Franchise Commercial Operations

This page presents the Sales Intelligence project case study, including an overview, tools used and key findings.

Case Study

1

The company has a network of over 250 franchises, each operating with its own business model, data extraction processes and information management, without a defined standard. Most of the reports were created in Excel, making the process susceptible to errors, inconsistencies and rework.

In addition, the franchises had to report data to the head office on a monthly basis, but many of them faced challenges due to the lack of professionals trained to structure reports and analyze performance metrics. This made decision-making difficult for both franchisees and the head office, impacting operational efficiency and the identification of opportunities for improvement.

Overview

Challenges

Each franchise used its own format and method for extracting and managing information, making it difficult to consolidate data in the matrix. The reliance on Excel spreadsheets increased the susceptibility to manual errors, outdated versions and inconsistencies in the reported data. Many franchises did not have professionals experienced in data analysis, making it difficult to create structured reports and interpret essential metrics for the business.

  • Creation of support material and training so that franchisees could interpret the reports and make more informed decisions.

Implemented Solutions

Results Obtained

The implementation of the dashboard brought about a significant transformation in franchise management. With a clear and structured view of the main indicators, franchisees were able to quickly identify trends and opportunities, adjusting their strategies more quickly and assertively, without relying on a technical professional to develop reports and dashboards. Monitoring results became intuitive and accessible, encouraging proactivity in analyzing performance and making strategic decisions.
