A Better Way to Manage Vendors & Approved Suppliers
Approved Vendors & Suppliers for Your Franchise Network
Franchise systems rely on trusted suppliers — from print shops and equipment providers to marketing agencies, apparel partners, and technology vendors. But keeping vendor lists updated, sharing offers, and ensuring franchisees only use approved suppliers can be challenging. Gorilla Dash gives franchise brands a complete vendor management hub. Approved vendors can log in, update their products, publish special offers, and share announcements. Franchisees can quickly browse the vendor directory, compare offerings, and contact suppliers directly. Franchisors stay in control, franchisees get clarity, and vendors get a valuable channel to reach your network.
What's included?
- Vendor Directory: Franchisees can browse approved suppliers with clear categories, endorsements, offers, and contact details.
- Self-Managed Vendor Profiles: Vendors log in to update offerings, upload documents, publish promotions, and manage their listings.
- Subscription Revenue: Brands can offer paid vendor plans that include dashboard cards, email blasts, and premium placement.
“Gorilla Dash made vendor management effortless. Our suppliers love how easy it is to update their offers, and our franchisees finally have one place to find trusted partners. It’s become a major value-add for our entire network.”

A Vendor Platform That Works for Everyone
Connect franchisees with trusted suppliers — while giving vendors tools to promote, support, and grow within your network.
“Franchisees love it, vendors love it — and the brand profits from it. It’s a win on every level.”
Gorilla Dash brings structure and simplicity to vendor management. Every approved supplier has a dedicated profile where they can showcase their offerings, upload resources, and publish time-sensitive promotions. Franchisees can search by category, compare vendors, read endorsements from other franchisees, and contact suppliers directly. Vendors can take part in paid subscription tiers that unlock additional marketing tools — dashboard cards, email broadcasts, featured placement in the vendor directory, and promotional campaigns. This creates a new, reliable revenue stream for franchisors while giving suppliers valuable visibility inside your network. Head office retains full control over which vendors appear, what approvals are required, and what access vendors receive. Meanwhile, franchisees enjoy a trusted marketplace where every supplier meets brand standards.
Case Study:How Signarama Strengthened Vendor Partnerships With Gorilla Dash
With hundreds of locations, Signarama struggled to maintain an up-to-date list of approved vendors. Franchisees often relied on outdated spreadsheets or word-of-mouth recommendations. Vendors had no clear channel to share offers, pricing updates, or new product launches, and head office missed opportunities to create structured partnerships or generate additional revenue.
