How does franchise management software help a franchisee business?
Initially, franchising is a model of retail business that consists of two parties, the franchisor, and the franchisee. The franchisor allows the franchisee to use its brand name and business model, based on certain terms, conditions, and clauses included in the agreed revenue. Franchising is a very popular business model to increase your presence in the market especially in a region where foreign brand franchisees use.
Since this business model involves 2 parties, the involvement of independent organizations collaborating for the business can lead to complications and problems. Further, since the franchisor owns the business and wants to use your brand and products, he wants to manage the franchise with an overview. This is difficult if not handled properly. Enter – Franchise Management Software.
Let’s take a closer look at how franchise management software can fit into the retail business franchise model.
Franchise management software can be understood as a platform that collaborates between franchisors and franchisees as well as helps in increasing investment in both parties regarding various aspects of the business such as marketing, sales, branding, CRM, inventory management, reporting. , Operations etc. The software basically establishes business rules and procedures in a mutual agreement between the two parties. Using these processes and business rules as a basis, franchisors can grow their business by acquiring more franchises. Furthermore software with preset rules and procedures allows the franchisor to monitor performance based on real-time analytics and capture and store market data and trends for easy operations on franchisees as well as exercise control and for further analysis and bench-marking. Franchisee software on the other hand can be used to automate their business operations as well as track their business performance and provide necessary reports to the franchisor. Also, franchise management software can help connect multiple franchise sites through multiple communications.
Here are some things that franchise management software can do for your retail business:
List and supply chain management: A good franchise management software enables you to access inventory data in general to help you estimate inventory levels. Purchase orders can then be placed to replenish the stock. The software can help businesses track the supply chain process from order placement to stock replacement, allowing them to predict and mitigate the risks / problems that may arise in the process.
Customer Management: Customer loyalty and perception are crucial for every retail business and it depends on the quality of customer service in your franchise shop. A solid franchise management software assists customer relationship management such as customer registration, loyalty programs, customer information search, inventory appearance, customer feedback, and so on to attract and retain customers for a long time.
Process Management: A good franchise management software helps inspect your franchise stores below certain audit standards and checklists. If you have the ability to store historical information about your outlet, you can use that information as a benchmark for performance tracking and inspection. In addition, tracking sales data, employee data and performance, inventory data, and other important information can help you detect any discrepancies as well as strict control over processes and operations.
