From the filings
Software purchasing at Accelerated Services Franchise is controlled at the headquarters level, with President Fred Tomlin, Jr. and COO Sherrod Hunter listed as key executives in the 2025 FDD. The system currently mandates the C.A.R.E. platform and the JUNK SHOT 360 mobile app across its 36 total units. With 32 franchised locations and a 23% year-over-year unit growth rate, the addressable market is small but expanding quickly for vendors who can align with the franchisor’s centralized tech requirements.

Who buys here
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.
The franchisor's owner/CEO decides; an ops or franchise-development lead may evaluate.
Accelerated Services Franchise is a home services concept headquartered in Florida with 36 total units, of which 32 are franchised and 4 are company-owned. The system reported an average unit volume of $436,539 in its 2025 FDD and grew its unit count by 23% year-over-year. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is modest—36 locations—but the growth trajectory and centralized purchasing model mean a single HQ relationship can unlock the entire system.
The royalty rate is 7%, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. These economics give franchisees a long horizon to amortize technology investments, but they also mean the franchisor has strong incentives to standardize operations through mandated software. Vendors who can demonstrate ROI against a $436K AUV base will find a receptive audience if they reach the right decision-makers.
The 2025 FDD identifies three executives in Item 1: Fred Tomlin, Jr., listed as President of DOORSTEP DETAILS; Sherrod Hunter, Chief Operating Officer and President of JUNK SHOT; and Todd Leonard, Vice President of Franchise Development. The presence of both a COO and a VP of Franchise Development at the HQ level signals that technology decisions are made centrally rather than delegated to individual franchisees. Vendors should direct their outreach to Sherrod Hunter as the operational lead most likely to evaluate software that touches field service execution, while Todd Leonard may influence tools that support franchisee onboarding and compliance.
No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, which further reinforces the HQ-centric buying pattern. Without large franchisee groups exerting independent purchasing power, the franchisor’s mandates carry full weight across all 32 franchised locations.
The 2025 FDD mandates two named systems: C.A.R.E. and the JUNK SHOT 360 mobile app. C.A.R.E. likely serves as the operational backbone—potentially handling scheduling, customer management, or job tracking—while JUNK SHOT 360 appears to be a field-execution mobile application tied to the brand’s service delivery. No other POS, CRM, or ERP vendors are disclosed in the current filing.
For software vendors, this creates both a constraint and an opening. The mandated stack covers core operations, but gaps may exist in areas like marketing automation, financial reporting, inventory management, or franchisee training platforms. Any solution that integrates with or complements C.A.R.E. and JUNK SHOT 360 without conflicting with the franchisor’s mandates stands a stronger chance of adoption.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal purchasing model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not disclosed. In practice, the existence of mandated technology suggests a closed or highly controlled procurement environment. Vendors should assume that HQ must approve any software deployed at the unit level.
Renewal conditions in Item 17 provide natural windows for technology evaluation. Franchisees seeking to renew must update and refurbish their service vehicles and equipment, comply with current qualifications, and sign the then-current franchise agreement—which may impose higher royalties and marketing contributions. These requirements create periodic moments when franchisees are already budgeting for capital expenditures, making them more open to software upgrades that improve efficiency or justify the higher ongoing fees. Renewal terms are available for 10 years or 5 years, and the initial 10-year term means a cohort of franchisees will approach their first renewal decision roughly a decade after signing.
The full 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (Franchisor’s Obligations), which details the mandated C.A.R.E. and JUNK SHOT 360 systems, and Item 17 (Renewal, Termination, Transfer), which outlines the conditions franchisees must meet to renew—including equipment updates that may trigger technology refreshes. Item 1 identifies the executives who control purchasing, and Item 19 (if present) provides the financial performance representations that underpin the $436,539 AUV figure. Review these sections to build a precise picture of the buying center and the operational pain points your software can address.
