Why Automation Matters for the Franchise Industry
1. Having consistency across outlets or centres
Different centres of a franchise operate along the same lines when it comes to billings, vendor management, procurement, staff requirements, etc. In such cases, it is easier to make these processes automated with the latest tools so that human intervention is minimal reducing errors and improving consistency. This is one of the key reasons why cloud accounting is essential for outsourced franchise bookkeeping, helping franchise businesses standardise financial processes across multiple locations.
2. Increasing efficiency
3. Reducing errors and improving compliance
4. Making it easier to scale
Revenue Impact of Automation on the Franchise Business
Franchisors today are taking advantage of automation to boost their business. Automation not only reduces costs and improves productivity across locations, but also has a direct impact on the revenue of the business.
For example, a major food chain in Australia was able to significantly reduce the time and cost spent and improve accuracy by a huge margin. High transaction volumes and multiple third-party integrations made manual processing slow and error-prone. befree’s automation solutions were able to:
- Reduce manual effort by 60%, saving 30 hours per week
- Achieve 90% time savings, reducing workload by 15 hours per week
- Achieve a whopping 99.9% accuracy in AP and AR processing, minimising errors and reconciliation issues
