Designing a Comprehensive Franchise Company Computer System


One of the most important tools for managing franchised company needs is a computer system. system must integrate with all the franchised outlets and also be able to interface with the Corporate HQ computer system. There are many companies that are already set up a specialty of IT systems for franchisors, but much of the off the shelf system will need modification. Be assured that when you talk with software vendors to make sure that you get what you want and do not just fall for the sales approach from them tell you what you need? After all, how on earth would they know? Design and / or securing the computer system will require some advance planning thought on your part.

Under the pre-planning exercise I went through in a structured format that will help you determine your own needs. Each company is different and you need to determine what you want, what you want May in the future and make your system scalable and able to handle feature creep as it grows. Probably you should print this outline and modify it to fit your needs, then a large drawing pad and pull from your future system. This will help when taking on software consultants. Be careful not to take a lot of software consultants advice about what you will need, but to listen very carefully their ability to trust and what you can envision. Think about it, this is one of the most important decisions of new franchise founder has to make.
