Franchisees and Franchisors - Licensees and Licensors

Franchise networks are unique in their needs. The very nature of franchising combines two seemingly opposing sets of characteristics:
  • 1. Consistency and commonality across stores to protect and ensure brand recognition
  • 2. Variation and independence of ownership which thrives on individual styles and opportunity
And for the franchisor, manufacturer, brand owner or licensor, their retail business has a different set of opportunities and challenges.

Retail Pro understands the symbiotic relationship between a brand owner and their independent retail channel. Some of our largest customers use a combination of wholesale, company stores, outlets, flagship locations and independently-owned stores to aggressively penetrate their target markets – in all parts of the world. Whether you are focusing your efforts in a single country market, or spreading your brand across multiple world economies, Retail Pro’s inherent flexibility handles both scenarios with ease.

And for the franchisee, independent ownerships of all sizes can take advantage of our affordable yet powerful Retail Pro solution to run their entire retail business. Further, when multiple franchisees pool together, Retail Pro can be configured to maximize productivity and reduce costs by using consistent practices across independently owned companies. We bridge the best of both worlds between franchisees and franchisors. It is what we do best at Retail Pro.
