HQ-led decisions

Archive Franchise Network

Home services

Software purchasing at Archive Franchise Network is controlled at the HQ level, with Founder and President/CEO Eric W. Ten Eyck and Director of Training Justin Kitamura listed as key executives in the 2024 FDD. The system mandates a proprietary software program, a specified accounting software, and an ARCHIVE Contents System, among other tools. With only 3 total units (2 franchised, 1 company-owned), the addressable market is extremely small.

The vendor opportunity at Archive Franchise Network

Archive Franchise Network is a home-services franchise based in California with a total footprint of just 3 units—2 franchised and 1 company-owned. For a software vendor, the addressable market is exceptionally small. The system reported no year-over-year unit growth in the most recent disclosure, and no average unit volume (AUV) is available. Royalties run at 7.0%, but the initial term length is not disclosed in the 2024 FDD. The operator base consists of a single mapped operator with one location in Indiana, and no multi-unit operators are on file. This is not a high-volume target, but it is a system where every unit matters if you can win the HQ relationship.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2024 FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Eric W. Ten Eyck, Founder and President/CEO, and Justin Kitamura, Director of Training. In a system this small, software purchasing authority almost certainly sits with Ten Eyck. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology named. Vendors should expect a direct, founder-led decision process with little to no delegation. The training director may influence tools that affect franchisee onboarding and operations, but the final sign-off likely rests with the CEO.

Mandated and current tech stack

Archive Franchise Network mandates several technology systems for its franchisees. The FDD explicitly lists an ARCHIVE Contents System, claim estimation software, inventory management software, a Proprietary Software Program, and specified accounting software as required. No third-party vendor names are disclosed for any of these categories—the systems appear to be internally designated or proprietary. This means a vendor selling into this network would need to displace an existing mandated tool, which requires a compelling case at the HQ level. The absence of a named POS or CRM vendor suggests those categories may be open, but the FDD does not confirm this.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Procurement rules are not detailed in the available FDD extract. Item 8, which typically describes whether the franchisor designates suppliers, approves suppliers, or leaves purchasing open, provided no data. Similarly, Item 17 on renewal, transfer, and termination offered no extract, so contract windows and renewal cycles remain unknown. The initial franchise term is also not disclosed. For a vendor, this means there is no public signal on when a software review or RFP might occur. The best approach is a direct, relationship-based pitch to the founder, given the tiny unit count and centralized control.

How to read the Archive Franchise Network FDD

The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document is the authoritative source for unit counts, executive contacts, mandated technology, and financial performance representations (if any). In this case, the FDD confirms a 3-unit system with no AUV disclosure, a 7.0% royalty, and a tight set of mandated operational software. The document was filed with state franchise regulators and is available in the embedded viewer on this page. Review Item 11 for the full list of franchisor obligations around technology, and cross-check Item 1 for the most current executive roster before reaching out.
