Franchising Evolves With Insights, Business Planning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
As the International Franchise Association (IFA) 2020 opens this year in Orlando, thousands of franchising executives are exploring ways to give their franchisees the competitive edge in the marketplace. Franchisors are embracing evidence-based tools helping them reach new heights in both growth and satisfaction scores.
With Franchise Business Plans, the Franchise Business Coach (FBC) and franchisee work together in a concrete and trackable way.
FranchiseBlast pioneered Franchisee Scorecards to the marketplace two years ago. Scorecards help aggregate and benchmark key performance indicators from disparate data sources. They help franchises focus on what matters without having to login to many systems. Today, adoption of this practice and of the platform is accelerating at a fast pace.
