    Franchisors can view the entire group and drill down to individual franchisee data so you can maintain visibility across all operations. See how the whole business is performing and calculate commissions and franchise fees quickly and accurately from real-time data - reducing the report-to-pay fee cycle and improving cash flow.

    Franchisee data is kept secure and private from other franchisees whilst still enjoying all the benefits of a common franchise system and support. Maintain consistency, efficiency and data intelligence across the group.

    Give franchisees state of the art online support, web presence and resource facilities
