It’s not always easy to build a system from scratch. One of the great aspects of operating within a franchise is that you don’t often need to.
Many of the systems to sell your service, send the product, manage a team and communicate with clients are already set up. You only need to apply them to your location.
Whether existing software can manage those internal systems is another story. That’s where Gorilla Dash steps in. We don’t assume that every tool is going to fit every franchise.
Very often, we build Custom Software that meets the needs of a particular customer.
Gorilla Dash was built — tool by tool — because our franchise customers asked us to meet their unique requests. They wondered aloud if the software could do X at the specifications of Y while managing factors A, B and C.
We asked questions until we figured how to make their vision work. We did that over and over until Gorilla Dash fit the needs of franchise companies perfectly.
That being said, Gorilla Dash has heaps of ready-to-launch tools that can be customised to specific workflows. Most of the time, workflows can be managed by uniting tools that already exist.
But! If you have a workflow that is so unique that it falls outside of our current tools, well…
We love a good challenge. 😎
Quick Gorilla Dash Guide
How Custom Software Can Support Your Systems
Today, we have a quick thought exercise to help you consider how Gorilla Dash could make your workflow run smoothly. Think through these three sets of questions with your leadership team.
Let us know what you come up with!
1. Is there a specific task you wish your franchisee partners would do more often?
- Could that task be automated? What would trigger the automation?
- Would automated reminders help?
- Could another party be prompted to step in at certain points of the workflow to expedite the process?
- Could the first part of the task be completed automatically and initial results be sent for franchisee partners to review?
2. What questions do you find yourself answering the most often? What are your clients usually complaining about?
-
Could an automated workflow address the problem or question before it comes up?
3. What process always feels like it's lagging behind? Where is the team currently spending a lot of their time?
-
How could software speed up the workflow or make the system flow smoothly?
