Multi-State FDD April 8, 2024 Note 7: Tow Vehicle – You must either lease, purchase or have access to a vehicle (“Tow Vehicle”) capable of towing your Trailer to customer locations. We currently do not require a specific make or model for your Tow Vehicle. However, your Tow Vehicle must be in relatively new condition, must have sufficient towing capacity to transport approximately 15,000 lbs., and must meet all other standards and specifications that we prescribe. The required towing capacity of your Tow Vehicle will vary depending on the terrain and elevations in your Operating Territory. Your Tow Vehicle must be branded and wrapped at all times in accordance with our brand requirements, standards and specifications. Your Tow Vehicle must also be registered and insured as a commercial vehicle or otherwise, as may be required in your jurisdiction. You must also operate your tow vehicle and any trailer in accordance with all federal, local, municipal, county and state laws, regulations, requirements and ordinances. The low end of this estimate ($0) anticipates that you already own a suitable Tow Vehicle that meets our standards and specifications and that you will not need to purchase or lease a Tow Vehicle for your AcuSpray Business. The high end of this estimate assumes that you will purchase a new Tow Vehicle valued at $75,000. These estimates are based on our experience in the industry. You will be required to incur fees and charges for fuel and vehicle cleaning and maintenance. On-going fuel charges and vehicle maintenance charges are not included in this estimate. These payments will be an on-going expense throughout the operation of your AcuSpray Business. Your costs may also vary depending on the type make and model of the vehicle you chose.

The vendor opportunity at AcuSpray

AcuSpray presents a narrow but clearly defined opportunity for software vendors. The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document reports exactly one total unit, which is company-owned. The number of franchised units is not disclosed, and year-over-year unit growth is not available in the FDD. For a SaaS vendor, this means the addressable market is a single location — but one with a fully mandated, modern tech stack that reveals exactly which systems are in place and where gaps may exist.

The brand operates in the home services segment and is headquartered in Texas. That control extends to technology: the FDD mandates several specific systems, giving vendors a clear map of the current environment.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing decisions at AcuSpray are centralized at the corporate level. The FDD’s Item 1 lists three executives: Jeff Bickley, Chief Executive Officer; Aaron Duval, Chief Operating Officer; and Chris Wielinski, Chief Marketing Officer. For any vendor pitching a new tool or integration, these three individuals represent the likely buying center. The CEO and COO will be most relevant for operational and financial software, while the CMO may weigh in on customer-facing or marketing technology.

Because the system consists of a single company-owned unit, there is no franchisee-level purchasing autonomy. Every software decision flows through this small HQ team. That simplifies the sales process but also raises the bar: you need to convince a tight-knit leadership group that your solution is worth switching from or integrating with their existing mandated stack.

Mandated and current tech stack

AcuSpray’s 2024 FDD mandates four named systems. Jobber is the field service management platform, covering scheduling, invoicing, and client management. For accounting, the franchisor requires both QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. and QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc., indicating a possible dual-environment setup or a transition in progress. RTK Mobile Station is also mandated, likely serving as a mobile point-of-sale or field data capture tool. Finally, WeBoost Drive Reach Overland is mandated for vehicle-based cellular signal boosting, ensuring connectivity for field technicians.

This stack is practical and modern, but it also creates specific vendor opportunities. A vendor selling ERP, payroll, or advanced analytics would need to integrate with QuickBooks and Jobber. A vendor offering alternative field service management would need to displace Jobber, which is deeply embedded. The presence of both QuickBooks desktop and online versions may signal a migration moment where cloud-based add-ons could gain traction.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the formal procurement model — whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open — is not publicly disclosed. Vendors should approach AcuSpray directly to understand their supplier qualification process.

Renewal timing is governed by Item 17. The initial franchise term is 5 years, and renewal requires 180 days’ prior written notice, compliance with the current agreement, signing the then-current form of franchise agreement, a general release, a renewal fee, and personal guarantees from the owners. For a software vendor, the most actionable insight is the 5-year term and the 180-day notice window. If the single unit is approaching its renewal date, that six-month window before expiration could be a natural moment for the franchisor to reevaluate its tech stack. However, with no disclosed unit growth and no operator footprint mapped in our corpus, there is no broader cycle of new-unit openings to target.

How to read the AcuSpray FDD

The 2024 AcuSpray FDD is embedded below for full reference. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives and business background), Item 11 (mandated systems and suppliers), and Item 17 (renewal and term conditions). Because the system is so small, the FDD is unusually concise, but every mandated vendor name and HQ contact is a direct signal for your outreach. For a ranked target list of franchise systems matched to your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize where to aim your next pitch.

Questions vendors ask

AcuSpray, answered from the filing

The FDD lists Jeff Bickley (CEO), Aaron Duval (COO), and Chris Wielinski (CMO) as key executives. These three likely form the core buying center for any software evaluation.
AcuSpray mandates Jobber for field service management, QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online for accounting, RTK Mobile Station, and WeBoost Drive Reach Overland for connectivity.
The 2024 FDD reports one total unit, which is company-owned. The number of franchised units is not disclosed, suggesting a very early-stage or single-unit franchise system.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the designated vs. approved supplier model is not publicly known. Vendors should inquire directly about procurement rules.
The initial term is 5 years, and renewal requires 180 days' written notice. With only one unit and no disclosed growth, contract windows are likely tied to the single location's renewal cycle.
The 2024 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can view it directly in the embedded PDF viewer below for full details on Item 11 mandates and executive disclosures.
