Technology in the limelight. How it takes service franchises from ordinary to awesome

Even if you have just started with your research, you have likely heard franchisors talk about the technology they use in their franchise.

Them: We are beyond excited about the comprehensive and cutting edge use of sophisticated systems and how it compounds to make a significant difference…

You: I don’t really understand just yet… or I’m not quite seeing it.

Technology is the silent killer that makes franchise systems roar. It doesn’t get the recognition it deserves but will surely be one of the key selling features of any franchise you might investigate. We talk tech with our guest, Nabeel Rahman from Vonigo. Hear how the magic happens with their Vonigo back-end solution, helping beautifully unsexy service business franchises become weapons of competition-destruction.

  • Breaking down the “technology”
  • Highlighting some of the core components
  • Examples of companies who benefit from it
  • How franchisees really win with the sophistication
  • How to learn about it from the franchisor

You’ll develop an appreciation for what technology can do in a franchise and how to tackle the subject in your research.

Client Support and Onboarding at Vonigo

Nabeel Rehman is in charge of Client Support and Onboarding at Vonigo with a 12+ year background in Information Technology. And as a true professional, he manages to successfully take us on a deep dive into the topic without using a PowerPoint presentation!

Vonigo is a Vancouver-based firm dedicated to helping service companies improve efficiency, increase revenue, and better serve their clients. After researching online platforms to run their own business, nothing seemed to fit the bill, so they developed one themselves. It turned out they weren’t the only ones looking, and Vonigo was born. The team has grown over the years to include some great people with experience at companies like Google, Square, Oracle, IBM, BMC, Salesforce, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, and Electronic Arts.

I’ve been helping people explore franchise opportunities for over 15 years. While the industry continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: prospective franchise owners have a lot of questions. And without getting answers and education, dreams of business ownership remain unfulfilled. My goal as your host is to help you get closer to your ideal franchise – step by step, topic by topic. I love hearing peoples’ franchise success stories – you’re my inspiration for the Franchise Scout and hope this podcast helps you to have your story to share. Thanks for listening, Grant.
