### "Great Place to Have All Data in One Place"

December 19, 2018

4.0

Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience with FranConnect. I think the latest update has truly made it more user-friendly and visually appealing. It is easy to add data and update as needed.

Pros

The software is a great tool to capture and access multiple data in one location. I like how we can easily find data through the search bar and add comments to specific areas. I also like that it offers different segments to save store information, resources library and Marketing collateral. I seems user friendly too and easy to navigate.

Cons

Since the latest update, I like its new look now as it looks more modern. The version before looks so dated.

September 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

Completely customizable - we can build internal pages/forms/reports to meet our needs.

Cons

Lag in loading pages/information. Making changes in one part of a form does not push the change to other connected forms.

### "Great Lead Software Program"

December 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Great hub for contacts, campaigns and miscellaneous documents

Cons

It is not integrated with RMS so the contacts need to be manually brought over. This can only be done at the corporate level.

### "Old and too many modules"

October 13, 2020

3.0

It's as crappy as Salesforce for a number of reasons. People either think it's the only solution or only get it because they're too busy to do the research to find a better solution. The UI is ancient and hard to navigate. And they charge you an arm and a leg and then all the customization and usability is on your plate. No thanks.

Pros

Not a whole lot. We're switching to HubSpot instead and can get rid of all of our modules that we had in FranConnect.

Cons

The lead management and marketing automation is missing a lot of features that you can get from even free software these days.

### "Franchising must-have"

March 6, 2017

4.0

FranConnect is essential to our franchising sales effort. It onboards leads, tracks progress, helps our sales people establish a rhythm and lets me know what's going on. We also bought some of their marketing software to help our franchisees track their own sales efforts at the local level. The only reason I stopped short of 5 stars in some categories: FranConnect is undergoing a good kind of transition. They hired great people with SaaS experience who will combine software expertise with legacy franchise expertise to improve the user interface and some other aspects of the system needing work. I recommend to any franchising executive that they give FranConnect serious consideration. They will be up to 5 stars in no time.

Pros

Squarely focused on franchising.

Cons

As with most software, the UX can be improved.

### "Very helpful tool"

December 18, 2018

4.0

I am not using all the features but I think it is an helpful tool for the reports and management of leads.

Pros

Quite easy to use once you are trained on it . When something is not working or I have issues, the support is really helpful and respond quickly.

Cons

Some of the reports features could still be improved - Automatic set up of current dates for the "incoming lead by sales territory" report for example - Have the excel export icon directly without having to scroll right

### "Leads organization "

September 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

It keeps everything organized in one place, easy to find the data you are looking for a candidate.

Cons

I wish I could upload more than one document without having to name every single one of them, but I understand that this can be a feature that will make easier in the future when we need to run a report to check on what type of docs we have on file.

### "My review of franconnect"

September 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is made specifically for franchise sales - many features within the software are specific to the franchise sales area and we don't need to force a CRM to meet our frnachise sales needs.

Cons

It's a little outdated in it's UX. I feel it could be updated - especially if mobile, or perhaps an app.

### "FranConnect Software"

January 23, 2017

5.0

We have been using the full suite of FranConnect Software since our launch, 5 years ago. Given the lead volume we have experienced, I couldn't imagine not using this software. Last year we incubated our second brand and didn't think twice about using FranConnect for this company has well. The new leadership team brought in a couple of years ago is top notch and I would highly recommend any emerging franchisors to use FranConnect.
