No candidate goes cold again.
One home for every franchise buyer, from first inquiry to signed agreement. See who's hot, what stage they're in, and what to do next — without a spreadsheet.
Every candidate tracked so none go cold in the pipeline.
Hello — we're Franchive.
We're the software company built for franchise companies, with the team that runs it for you.
We connect the tools your franchise already uses, put them all in one place, and automate the work between them — without you learning anything new.
- ConnectKeep every tool you already run. We connect them, and add ours only where a piece is missing.
- AutomateThe work between them starts running itself — every sequence approved by you first, and logged when it runs.
- Nothing new to learnSame tools, same logins, same day-to-day. You get the dashboards without hiring a systems department.
How most teams that bring in new franchisees run this today — and what changes.
Candidates live in spreadsheets and inboxes, so hot buyers slip through the cracks.
Quietly costs you every weekOne CRM shows every candidate, stage, and next step — nothing gets lost.
Working for you by next weekReplaces spreadsheets, sticky notes, and a generic CRM that doesn't know franchising.
How a first inquiry becomes a signed unit.
Development is a series of small handoffs where deals go cold. This is the path we keep every candidate on — no gaps, no dropped threads, no good buyer forgotten.

Every franchise runs the same four stages. We connect the tools you already run at each one, and only add ours where a piece is missing — pick any stage, or all four. Nobody starts over.

Why it matters.
Franchise development runs on memory — and memory stops scaling past a handful of candidates.
Our franchise development CRM is shaped around how deals actually close: the FDD timeline, the disclosure clock, the funding steps — not a generic sales funnel bolted on.
Every candidate's history, documents, and next action live on one record, and the system nudges each deal forward on its own.
You spend your time talking to buyers who are ready — not digging through your inbox to remember where each one left off.
A candidate fills out your franchise inquiry form on a Sunday night. It lands in the CRM, gets an automatic reply, and is already in the “New” column when your team logs in Monday — with a reminder set for the first call.
Try it yourself · In the live demo, open CRM & pipeline and drag a candidate a stage — the follow-up updates itself.
See exactly this in the live demoThree steps, and it runs itself.
Every candidate, one place
Inquiries from your site, portals, and ads flow straight into the CRM — no manual entry.
Follow-up that never slips
Automatic texts and emails keep candidates warm and moving through your FDD steps.
See the whole board
Every stage, note, and next action is visible, so nothing stalls on the way to signed.
Built around every role in your network.
Whichever seat you sit in, Franchise development CRM was designed for how you actually work — on its own, or connected to the rest of what we run.
You juggle dozens of candidates while they shop three other brands. The CRM keeps every buyer, and their next step, right in front of you.
You get an honest read on the pipeline — how many candidates, at what stage, closing when — without asking anyone to build a deck.
Run every brand you represent from one board, each candidate's source and stage clean enough to report back to the franchisor.
Everything a serious franchise development crm should have — in one place.
No add-ons to chase, no modules to buy back later. Here's what runs the moment you're live.
Candidate profiles & timeline
Every inquiry, call, email, note, and document on one candidate record — the whole relationship at a glance.
Automated nurture sequences
Multi-touch text and email drips keep buyers warm through discovery, disclosure, and funding without manual chasing.
FDD-stage pipeline
Drag-and-drop stages mapped to your real disclosure process, with a next-step reminder on every deal.
Source & conversion reporting
Inquiries, qualified rate, and signed units by source, so you fund the channels that actually produce units.
What this is worth — in numbers you can check.
The cost of a cold candidate
When first replies drop from hours to under 5 minutes, discovery-day bookings rise by a modeled 28% — the same pipeline and the same reps, with the gaps closed.
The cost of a disconnected stack
Across a modeled 150-location network, connecting the tools locations already run eliminates an average of 14 hours of busywork per location, per week — re-keyed data, manual follow-up, and reports stitched together by hand.

Everything you need to know.
Can it match our exact FDD process?
Yes. The stages mirror your real disclosure timeline — receipt, discovery day, funding, signing — not a generic sales template.
What happens to candidates we've already collected?
We import your existing candidates and history, so day one starts full instead of empty.
Can outside brokers and FSOs work in it?
Yes — you can give brokers scoped access to just their candidates, with attribution tracked automatically.
Can we use this on its own?
Yes. Every Franchive tool works on its own and works better connected to the rest. Start with one; add more when you're ready.
Do we have to replace our current software?
No — we build on the tools you already run. And if you'd rather consolidate, Franchive's own CRM, scheduling, payments, reviews, and phone can replace any of them. Keep what you love, replace what you don't — your call, tool by tool.
Do we run it, or do you?
Your call. Have Franchive set it up for your team to run, do a one-time project, or run it for you as a managed service.
How is it priced?
On one number — how many locations you have — with unlimited users and 30-day terms.
Who owns our data?
You do. Your data is yours — if you ever leave, you take it with you. We connect and organize the systems you already run; we don't hold them hostage.
How long does onboarding take?
Most networks are live in weeks, not months, because we build on the tools you already use instead of migrating everything to a brand-new platform.
Is our data secure?
Yes — secure hosting with role-based access, so the right people see the right data by location or role, and every access is traceable.
Do we have to sign a long contract?
No. Terms are 30 days. We keep earning your business every month, which keeps us pointed at your results instead of your renewal date.
What if we run more than one brand?
Franchive is built for multi-brand. Each brand's data stays appropriately separated while you get a portfolio view across all of them.
Will our team need training?
Barely. The system runs in the background and our team does the heavy lifting. When someone needs help, they reach a real person from inside the app.
Want this running for you?
Tell us your brand and the tools you run. We'll send a free audit and show you exactly how this would fit — no pitch.
