In our experience no one system has the same requirements, and we like to provide a solution that suits the franchise business. Our customised modules cover the franchisee journey, which we call ROME. This stands for Recruitment, Onboarding, Management and Exit. The RO and E are core to all franchise businesses and is broadly the same for each. The key to the running of the franchise and ensuring franchisees follow the system is the M which differs depending on the type of franchise. There are also aspects within this area that are key to any business such as finance, reporting, compliance and marketing - but there are also elements that depend on the type of franchise such as job scheduling, rotas, vehicle management, class management, online booking, ordering and payments, automated quotes, mobile apps and much, much more.
