Franchise software built for the trades we live in.
Royalty automation, cross-location reporting, and a franchise-development CRM that lives next to the same shop OS every franchisee runs day-to-day. One platform for franchisor and franchisee — no spreadsheet reconciliation, no third-party royalty tool.

Royalty statement periods
Everything a franchisor actually needs.
Not a bolted-on "multi-location" toggle. Purpose-built franchisor tooling on top of the shop OS your locations already run.
Cross-location dashboard
Rollup KPIs from every franchisee in real time — revenue, appointments, close rate, NPS, royalty owed. Drill into any shop for per-location detail.
Royalty automation
Automatic royalty calculation from gross sales. Per-shop statements per period with period-level CSV export, plus a bank-ready ACH file you generate and upload to your own bank for collection. Dispute-flag surface.
Franchise development CRM
12-month franchise-buyer playbook from lead → discovery day → close. FDD-aware compliance, validator referrals, rep dashboard, goals + leaderboard.
Per-location overrides
One-click push of a service, sales-matrix price, or film product to every shop missing it — a one-time standardization, not an ongoing sync. HQ pricing rules set network minimum prices and maximum discounts.
Territory map
State-level view of awarded shops vs. active prospect interest, so your franchise-development team can see what's open, what's protected, and where the pipeline is working. Add +Territory Mapping on top of HQ to draw and size the territories themselves on a live map.
Shop OS for every franchisee
Each franchisee runs the SalesThumb shop OS on its own shop plan: CRM, scheduling, quotes, invoicing, and payments; the installer mobile app is read-only on Starter and full on Growth or Pro, and inventory needs Growth or Pro. Booking pages carry each shop's own logo, and a shop can add its own booking domain.

Franchise FAQ.
- What franchise management software does SalesThumb offer?
- SalesThumb HQ ($599/mo, including 5 shops; $35/shop/mo after that) is the multi-location add-on for our shop-management platform. It adds a franchisor-grade layer on top of the per-shop OS: royalty calculation + statement generation, cross-location revenue + performance reporting, location compliance tracking, and one-click pushes of services, sales-matrix prices, and film products to every shop that's missing them. A separate CRM/Franchise Sales add-on ($799/mo, stacks on HQ or standalone) adds the franchise development CRM for selling new units and sales playbook automation for franchise sales reps.
- How does royalty tracking work in SalesThumb?
- Royalties are calculated automatically from gross sales in each shop. Franchisors define the rate (flat percent, tiered brackets, or a fixed amount), the period (weekly or monthly), and any thresholds or carve-outs. SalesThumb generates the royalty statement per shop per period with full line-item detail and surfaces dispute flags. For collection, SalesThumb generates a bank-ready ACH file (or you can invoice and collect manually) — you upload the file to your own bank, which handles the actual transfer. Each period exports to CSV, and any individual statement can be printed from the browser; a one-click statement PDF isn't built yet.
- Can I see all my franchise locations in one dashboard?
- Yes. The HQ dashboard rolls up KPIs from every franchisee shop in real time — revenue, appointments completed, avg ticket, close rate, NPS, royalty owed, marketing spend, and operational metrics like utilization, no-show rate, and rebook rate. Drill from the rollup into any single shop for a full per-shop view.
- Do you have a franchise development CRM for selling new units?
- Yes. The franchise sales CRM ships with a 12-month franchise-buyer playbook (lead → discovery day → FDD review → territory selection → close), a sales-rep dashboard, sequenced automations, FDD-aware compliance checks, validators (referenced franchisees who'll take a call), and a goals + leaderboard for sales reps. Built specifically for franchise sales — not retrofitted from a generic CRM.
- How do you handle multi-location pricing and catalogs?
- HQ admins can push a service, sales-matrix price, or film product to every shop that's missing it with a single click — a one-time standardization push, not an ongoing sync. Each shop still owns and can freely edit its own catalog afterward, applying per-location pricing overrides within the network's minimum prices and discount caps.
- Can franchisees use their own SalesThumb subdomain?
- Yes. Each franchisee gets their own subdomain (e.g. atlas-tint.salesthumb.com) plus optional custom domain (e.g. atlastint.com). Branding is per-location: logo, colors, copy, public booking page, customer messaging.
- What does HQ pricing look like?
- HQ is $599/mo flat — the first 5 shops are included free, then $35/shop/mo beyond that. The Franchise Sales CRM for selling new units is a separate add-on at $799/mo (stacks on HQ or standalone). See /pricing for the full breakdown, or reach out via /contact for larger networks.
- How long does it take to roll out across an existing franchise network?
- Rollout time depends on network size and how much data each shop brings over; we'll scope a timeline with you on a discovery call. HQ and the Franchise Sales CRM are set up with our team.
