Franchising
Growing success one location at a time.
The Tough Reality
Need for fully developed systems
Regional Regulations
Communication between HQ and locations
Established systems
Many franchisors do not have concrete systems to support the franchisees, leading to franchise failure. Established systems, solid branding, and overall infrastructure where the franchisor is in control to lead the franchisee are essential.
In franchising, the roadmap to success begins with the franchisor being fully developed and equipped with the knowledge needed to scale.
The franchisor needs information and knowledge about hiring practices, internal systems, competition, location intelligence and other resources to support the future franchisee.
Proximity can receive data from many sources and sort it in an ease-to-view location-based approach. The single source of truth platform will combine all the separate systems to create a knowledge-filled environment for the user. Franchisors and franchisees can access policies, best practices, insights into location placement and training as needed.
The Proximity platform ensures that the franchise is equipped with the information to succeed.
Due to the vast number of franchise industry sectors, the data is scarce and might not be relevant. Proximity will help you collect the information that will lead your franchisees to efficient and stable operation.
Regulations
Regulations are important factors to be tracked for national and international organizations alike. As the franchisees take hold of new locations, they must follow the company guidelines and regional regulations. For instance, the Fair Workweek laws in certain states in the US. These different regulations can pose hidden complications at all stages of franchise ownership and are critical to success.
Proximity can hold and provide insights into regulatory data, whether internal or external. Once stored, this is a resource to provide value to future locations to minimize risks. Quick access to policies, reports and other documentation for each location assures that the franchise is running at full throttle. Insight into future maintenance or site issues gives a proactive approach to preventative measures, saving time and money.
Communication
Communication channels between the franchisees and the franchisors are essential. A franchisor needs the ability to provide the locations with processes, systems, training and support at the right time. On the other side, the franchisee should be able to ask for support and have a full view of the information to make the operational day-to-day successful. This symbiotic relationship is the key to a successful operation.
Proximity with alerts, notifications, and location intelligence provides a perfect way for both parties to deliver results. Sending in-app and email notifications for a quick issue or question resolution or providing data and insights for improvements necessary to take locations to the next level. Increased communication brings more coordination and productivity into the teams, saving time and lowering frustrations. These impacts go beyond the internal teams and stretch over the customer base, increasing their satisfaction.
