Replied August 2025 --- ### Ziebart Implementation Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Emily D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The team was very efficient and helpful throughout the entire process. We stayed on track from the very beginning because the FC team helped move us through implementation despite our team internally figuring things out. Very rarely did they not have an answer or solution to our problems and questions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Extremely helpful getting our new sales process into the system. As we started implementation we were creating a new process internally- the team was patient while we figured things out and helped bring different aspects to the journey to life. #### Cons I wish the backside or 'Settings' for Admin was easier to navigate. I also wish the 'Export' feature was similar. Although all the information is nice, I wish I could easier export a list of contacts, their basic information from [X inquiry date] to [Y inquiry date]. #### Reasons for switching to FranConnect Because FranConnect offers more features and integrations. #### Vendor response Thank you so much Emily for your thoughtful review and the 5-star rating! We're thrilled to hear that your implementation experience with FranConnect was smooth and that our team was able to support you effectively throughout the process. It's especially rewarding to know we could help bring your new sales process to life while you were shaping it internally. We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the Admin settings and Export functionality. Your insights are incredibly valuable, and we’ve shared them with our product team as we continue to enhance the platform’s usability and reporting capabilities. It’s been a pleasure partnering with Ziebart, and we look forward to supporting your continued success!

I think there were certain things I liked about franconnect but I think zoho is much more user friendly #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I liked the follow up process with leads and how we could set up specific categories for buckets to organize lead flow. #### Cons Not much flexibility to customize the program, automate texting with the crm system emails. Some of this might have changed now since I switched to zoho. --- ### FranConnect is an important tool, especially for new franchise owners - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jeffrey W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use it daily and with use i get more comfortable and familiar. It is easily navigable but would benefit from a bit of a redesign to improve the user interface. It is pretty quick with loading and downloading which is nice. I have not used it on an iPad or iPhone but would love to see an app for that #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I find value with FranConnect to keep me up to date with the National Support Center and the goings on with the franchise in general. Anytime I need to find marketing materials, all I have to do is search and typically they are there. If i need something created, there is a place for that too. I also like the fact that the site is secure and that I have to log back in after inactivity. Its a good way to keep proprietary info secure. #### Cons The interface is a bit old and dated looking. I would love a cleaned up front end with a better calendar and a better directory. I would like to see a map of franchisees and their territories. I would also like to sort franchisees by state and city separate. Please include the H.H. name in addition to the business name. As for the National Support center, an org chart with quick click to contact would be incredibly helpful. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear FranConnect helps you stay connected with the National Support Center and access marketing materials efficiently. I’m excited to share updates that address your suggestions: Mobile Apps – We offer native apps for iOS and Android, fully supporting iPads and iPhones with secure, on-the-go access. Enhanced UI – A redesigned interface improves navigation, calendar, and directory features for franchisee communication and engagement. Analytics/Visualizations – Our platform supports franchisee mapping, sorting by state/city, and org charts with quick contact—if your data is in FranConnect, we can help set this up. Frannie AI – Our Franchisee Support AI agent simplifies finding info, getting answers and managing operations tasks significantly easier. We’d love to connect you with our Customer Success team to ensure you’re getting the most out of these features. Feel free to reach out at products@franconnect.com.

Overall my experience with Franconnect has been positive. I always get a response when I need help and they do a great job of following up until a resolution is found. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I like most about Franconnect is it's versatility and customizability. There is almost always a solution or efficiency that can be found which will result in making our company stronger in one way or another. #### Cons The same thing that makes it great is also a pain. There is SOOO much that you can build out, and it's constantly getting upgraded. If you don't stay on top of it you will miss out on optimizations, and it's easy to run into walls if you don't fully understand how the back end is built and needs to be navigated. Their support is good, but with so many levers to check and a significant knowledge base to maintain, the solves rarely come same day. #### Vendor response Thank you for the thoughtful review, Ryan! It’s great to hear that FranConnect’s flexibility and customizability are delivering real value to your business. We understand the platform’s depth can be a lot to navigate, and we’re committed to making that experience as seamless and intuitive as possible. Your feedback helps us keep improving, and we’re grateful to have you as part of the FranConnect community! Replied July 2025 --- ### Helps keep our team organized, all in one place - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Zoraida R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Restaurants - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, using FranConnect for our needs has definitely been a learning curve for our team. We still frequently reach out to the support team for help, when needed. However, once everything was finally set up and we had a good foundation in place, it lead to a much more structured and organized way to access important information for our business, all in one place, by both internal corporate and external franchise users, if we so choose to. There are also a number of additional modules we can always look into in the future as our business grows and evolves, which is reassuring. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Our team likes how customizable the modules are and how easy it is to reach out to support when you're in a jam or just aren't sure where to go, what to do or how to find something. Their support team is very friendly and great with follow ups. #### Cons We find it's a little challenging to navigate and use. Not super user friendly for folks who have a) never used a platform like it and/or b) are used to simpler dashboards and programs (our team is very much G-Suite users where we feel FranConnect is reminiscent of Microsoft). #### Vendor response Thank you Zoraida for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience with FranConnect! We’re glad to hear that the platform has helped your team stay more organized and centralized, and that our support team has been a reliable resource during your onboarding and beyond. We understand that adapting to a new system can come with a learning curve, and we truly appreciate your patience and persistence. Your feedback about usability and navigation is incredibly valuable. We’re continuously working to improve the user experience. If there are specific areas where we can make things easier or more intuitive, we’d love to hear more. We’re also excited that you see potential in exploring additional modules as your business grows. We’re here to support you every step of the way. Thanks again for being part of the FranConnect community!

FranConnect is been great. The customization with reporting or using custom integrations has been great. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros FranConnect allows for a lot of customization when displaying links and allows us to pull many reports from one source. #### Cons The UX/UI can be a bit messy. Some of it feels dated and not current. But it's cosmetic fixes mostly. #### Vendor response Thank you Zachary for sharing your feedback and for being a FranConnect user for the past year! We’re thrilled to hear that the customization options and reporting capabilities have been helpful for your team—that’s exactly what we aim to deliver. We also truly appreciate your comments about the UX/UI.

So far my experience has been very positive. The system seems well organized and easy to learn, even as a newer user. It looks like it will be a helpful tool for managing franchise development and keeping everything centralized. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros FranConnect makes it easy to keep franchise information organized and in one place. The platform is straightforward to navigate and helps streamline communication and tracking during the franchise development process. #### Cons I’m still fairly new to the platform, so I haven’t run into any major issues yet. As I continue to use it more, I’ll probably have a better sense of areas that could be improved. --- ### Franchise Business Coach - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chuck R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very good, been almost 10 years now. I use the platform almost daily to record calls and meetings, topics discussed, etc. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It's a great platform for keeping everything handy and recorded as required by the Agreements. I can direct all of my owners to go there to see the current news, etc. #### Cons Documents section needs an Add button on the top of the list rather than the bottom of the list. This would make it much easier to upload new documents without scrolling all of the way down. #### Vendor response Thank you, Chuck, for your continued trust and loyalty over the past decade! We're thrilled that FranConnect supports your daily workflow and helps you stay organized. We're especially glad that the platform makes it easy for your owners to stay informed and connected. Your feedback about the Documents section is incredibly valuable—adding an upload button at the top is a great suggestion, and we’ve shared it with our product team.

Replied September 2025 --- ### Great option for franchises - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kyle D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very positive, all the necessary documents I need as a franchisee are housed in FranConnect. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It creates a hub for all your needs, including a Facebook-like newsfeed where franchisees can communicate with each other. #### Cons Nothing comes to mind, it works well for what it is. --- ### A Great Franchise Development Management System! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Program Development - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Essentially, our organization is using the FranConnect application to run our franchise development function. We have multiple, geographically dispersed franchise development professionals utilizing the system to manage their day-to-day activities. The FranConnect system allows for centrally managed controls while providing all the functionality franchise development professionals require to help candidates make informed decisions. The mobile app is pretty cool too! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The FranConnect application is all you need to manage the franchise development function. It is clear as you use the system, that all the functionality you need to manage your franchise development efforts has been built in. The system accepts leads from outside franchise consultant systems reducing the amount of manual entry required. The reporting system is robust. The email drip component of the application is loaded with functionality though at times, can be a bit confusing. However, once you get used to the campaign module, you're able to get things done quickly. Overall, a lot of capabilities in a relatively user-friendly system. #### Cons The dislikes are few. The primary dislike is that at times, the user has to request additional help when first using some of the functionality of the system. Once you get a better sense of how specific tasks are done, the system becomes much easier to navigate. FranConnect bridges the gap with excellent technical support especially during the implementation stage. We worked with two customer reps. and both were extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and really knew their stuff. --- ### Ok software for managing your Franchise - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Hard to say, not many positives for the product. Best pro of the product would have to be the ability to keep all of the Franchise related documents/files in one place so our users could see it. Also useful place to put one click links to secure websites/info for the users. #### Cons Literally everything else. Their search system is god awful, you cannot find anything by searching something, you have to comb through everything you have in your database to find anything. The way to download files is more confusing than ever, especially for your Franchise users. I can't say much about the info manager/sales section since I didn't work in that portion of the system. But updating users / Franchises was a nightmare, no ability to change multiple franchises at once, you have to manually go into each separate Franchise to check if it has the correct information, hit save, the system would then boot you out and put you back to a blank search page instead of the search page you originally created. --- ### Franchise Management Software - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, it's okay, but pricey for what you get. It's worth shopping around and comparing the alternatives. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros A variety of modules are available to add, depending on your needs. For example, franchise development, financials, information manager, store opener, etc. It's solid software, but not cutting edge, which is not necessarily bad in a franchise. #### Cons It can be expensive, depending on the modules needed. We've found some software that we liked better for certain functionality, like group forums. For that, we moved it off this platform and on to Workplace by Facebook. #### Reasons for switching to FranConnect Had a more modern interface at the time. --- ### Orangetheory Fitness Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been working with FranConnect for approx the past 2.5 years. I think some small tweaks in regard to system duplication (of data) and the modules "speaking" to each other could be easier. generally, we receive great software support but I would like to see a little more in regards to looking to them as the expects on their software and how we can use it at orangetheory to improve network functionality and improve internal business processes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It is very Admin friendly - i can make majority of internal changes for the HQ office on a daily basis #### Cons System updates and enhancements do not always transition smoothly with customizations --- ### FranConnect Is Great - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered The program is very user friendly. Adapting to the changes is my only set back. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the frequent updates and customer support to ensure that we have the latest technology to mold our daily business growth techniques into a super user friendly CRM and software portal for our business. #### Cons When the updates occur I would like to see a screenshot of the changes prior. This last update was a major visual change. --- ### Great for basic CRM - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: James M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

The ap is functional but a little slow. It did make my life eaiser. #### Cons It would be much more valuable if we could be an integration with our ops software. If I had sales data connected to my marketing work it would be awsome! --- ### We love it! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: LaToya W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Staffing and Recruiting - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

We were able to customize to match our training and staffing specific language. #### Cons Some of the most recent updates are difficult to get used too. I'm not a fan of the latest update with moved the navigation bar. --- ### Customizable Platforms - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Events Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The FranConnect team has worked incredibly hard to create our customized platform. With our unique business that doesn’t fit in any canned system it has been amazing what they’ve been able to accomplish. #### Cons The two biggest hiccups are response to down times and loss of capabilities due to customization. We have gone down during peak times for our business and if it’s their off day or night the emergency help line isn’t that responsive. Due to customizing we don’t get the new Sky platform and don’t get all the bells and whistles which sometimes causes franchises to use third party applications. Would prefer to keep all on one system. --- ### Wonderful & Easy to Use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tiffany C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It has multiple sections that take a lead from a sales prospect to a franchise owner. Also sections for marketing and finance. #### Cons This is a difficult platform to master so you will need to have a technically oriented owner for this site. It is also seems to be focused on franchises that have a retail footprint that services customers onsite. Franconnect is not very flexible as far as modifying the site to meet specific needs or design. its more on an out of the box solution. --- ### Fran Connect as an Administrator - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
