Franchise360 · Shaped to fit
Start on the standard setup. Change what your network needs changed.
Most franchise software asks you to run your network the way the software works. Franchise360 is built the other way round. Its settings cover most of what networks ask for. Where yours does something the settings can't, we change the system, and where it needs a part that doesn't exist yet, we build it.
How it works
Three steps, and the first one is a conversation.
1
Tell us how your network runs
How franchisees are onboarded, what they sell, how fees are worked out, what head office needs to see. We show you the standard setup against that and say where it fits and where it doesn't.
2
Start on the standard setup
Your own hosted instance, your franchises and users, your services and prices. Running on it for a while shows which parts rub.
3
Change the parts that rub, or build what's missing
A changed fee rule or a whole new module, each piece of work is scoped, priced and agreed before it starts. Once built, it is part of your system, hosted and supported like the rest.
What usually gets shaped
The same half-dozen things, in different networks.
Twenty years of UK franchise networks have taught us where a franchise agreement goes beyond what settings can do. We keep the standard setup covering most cases rather than every case, because a system that tries to do everything becomes a mess. The genuinely unusual gets built. This is the usual list, not the limit: if your network needs something that isn't here, ask.
- Fee rules
- A rule the fee settings can't express: rates by age of franchise, minimums, exemptions, a marketing fund collected alongside.
- Onboarding stages
- Stages or checks the standard ones don't cover, with the documents your operations manual asks for.
- Reports
- A report the standard set doesn't have: the figures your board, bank or franchisee council ask for, laid out the way they expect.
- Fields and forms
- The details your sector records that a generic system has no field for.
- Whole new modules
- Parts of the system built from scratch for how your network operates: class bookings for education, memberships for fitness, project billing for professional services, stock for a product network.
- Connections to what you already use
- Accounts packages, payment providers and the website your leads arrive from, so nothing is typed twice.
Who it's for
Networks that already know how they want to work.
- Already franchising, two to twenty units
- You know what is particular about your network, and your current software or spreadsheet makes you work round it. Start standard, then change the two or three things that matter.
- Around fifty franchises or more
- The same route, often with more to shape because how each franchisee works is the brand difference. A demo first, then the per-franchise price, development, support and hosting agreed as one package.
- Just starting to franchise?
- Start on the standard setup and don't pay for changes yet. Until a few franchisees are running, nobody knows what needs changing.
What stays the same, whatever we change
- It's still one system. Your changes sit inside Franchise360.
- Hosted and run by us. Your own instance, backed up and kept up to date.
- Supported by the people who built it. Phone support for head office and franchisees.
- Priced before it starts. Every piece of work agreed in writing.
Tell us the thing your network does that no software has fitted yet.
We've probably built something like it before. If we haven't, we'll say so.
