From the filings

Item 11 of the FDD sets its technology requirements, and the addressable opportunity sits at HQ, one franchise agreement away from a system-wide standard.

DCMV Service operates 156 franchised units, all home-services, with unit count up 10.6% year over year. The FDD makes a financial performance representation. As part of Bobcat Holdings Group, DCMV Service sits alongside sibling brands Kramerica Enterprises, Koala Insulation, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, FRSTeam, Intelligent Office, and Jan-Pro — a multibrand parent that may set procurement patterns across the portfolio.
Randolph Ivey, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, is the officer named in Item 2. The operator base is entirely single-unit: 31 mapped operators across 31 located units, with no multi-unit operators recorded. That structure points to HQ, not the field, as the buying center for any system-wide technology decision.
Item 11 of the FDD sets DCMV Service's technology requirements; the filing below has the specifics of what's mandated.
Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list model: franchisees purchase equipment, chemicals, supplies, and advertising materials only from suppliers the franchisor has approved, and the franchisor may designate itself or an affiliate as a supplier. The Initial Equipment Package can come from the franchisor or an approved third party that meets specifications, and franchisees may propose a supplier for approval. Item 17 sets a 10-year renewal term, conditioned on 6-12 months' written notice, resolved compliance, current amounts paid, signing the then-current franchise agreement, meeting current qualifications, paying a renewal fee, and signing a general release.
