FRM - Franchise Sales & Relations:
Everything revolves around the Franchisee/Franchisor relationship. It starts with managing the lead generation and sales process and then continues into document and communication management within the on-going relationship. Our "single integrated system" strategy revolves around this node. The FRM is the node as the entire relationship revolves around the agreement and the communication between the franchisee and the franchisor. Document Sharing Imagine being able to update and share a form with your entire company in seconds! Everyone needs access to various documents. Imagine being able to quickly upload a document to your Extranet and assign who has access to see the document with a few simple clicks of the mouse. Integration Manager Make sure all new franchisees receive the same integration support, guidance and steps. Integrating new franchisees quickly and efficiently is key to the success of a franchise system. An integration manager ensures that each step is tracked and each franchisee gets the same opportunities and service regardless of who is managing the integration.
Compliance Manager:
Tracking downloads, important dates and compliance status can be difficult. Leverage technology to establish your compliance process and communication templates that ensure consistency in your brand. A good compliance management system enables you to do the hard work of communicating the standards to your franchisees.
Automated Fee Collection:
Fee collection is fun for the first few franchises but with a growing system, the management of these tasks needs to be automated and standardized for both the franchisor and the franchisee. Your franchisees need to know the schedule and rules for collection and you need to know that the money is collected regardless of other circumstances.
Help Desk:
If you are a person, you have questions. A good help desk module will help you handle these questions quickly and will enable your franchisees to be able to get the information they need when they need it.
Training:
Initial and on-going training is important. Nothing facilitates great training more than the ability to multiply the number of ways a message can be shared and the audience receiving it. A good training manager will share courses as well as videos and other valuable training information. Franchisees often access this information at odd hours enabling them to grow at their pace.
Location Web Page Builder:
Even if you manage a single web portal for each location, it is valuable to enable each franchisee to have their own splash page or customized franchisee web page. Doing so gives them ownership in the overall process and enables better search engine optimization for their location.
Company Store:
Franchisees need stuff. A good company store will give them 24/7 access to the supplies they need on a daily basis or once in a while.
CRM - Customer Relations:
Customers are the key to making franchisees successful. Many franchise systems rely on their franchisees to generate the leads and service the customers. A franchisor can help greatly by providing strong customer relationship management infrastructure to their franchisees. This tool also gives the franchisor access to all the franchisees customer information.
Ad Builder:
Franchisees enjoy tinkering with their business. Giving them an on-line tool to create and send their own ads and messages to customer’s increases value to the franchisees. A good ad builder will also enable franchisees to customize marketing pieces and submit for printing and distribution.
Marketing/PR Manager:
Does a franchisee need a press release? Start with a template to quickly generate the vibe your franchisees need and that you want them to portray. Looking for just the right marketing or promotion to fit an upcoming season, no sweat. Log-in and you are only a few clicks away from checking those boxes.
Events & Reminders Manager:
Set-up, manage and communicate important dates, reminders and information quickly with a simply but effective events and reminders management application.
Electronic Disclosure of FDD:
The electronic disclosure process is simply mandatory in today's economy. It is the very most efficient way to document and share your agreement information with potential franchisees. Regardless of the hour, they can disclose themselves and quickly begin reviewing the details.
POS & QuickBooks Integration:
Connecting all locations' point of sale terminal to a single database is critical to retail based franchise systems. It is also a bonus to franchisees if this information can be automatically uploaded into their QuickBooks file. A high quality financial management application will include both of these and more valuable features.
Reports Manager:
Measure what you want to change. Add, remove and modify reports as your business grows and changes. Learn from the data. Read "Freakonomics" if you think the data doesn't always tell the truth...
Chat, Blogs & Social Networking:
Web 3.0 is upon us. We are social creatures and communicating within the on-line virtual environments with which we exist is vital. A good on-line communication management tool will enable your system to be able to communicate the important issues, the comedy and the personal stories effectively. |
