The vendor opportunity at DRYmedic

DRYmedic operates 115 total locations—93 franchised and 22 company-owned—according to its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand reported average unit volume of $505,438 and year-over-year unit growth of 40.9%, signaling a rapidly expanding footprint. For software vendors, that expansion means new locations coming online that must be equipped with mandated technology, plus an existing base of franchisees whose systems are subject to renewal-driven upgrades every 10 years.

The franchisor collects a 7% royalty and maintains tight control over the tech environment. Because the brand mandates specific software platforms, the addressable market for a new vendor is not simply 115 units; it is the decision-making process at headquarters that can open or close access to all locations at once.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2026 FDD lists five executives in Item 1: Jason (“Jay”) Caiafa (Chief Executive Officer), Josh Greear (Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), Ryan Bowes (Chief Growth and Transformation Officer), Jordan Wilson (Chief Development Officer), and Julie Bernard (Interim Chief Marketing Officer). Technology mandates and operational software decisions are not delegated to individual franchisees. The CEO and CFO are the most likely approvers for enterprise-level software, while the Chief Growth and Transformation Officer may influence tools that affect unit economics or scalability. The Interim CMO may be a stakeholder for marketing or customer-facing platforms, but the FDD does not specify a dedicated CIO or VP of Technology.

Mandated and current tech stack

DRYmedic’s 2026 FDD mandates six named systems. DASH and DASH software serve as the core operational platform. DryLINK and a Franchisee Portal are also required, suggesting franchisee communication and compliance workflows are centralized. QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. handle accounting, while Qvinci provides financial reporting or benchmarking. Xactimate is mandated for estimating, a common requirement in restoration-adjacent home services. Any vendor pitching DRYmedic must address how their product integrates with or replaces one of these mandated components, or fills a gap the current stack does not cover.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement disclosure, so the formal supplier designation process—whether designated, approved, or open—is not publicly documented. Vendors should treat this as a direct-engagement opportunity: the absence of a published procurement framework means the path to becoming a preferred or mandated vendor runs through the HQ executives named above.

Renewal terms in Item 17 provide a structural window for technology change. Franchisees seeking a 10-year renewal must, among other conditions, “update computer systems and vehicles” and sign the then-current form of Franchise Agreement. That clause effectively allows the franchisor to require adoption of new or updated software at the point of renewal. With 93 franchised locations on 10-year agreements, a portion of the system will face renewal decisions each year, creating recurring opportunities for vendors whose products align with DRYmedic’s operational needs.
