12. Computer System/Point of Sale. You are required to use point of sale software approved by us and hardware approved by us and you are required to provide access to your accounting system through QuickBooks Online. The cost to purchase the required equipment and software will range from $1,500 to $2,500 depending on the type of franchise and hardware selection. We may be a vendor for certain computer/POS hardware or software. You will be given one 76 FENCE email address that must be monitored and managed by you and/or your Manager. The software for your point of sale system is commercially produced software but we retain the right to require you to use proprietary software in the future should it be developed. Current computer system requirements are also updated from time to time in the Operating Manual. As the current computer system requirements change, you may be required to upgrade or update your hardware and software. There are no restrictions on the frequency or the cost of upgrading; however, there is no current requirement to update, upgrade or support contracts for the computer systems. Therefore, there is no annual cost to update any optional or required maintenance updating, upgrading or support contracts for the computer systems. You agree to maintain a connection of your POS System to the internet and pay all expenses including hardware and software licenses to maintain that connection. You must have access to a computer loaded with Excel and Word, or which can export into Excel or Word-compatible files. You must make available to us in the format we request the data from your POS and computer system, or otherwise, if we request, at your expense, allow us to directly connect to your system. (Franchise Agreement, Section 11(m) and (o)). The data stored in your POS and computer system that we are granted access to is the data that you input into the company’s designated field service management software. This software, rather than the device itself, stores and manages data such as customer information, project specifications, pricing estimates, invoices, scheduling information, and operational records. We will have independent access to the information generated and stored in the systems. If you fail to provide us with access, we may charge a fee of $250 per month until you provide us with access.

The vendor opportunity at 76 Fence
76 Fence operates 12 total units—11 franchised and 1 company-owned—in the home services segment, with headquarters in Pennsylvania. No Item 19 financial performance representation is made in the filing, so no average unit volume figure is available for the cohort the FDD defines.
For software vendors, the addressable market is small but concentrated: 11 franchised locations plus one company-owned unit, all governed by a single franchisor with centralized procurement control.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Ed Samane as President and Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Brouillette as Founder and Vice President, Michael Mercado as Chief Operating Officer, Judimarie Thomas as Vice President of Communications, and John Simon as Vice President of Strategic Development. The FDD does not identify a dedicated CIO or technology buyer, but the franchisor's approval authority over all supplies and equipment means purchasing decisions flow through HQ.
Item 8 states: "You must purchase all supplies and equipment you use in the Franchised Business from us or from vendors we approve." Where the franchisor has designated only one approved supplier, franchisees must use that supplier. Franchisees may propose a supplier for approval, but the franchisor retains final say.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 mandates QuickBooks Online by Intuit: franchisees are "required to provide access to your accounting system through QuickBooks Online." The filing also names Facebook by Meta, Instagram by Meta, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube by Google, Twitter by X, and QuickBooks by Intuit (desktop) as in use or named in the filing. The FDD does not describe any of these social or desktop accounting platforms as required.
The filing's technology requirements state: "You are required to use point of sale software approved by us and hardware approved by us." It also notes that "as the current computer system requirements change, you may be required to upgrade or update your hardware and software," and that "certain hardware or software may be required to be purchased from us" in the future. Franchisees may also be required to pay an authorized vendor a monthly technology fee for support and maintenance, plus additional amounts for digital marketing.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 establishes a designated-supplier model. Franchisees must purchase all supplies and equipment from the franchisor or approved vendors. The franchisor is not currently an approved supplier, but the FDD states that "in the future, certain hardware or software may be required to be purchased from us." Franchisees may propose suppliers for approval, and the franchisor does not currently receive rebates from approved suppliers.
Item 17 provides for two 10-year renewal terms, subject to conditions including no default, no past-due amounts, execution of the then-current Franchise Agreement, and renovation or re-equipping of the business. The then-current agreement "may contain materially different business terms than your initial agreement," creating potential software re-evaluation points at each renewal.
