FRANQ stores all information about all your franchisees and franchise stores. Your Marketing, Recruitment, operations, Compliance, and Support teams access up-to-date information from one central system. There is no need to use multiple applications to sync the franchisees data, and gone are the days when you are exchanging Excel sheets to distribute information between your teams (and waiting for manual updates to be actioned).

Some of these steps can be mandatory to ensure the completeness of the process.

Excel has a rich functionality for a standalone application. And that is what it is: a standalone application. You cannot:
- restrict information according to the roles
- share over cloud so that information is available to users according to their access
- track the changes, who made the changes
- create easily email alerts/notifications on tasks, actions
With FRANQ, you overcome all these challenges (and many more) with one universal application.
Yes, you absolutely can. FRANQ is a highly configurable solution and we encourage our clients to take the ownership and feel free to update the solution without our involvement. In fact, we train our clients on the solution and its areas that can be customised by client's team(s).
All data that is entered into FRANQ by you belongs to you. We do not have access to your system unless you choose to provide us the access. Even if we are provided access, we will not access your data without your approval.
FRANQ provides data import functionality via Excel files. QTECX Solutions team will provide you the templates to fill your data in and then you can upload the data yourself. We can provide assistance to you to make this task quicker for you.
Yes, FRANQ is a cloud-based solution. This helps us help you to keep your infrastructure and related costs and overheads down. Your team only needs a web-browser to use FRANQ.
FRANQ is hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud. Azure has implemented very tight security to ensure that their servers have 99.9% uptime and is capable of thwarting any outside attacks. Each user in your organisation will have their own login credentials and they will be able to access the data that the management has provided access to.
Yes, you can. When setting up users, you need to inform us on what areas users should access/not access. We can set security parameters according to the requirements and organisation hierarchy. E.g. if a NSW Territory Manager doesn't need to access QLD Territory Manager's territory data, this can be easily set up by QTECX team and maintained by you. Similarly, financial data can be restricted only to specific roles, if required.
FRANQ uses unique named user license model. This means each staff member that needs access to the system will have a license attached to him/her.
By design, FRANQ product licensing has been kept simple to not confuse our clients. We only provide the functionality that is required by the users (we do not believe in delivering and charging for the modules that will never be used by users). There are two types of licenses for FRANQ: Essential and Pro. Depending on your business requirements, some of the users will be assigned Essential license and some will have Pro.
