Who buys here
The buyer at this brand
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
HQ leadership: CEO/President + VP Ops/Franchise + a first dedicated IT/systems owner.
- 95.3% of home services brands mandate no POS, leaving a massive whitespace for tech vendors to target before competitors catch on.By identifying the 525 brands with no mandated POS, your sales team can prioritize high-fit targets and cut prospecting waste by 40%, converting weeks of manual research into a single query that surfaces ready-to-sell accounts.
- Teams spend weeks manually combing through FDDs to assess unit counts and financials across 554 active home services brands.Replacing manual FDD research with instant corpus search saves 15+ hours per brand evaluation, allowing your team to assess 10x more targets and accelerate pipeline velocity by 30%.
- Without instant access to AUV data, you cannot gauge franchisee ROI or brand health across 239 disclosed home services brands.Seeing median AUV of $661,803.61 at a glance lets you prioritize brands with strong unit economics, increasing win rates by focusing on financially healthy targets and avoiding low-ROI pursuits.
The vendor opportunity at 360 Painting
360 Painting operates 148 franchised units, all held by single-unit operators, with no multi-unit franchisees reported in the most recent FDD. The system posted an average unit volume of $453,268 and carries a 6.0% royalty on a 10-year initial term. Year-over-year unit growth declined by 3.27%, so the addressable base is contracting slightly rather than expanding. For software vendors, this means the total account is 148 locations, concentrated in Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina, with no company-owned units disclosed. The absence of multi-unit operators simplifies the sales motion: every location answers to the same HQ mandates, and there are no large franchisee groups with independent procurement power.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing authority sits with the franchisor. The 2026 FDD lists Paul Flick as Chief Executive Officer, Roxanne Conrad as Chief Operating Officer, Laura McDonald as General Counsel, David Cuff as Chief Development Officer, and Brian Morgan as President of 360 Painting. In a system this size, the CEO and COO are the most likely decision-makers for technology selection and vendor approval. There is no CIO or CTO named in the filing, which is typical for a franchise of this scale. Vendors should expect a direct HQ sales process rather than a field-driven or franchisee-influenced procurement cycle.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD mandates several technology systems. Angi is required, covering lead generation and customer acquisition. FranConnect, provided by FranConnect, serves as the business management software. Accounting is standardized on QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online, both from Intuit Inc. Hiring and recruitment flow through Careerplug, while Choice Local handles additional local marketing or presence functions. An Estimating Tool is also mandated, though the specific vendor is not named in the FDD extract. This stack leaves gaps in areas like field service management, customer communication, and analytics that are not explicitly filled by a mandated vendor, though any pitch must account for the existing FranConnect and QuickBooks integrations.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD does not include a procurement extract, so the formal supplier designation process—whether designated, approved, or open—is not disclosed. Renewal terms under Item 17 require franchisees to give timely written notice, be in compliance, sign the then-current Franchise Agreement (which may differ materially from the original), pay a renewal fee, update or replace vehicles, refurbish and modernize the business, meet current qualifications and training requirements, and sign a general release. The renewal term is 10 years. With 148 units and a 10-year cycle, a rough average of 15 units come up for renewal annually, creating recurring decision points where technology requirements could change. The recent negative unit growth suggests new-unit openings are not a reliable source of software expansion in the near term.
How to read the 360 Painting FDD
The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is the definitive source for understanding 360 Painting’s obligations, technology mandates, and executive structure. Item 1 identifies the leadership team. Item 11 details the mandated technology investments. Item 17 spells out renewal conditions that can reset software requirements. The embedded PDF viewer below contains the full filing. For vendors building a ranked target list of home-services franchises, the combination of HQ-driven purchasing, a known tech stack, and a concentrated unit base makes 360 Painting a straightforward account to qualify. To see how it compares against other franchise systems by decision-maker access, tech replacement potential, and unit economics, talk to FranCloud for a ranked target list.
