Six-figure functionality. Three-figure price tag.

One of the things I love about running the TFC Software House is the moment when something lands on my desk and I think “Yes, that’s it. That’s the one that actually solves the problem properly.”

That happened recently with HolaTeams, and I wanted to share it with you straight away.

That moment doesn’t happen often, as I’ve got pretty high standards these days, and even then it’s just the start of a long process of testing and evaluation.

Before we add anything to the Software House, we test it thoroughly. Does it solve a genuine franchise problem? Is the team committed to continuous improvement? Is it built for franchising rather than generic business use? Most solutions fail at least one of those tests.

HolaTeams didn’t – it aced it.

So, what is it – and what problem does it actually solve?

Ask most franchisors how their tech stack is holding up, and you’ll get some version of the same answer. There’s a CRM that doesn’t talk to the finance system. Training materials scattered across shared drives and email threads. Franchisee communications happening on WhatsApp groups nobody can properly monitor or search.

Then there’s you and your team running around trying to make it all mesh, and spending a crazy amount of time trying to bridge the gap between all the different systems instead of doing what’s most important: growing and supporting the business.

For many franchisors, the ideal solution would be a single system that brings everything together under one roof and works exactly the way they need it.

There are a few problems with that, of course – it takes a long time to develop something like this, and even longer to get everyone trained on how it works and make sure everyone across the network adopts it.

However, the real stickler would be the cost. Developing something like this of your own would cost you £100k+, easy.

HolaTeams changes that completely – and it costs only $75 per user per month (roughly £60)

It operates entirely within your existing Microsoft 365 network and, while it’s not a bespoke design just for you, it is built specifically for franchising. CRM, operations, training, finance, and communications are all connected, all working together, inside a single platform. Not a collection of tools that almost integrate. One environment where everything feeds into the same picture, and everyone from head office to your newest franchisee is working from the same page.

You get a platform that feels bespoke to franchising, without the bespoke price tag – and because it uses everything you already have in place from Microsoft 365, your team and franchisees don’t have to learn everything from scratch.

• Stop switching between systems and get a complete view of your network from one dashboard.
• Free your support team from repetitive admin so they can spend more time helping franchisees succeed.
• Your data stays inside your own Microsoft environment – it never sits on someone else’s server
• It scales with you, whether you’re at 10 units today or building towards 100 or 1000

I think this is particularly well suited to franchisors who’ve hit that point where the patchwork of different tools is starting to hold them back. So, if you’re spending too much time managing systems instead of managing your franchise network, you should definitely check this out.
