5 Reasons to Build Custom Franchise Software

Sponsored Content provided by Jessie Powell - CEO, Wide Open Tech

Having a robust franchise management software is often required in order to scale your growing franchise business to the next level. But it can be hard to determine if and when to build your own custom franchise software, or if you should continue using an out-of-the-box solution.

In this article, we will discuss 5 reasons why you should build your own custom franchise management software.
 

Custom Franchise Software Simplifies Your Operations

A well-built franchise management software can help simplify your franchise operations significantly. By having all of your data in one place and being able to manage everything from a central location, you can save a lot of time and energy.

Additionally, a good franchise management software will automate a lot of the tasks that are required to run a franchise business, including running location-by-location reports, managing invoices and contracts, and reviewing location-specific employee information.

 

When You Build It, You Own It

Another great benefit of building your own franchise software is that you own the code. When you work with a development team to build your franchise management software, you own the final product. This means that you don’t have to worry about licensing fees or working with a third-party vendor.
 

You Can Fully Customize Reporting Features

When you build your own franchise management software, you have the ability to design and develop customized reports that meet your specific needs. This means that you can track data such as sales, profits, employee productivity, customer satisfaction levels, and more.

Having this level of detailed information at your fingertips can help you make better strategic decisions for the future growth of your franchise business. Off-the-shelf franchise software solutions often come with pre-made reports or limited reporting capabilities, and often include a bunch of “bloat features” that you have to pay for, but don’t necessarily use.
 

You Can Integrate Whatever You Want

When you build your own franchise management software, you have the ability to integrate any system with it that you want. This means that if you currently use or want to start using a specific CRM, accounting software, or HR system, you can do so without any issue.

Off-the-shelf franchise software solutions often come with limited integration capabilities and/or require that you purchase additional modules in order to get the full functionality of the software. With a custom franchise management software solution, all of your systems will be integrated into one cohesive platform, making data entry and retrieval much simpler and faster.
 

Custom Franchise Software Lowers Ongoing Costs

With a custom franchise management software solution, you will only have to pay for the cost of development, hosting, and maintenance (as needed). Additionally, because the software is built specifically for your business, it will be much easier to maintain and update as your franchise grows.

Custom software is often more affordable in the long run than out-of-the-box solutions. This is because you only pay for the features that you need, and there are no additional costs associated with using the software (such as per-user fees, location fees, or feature activation fees).
