Franchise Management Software
We have worked with some of the biggest franchisors in the World to develop our franchise management solution, which we call DashcomFR
DashcomFR is a complete solution for franchisors, providing one platform for all your franchise needs, starting with the capture of franchise enquiries and leading on to operational matters. The system is module based, meaning each module can be added, removed or tailored, making DashcomFR a truly unique and bespoke system, ensuring it perfectly fits the needs of your business.
Franchisee Sales
Franchisors typically host an enquiry form on their website or on a third party platform. Upon completion, DashcomFR can capture the data from the form, create a portal log in for the potential franchisee (where they can review marketing materials and communicate with the relevant franchisor personnel) and creates a sales lead and follow up tasks for the franchise sales team.
This part of the process can be tailored to fit the franchisors process flow and methodology.
DashcomFR will also generate the franchise and other legal agreements and will be the platform, alongside DocuSign, used to facilitated signatures at the appropriate time. Our built in completion gene will generate a completion checklist ensuring that all required initial steps in relation to a new franchisee are completed.
