Duraclean INTERNATIONAL INC. operates a home services franchise system with 102 total units, of which 92 are franchised and 10 are company-owned. The brand’s most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, filed in 2025, shows a year-over-year unit decline of 3.158%, indicating a consolidating footprint. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is those 102 locations, all of which operate under a mandated technology platform. The royalty rate stands at 8.0%, and the initial franchise term is five years. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the FDD.
Technology purchasing authority sits at the headquarters level. The FDD identifies Vincent J. Caffarello as Chairman, CEO, and Treasurer, and Danielle Canup as President and Chief Operating Officer. David Marienau serves as Vice President, and David Delgado is the Field Supervisor. For a vendor pitching an enterprise-wide or system-wide tool, Caffarello and Canup are the likely economic buyers. The presence of a Field Supervisor suggests operational feedback may influence decisions, but ultimate approval rests with the C-suite. No parent company is on file; the entity appears independently owned.
The system mandates Duraclean Software. The FDD does not name any additional point-of-sale, CRM, scheduling, or accounting vendors. This means Duraclean Software is the operational backbone across all franchised and company-owned units. Vendors offering complementary solutions—such as marketing automation, reputation management, or advanced analytics—must plan for integration with this mandated platform. Those offering a replacement core operating system face a displacement sale requiring HQ-level buy-in.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the formal procurement model—whether the franchisor designates specific suppliers, maintains an approved vendor list, or allows open purchasing—is not disclosed. Renewal terms, drawn from Item 17, state that a franchisee in good standing may renew every five years for an additional five-year term by signing a new agreement with conditions not materially different from the original. These five-year cycles create natural inflection points when franchisees and the franchisor may reassess technology commitments. The most recent FDD year is 2025, making the current disclosure window the freshest intelligence available.
The full 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (officers and ownership), Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations, where mandated tech is listed), Item 8 (procurement restrictions, though absent here), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). Because no operator footprint is mapped in our corpus and no parent company is recorded, the independent nature of the brand means decisions are concentrated at the Illinois headquarters.
