Franchise Software System FAQ: 5 Beginner Questions Answered
Are you looking to virtualize your franchise?
Today’s post runs down 5 beginner questions about implementing franchise software systems to start you on your learning journey.
What Is A Franchise Software System?
Simply put, a franchise software system is a collection of cloud-based tools used to manage operations and marketing, collect and analyze data, and generate business for your franchise.
It can be helpful to think of a franchise software system as traditional retail management software, only with executive-level capacities and more franchise-specific features. Thus, the typical franchise software system includes point of sale (POS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Sales Order Management, Inventory Management, Purchasing & Receiving, Reporting, and data-driven Dashboard applications.
In addition to these features, most franchise software systems include specialized modules for franchise development, performance, and support, along with a private intranet and internal messaging system.
The FranchiseSoft franchise software system is made up of several modules, including:
- Franchise development
- Franchise performance
- Field service management
- Marketing
- Employee management
- Franchise management
