CRM for Franchises

Managing multiple locations, franchisees, and customer relationships can quickly become complicated. A CRM built around your franchise model gives head office the visibility it needs while providing franchisees with the tools and flexibility to manage their own customers and sales. 

Hurdles we help you overcome

What's your biggest challenge as a franchise organisation?

Limited visibility across the franchise network

A CRM gives head office a centralised view of leads, customers, sales activity and performance across your entire franchise network. See what's happening at individual locations while retaining the bigger picture.

Inconsistent sales processes

Standardise your sales processes across every franchise location. Set up consistent pipelines, workflows and follow-up processes so franchisees have a proven framework to work from, while still allowing flexibility where needed.

Difficulty managing territories and franchises

Structure your CRM around your franchise model, with territories, locations and franchisees clearly defined. Use permissions and automated lead assignment to ensure the right people have access to the right information.

Centralised visibility

Head office can see customer records, leads, opportunities and sales activity across all franchise locations from one CRM. Dashboards and reporting give management a clear overview of performance across the network.

Standardise processes

Head office can create standard sales processes, automated workflows, email templates and data fields that every franchisee can use. Franchisees can then manage their own customers and day-to-day activities without losing the consistency head office needs.

Performance Reporting

Use sales pipelines, activity tracking and automated reports to monitor how each franchisee is performing. Head office can compare locations, identify gaps and see where additional support or training may be needed.

How UK franchise, Shuttercraft, found a CRM with enable.services
