Franchise management
Pick "Franchise network" when you set up PartnersWatch and the console switches to franchise mode: partners become franchisees, commissions become royalties, and the location, territory, royalty, and audit modules turn on. Your franchisees get a branded portal where they report sales, pay invoices, and close out audit findings.
Franchise ops run on a royalty spreadsheet, a shared drive, and an inspection binder
Franchise agreements sit in a folder, sales reports arrive by email in five formats, royalty invoices are built by hand each month, and audit findings live on paper. Nobody can answer a simple question like "which franchisees are late, and which locations failed their last inspection?" without a day of digging.
The flow, end to end
Set up
Choose the Franchise network business type. Terminology and modules are configured for you.
Sign
Approve a franchisee, send the agreement from the legal library, and charge the initial fee on signing.
Open
Add their locations to the hierarchy and move each one through planned, opening, and open.
Run
Franchisees report sales, royalties invoice themselves, and audits keep brand standards visible.
What's in the box
Business type at setup
Choose Franchise network and the right modules switch on. You can turn any module on or off later.
Your terminology
The console and portal say Franchisee, Location, and Royalty instead of Partner, Site, and Commission.
Franchisee roster
Every franchisee with its agreement, renewal date, locations, contacts, and current royalty standing.
Agreements & disclosure docs
Franchise agreements and operations manuals generated from templates and sent for signature from the legal library.
Royalties & recurring fees
Percent-of-sales royalties, a brand fund, fixed tech fees, and the initial franchise fee, invoiced automatically.
Franchisee portal
Each franchisee works from a branded portal: submit sales reports, see invoices, download brand assets, fix audit findings.
One platform, set up for the way your network works
PartnersWatch is purpose-built for SaaS resellers and agencies, and the same core runs other networks. The business type you pick at setup (SaaS resellers & agencies, franchise, multi-location, distribution, referral, brokerage, education, marketplace, retail brand, or custom) decides which modules are on and what things are called. Nothing is forked: it is the same event bus, ledger, portal, and API.
- ✓Ten business types, plus custom
- ✓Per-workspace terminology for partners, sites, and payouts
- ✓Modules can be switched on or off at any time
Agreement, locations, fees, and standards on one record
A franchisee record holds the signed agreement and its renewal date, every location they operate, the fee rules that apply to them, their reporting history, and their audit results. Events from each of those (a late report, a failed audit, an agreement nearing renewal) can start a playbook.
- ✓Agreement renewal dates feed reminders and renewal journeys
- ✓Late reports and failed audits are events you can automate
- ✓Each franchisee only ever sees their own locations and invoices
