New Technology Suite

• ServiceMinder: A comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) platform designed specifically for home service franchises. With features such as appointment scheduling, dispatching, marketing tracking, invoicing and reporting, franchisees can efficiently manage their businesses from anywhere. The mobile-friendly platform enhances operational efficiency and provides valuable business insights.

By streamlining text-based customer interactions and collecting authentic online reviews on platforms like Google and Facebook, Podium boosts local SEO rankings, drives leads and ensures a consistent reputation management strategy across all locations.
• LiveStorage: An interactive 3D design platform tailored to the closet and storage industry. This tool enables franchisees to create and modify custom storage solutions in real time, allowing homeowners to see designs come to life during consultations. With its intuitive point-and-click interface, LiveStorage reduces the learning curve for franchisees while improving sales efficiency and closing rates through on-the-spot design adjustments and accurate pricing.
