In this guide
Franchises and multi-location businesses need consistency without losing local flexibility. Head office wants standards followed and numbers reported. Each location wants clear instructions, quick support and fewer forms. Email, shared drives and spreadsheets do not scale well across locations. This page describes what Simple Automation Solutions builds for franchisors and multi-location operators on Bubble.io.
A custom system can sit alongside your point-of-sale, accounting and booking tools, giving head office and locations a shared layer for onboarding, standards, reporting and communication.
What do we build?
| Build | What it does | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Franchisee and location portal | Operating manual, updates, documents and support requests | Franchisees and head office |
| Location onboarding system | Checklists, documents, training and approvals for new locations | Head office and new franchisees |
| Standards and audit checklists | Inspections, scores, actions and follow-ups | Field managers and locations |
| Reporting and KPI dashboard | Sales and operational numbers by location, as data is provided | Head office and franchisees |
| Support and request tracker | Tickets from locations with status and owners | Head office and locations |
| Training and acknowledgement tracker | Required training and policy sign-offs by person and location | Head office and staff |
| Communication hub | Announcements and campaigns to selected locations | Head office |
What are the core workflows?
- Onboarding a location: a standard checklist with documents, training and approvals.
- Standards: regular audits with scores, actions and follow-up.
- Reporting: consistent numbers by location.
- Support: requests routed to the right team with status.
- Communication: targeted announcements and acknowledgements.
Why start with onboarding and standards?
New location onboarding and recurring audits are frequent, structured and expensive to handle by email. They also create data that makes later reporting far easier. See what to cut before you build.
How do we handle privacy and access?
- Each location sees only its own data, plus shared head office material.
- Regional managers see their own regions.
- Head office roles control who can see financial and commercial information.
- Staff data is minimised and access is logged.
- Audit results and actions are recorded with dates and owners.
- Rules are enforced in the data and tested with multiple accounts before launch. See our security guide.
Professional, sector and data protection rules vary by country, and you remain responsible for yours. We build to support them, and recommend taking advice where regulated data is involved.
How does a project run?
- Free Idea Audit (30 minutes). We discuss your process and what hurts most.
- Discovery Sprint ($345). A PRD with roles, workflows, data model, integrations, cost and timeline within 24–48 hours, credited toward the build.
- Build. On a separate test version, with regular demos.
- Pilot. A small first group, then wider rollout with short guides.
- Launch and iterate. Improvements and support from $35 per hour, with no retainers or minimums.

What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on the PRD. The main drivers are user flows, roles, integrations, platform and data complexity. Typical launches take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope. See our Bubble.io cost guide and realistic build schedules.

Build or buy?
- A franchise management platform already fits your model.
- Your network is small and simple processes work.
- Your needs are standard and per-location costs are low.
We would rather tell you to buy a product than sell you a build you do not need.
When are we not the right fit?
- You need a point-of-sale or inventory system replaced. Integrate with the one you have.
- You need very large-scale analytics across thousands of locations.
- You need to own and run the source code.
- You need on-site support in a specific city.
Frequently asked questions
Can you build a franchisee portal?
Yes. We build portals with the operating manual, updates, documents and support requests, with each location seeing only its own data plus shared material.
Can the system handle audits and standards checks?
Yes. Checklists, scores, actions and follow-ups can be built, with a record by location.
Can it report numbers by location?
Yes, as data is provided to the system, either entered or connected through integrations scoped in the PRD.
Do you replace our point-of-sale software?
No. We integrate with your existing systems where possible and build the shared layer around them.
How much does it cost?
Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on scope. A $345 Discovery Sprint, credited toward the build, produces the scope.
Running several locations on email and spreadsheets?
Email us how locations are onboarded, supported and measured today. We will outline what is worth building.
