Unifying Operations for a Multi-State Franchise Distributor
26 Dec

Client Background

A franchise distribution company headquartered in Miami since 2012, managing over 200 fast-food franchises across the Southeastern U.S.

Business Challenge

Multi-state operations created significant inefficiencies:

  • Royalty errors: 25% overpayments due to fragmented accounting.
  • Delayed reporting: Slowed strategic decision-making.
  • Complex tax compliance: State-by-state regulatory risks.
  • Lack of unified systems: No visibility across franchise locations.
