For Appliance Repair Franchise Networks
39% of consumers have disposed of appliances because they couldn't find a satisfactory repairer. The network with instant triage, OEM certification visibility, and parts-probability staging captures demand competitors structurally cannot reach.
Where It Breaks
A technician certified for one brand cannot service another. The same location may hold four different OEM authorizations, or one. The franchisor rarely knows the current state across the network, and the scheduling system was built for a vertical where any tech handles any job.
Brand-specific components are not interchangeable, and the correct part depends on the model and symptom, not just the appliance category. Without parts-probability staging before the appointment is confirmed, first-trip resolution rates suffer and every second visit is a cost the margin cannot absorb.
Fifty-eight percent of consumers choose replacement over repair. The technician's framing of that conversation is the deciding variable. Without decision support (appliance age, repair range, expected remaining life, replacement cost), the outcome is left entirely to individual judgment, and the network has no visibility into how consistently that judgment is applied.
What We'd Examine
What information does a customer provide before a technician is assigned? Is appliance brand, model, and symptom captured at first contact or after dispatch? How long does it take to confirm that the location can accept the job?
Does the franchisor have a current picture of which locations hold which certifications, and where authorization gaps create territory-level service holes? When an authorization lapses, who finds out and how quickly?
What does the technician use to frame the repair-vs-replace conversation? Is there a standard approach, or does every location handle it differently? Does the franchisor know the rate at which jobs convert to repair versus referral out?
The Discovery Phase
Over approximately four weeks, we work through your franchise system: intake and triage architecture, OEM authorization coverage across locations, parts-staging practices, repair-vs-replace decision frameworks, and what your field coaches can see between visits. The output is a prioritized opportunity map. Yours to keep, regardless of what you decide next.
