Optimize Your Royalty Management

Calculating royalties can be complicated based on complex franchise agreements. Followed by time spent on producing invoices and following up with multiple franchisees for payments, finance teams are spending time away from what is most important in the business – growing and becoming more profitable.  

Sales Detail to Calculate Royalties for a franchise

Import Sales Directly into Royalty Manager

Once sales are imported into Royalty Manager, the system will calculate all royalties owed based on the franchise agreement. FranConnect’s Royalty Manager eliminates manual errors in calculations and invoicing, as well as reduces the time spent on reconciling invoices and chasing payments from franchisees. This ultimately increases cashflow for the business and allows teams to focus on other tasks to drive business growth.
