Lead distribution
Leads from national campaigns reach the right franchisee by territory or zip code, with corporate able to see response time.
Franchise CRM
A CRM Architecture Built for Franchisors
A franchise CRM has to do two jobs at once: give corporate visibility and control, and give each franchisee a system they can actually run their location on. Most CRMs are built for one team — not a network.

What makes franchise CRM different?
A standard CRM assumes one company, one team, one process.
Franchising breaks those assumptions. The brand sets the standards, but franchisees own the customer relationship day to day — and the CRM has to reflect both.

Franchisee onboarding
A new franchisee receives a working CRM on day one: pipelines, templates, automations and training — not an empty account.
Data ownership
Agree upfront who owns customer data, what franchisees can export and what happens when a location transfers or closes.
