the franchisor or in the event of an audit.
Guaranteed savings
Of course, the savings depend on the solution you choose, as rates vary considerably, ranging from single to triple. However, the advantage of using a single platform such as Cerca ex Franchise On Cloud is that it allows you to track your expenses accurately and use, and therefore pay for, only what you need. There is no need to use multiple tools if you only use a few features in each of them.
