Managing Sales Data Across Locations
Franchisors need to track sales across multiple franchise locations, but collecting information manually from different systems can create additional administrative work.
Franchise Finance & Royalty Automation Platform
CHRGD is an all-in-one franchise finance platform that helps franchisors automate royalty management, monitor franchise performance, and manage financial transfers across their network.
We worked on CHRGD's web and backend development, building a centralized platform that connects franchise sales data, royalty processes, performance tracking, and franchisee insights into one connected system.

Overview
Managing franchise finances across multiple locations can involve a significant amount of sales data, royalty calculations, reconciliation, and reporting.
When these processes rely on spreadsheets and manual workflows, franchisors can spend considerable time collecting data, reconciling payments, and monitoring franchise performance.
We worked on CHRGD as a centralized franchise finance platform designed to automate these processes and provide franchisors with greater visibility across their network.
The platform connects with franchisees' POS systems, brings sales data into one place, automates royalty processes, and provides performance insights for both franchisors and franchisees.
Challenges
Manual Royalty Reconciliation
Calculating and reconciling royalties manually can lead to delays, payment follow-ups, and additional auditing effort.
Limited Network Visibility
Without centralized and up-to-date data, franchisors may have limited visibility into how individual locations and the overall network are performing.
Improving Franchisee Performance
Franchisees also need access to meaningful performance data to understand how their location is performing and identify opportunities for improvement.
Reducing Administrative Overhead
Manual reconciliation and reporting can take time away from higher-value activities such as supporting franchise growth and improving network performance.
Our Approach
We built CHRGD around the financial relationship between franchisors and franchisees, connecting sales information with royalty processing, reconciliation, and performance tracking so these activities could be managed through a more structured workflow.
Step 1
Bring Sales Data Directly Into the Platform
We integrated major POS systems so franchise sales information could flow into CHRGD automatically, removing the need to manually collect and enter daily sales figures.
Step 2
Streamline Daily Financial Reconciliation
Daily sales auditing helps identify and manage discrepancies, while automated royalty processes reduce repetitive work involved in calculating and managing franchise payments.
Step 3
Give Franchisors a Network-Level View
We developed dashboards that allow franchisors to monitor performance across their franchise network and compare results between locations.
Step 4
Help Franchisees Understand Their Performance
Franchisees can use performance comparisons and financial guidance to better understand their results and identify areas that may require attention.
Step 5
Connect Financial Data With Performance Management
Rather than treating sales, royalties, and performance reporting as separate activities, CHRGD brings these workflows together so financial information can support both network oversight and location-level decision-making.
