Franchise Management Software for Growing Networks
Franchex is franchise management software for growing networks. Run franchisee compliance, multi-entity governance, and consolidated visibility across your entire network — on a flat monthly fee with no per-location pricing.
Who Is Franchex For?
Built for franchise networks who need centralised control, compliance tracking, and consolidated reporting across multiple locations — without per-location pricing that compounds as the network grows.
Food & Beverage Franchises
You're running a café, restaurant, or fast casual network across multiple locations and royalty calculation, brand compliance, and consolidated financial reporting are all handled manually or across disconnected systems. Automated royalty calculation, compliance tracking, and network-wide reporting run from one platform on a flat monthly fee.
Home Services Franchises
Your franchisees need to operate consistently across territory boundaries and brand standards — and keeping that consistent without a manual process requires systems that most franchise platforms charge enterprise prices for. Standardised compliance checklists, territory management, and document distribution keep every location on-brand without HQ getting involved in every decision.
Fitness Franchises
You're coordinating member management, class scheduling, and brand standards across multiple gym or studio locations — and you have no visibility into which locations are performing and which need support until it's too late. Performance benchmarking across the network identifies where to focus before problems compound.
Emerging & Mid-Market Networks
You've outgrown spreadsheets and manual processes but enterprise franchise platforms are built for networks ten times your size. Franchise cloud solutions built for networks of 5 to 50 locations — professional royalty management, compliance, and benchmarking at a price that works before you're a 100-location network.
Franchise Networks Outgrow Manual Processes Before They Can Afford Enterprise Software
- Royalty calculation done manually across locations — prone to errors and disputes
- Brand compliance tracked through spreadsheets or email — no audit trail
- No centralised visibility into which locations are performing and which are struggling
- Document distribution and policy updates managed ad hoc — no guarantee of adoption
- Enterprise franchise platforms priced for large networks, not emerging ones
Centralised Control Across Every Location
- HQ sets standards, workflows, and templates — franchisees operate within them automatically
- Configurable royalty rules with automated invoicing and payment tracking across the network
- Consolidated reporting and performance benchmarking from a single dashboard
- Compliance checklists and document distribution managed centrally — with completion tracking
- Flat monthly pricing regardless of how many locations are added

Common Scenarios
See how franchise networks have replaced enterprise tools and spreadsheets with Franchex.
45-Location Fast Casual Franchise Automates Royalty Calculation and Invoicing Across the Network
Scenario: A 45-location fast casual franchise managing royalty collection manually across the network, with significant time spent on calculations, invoicing, and follow-up each month.
Challenge: Royalty collection taking 2 weeks per cycle due to manual calculations and invoicing. Errors in calculations creating disputes with franchisees. No central view of payment status across the network.
Solution: Franchex with automated royalty calculation and invoicing. Rules configured once, invoices generated automatically. Payment status visible across all 45 locations in one dashboard.
Home Services Franchise Standardises Compliance Tracking Across 28 Locations
Scenario: A home cleaning franchise network managing brand standards compliance across 28 locations, previously using spreadsheets and email to track audit results.
Challenge: No consistent audit process across locations. Compliance issues identified weeks after they occurred. Admin team spending 60% of their time on manual reporting and follow-up.
Solution: Franchex with standardised compliance checklists and real-time monitoring. Issues flagged immediately. Franchisees self-submit compliance reports through their portal.
Fitness Franchise Identifies Underperforming Locations Before They Fall Further Behind
Scenario: A growing fitness franchise with 15 locations, unable to identify which locations were underperforming or why without manually compiling reports from each site.
Challenge: No consolidated view of location performance. Best practices from top-performing locations not being shared across the network. Underperforming locations not identified until too late.
Solution: Franchex with performance benchmarking across all 15 locations. Top performers identified and best practices distributed. Underperforming locations given targeted support.
When You Need More Than Franchise Management
A franchise management solution that grows with your network — add field service, fitness studio operations, or ecommerce on the same subscription.
Most franchise networks bolt together separate tools for operations, compliance, and billing as they grow. With Hykmah, the products you need are already on the same platform.
When you're ready for field service management (Operon), fitness studio operations (Fitstream), or e-commerce storefronts (Sellwise), they're already part of your Hykmah subscription. Same platform, same users, same data.
No new vendor. No migration. No integration project.
Unlike standalone franchise management tools, Franchex grows with your network.
