Fly Alliance operates in the automotive services sector with a headquarters in Florida. According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of 8 total units, all of which are company-owned. The number of franchised units is not disclosed. This structure means the entire addressable market for software vendors is concentrated in those 8 corporate locations. No year-over-year unit growth rate is provided, and average unit volume is not disclosed. The royalty rate is 10%, and the initial franchise term runs for 10 years.
The operator footprint is minimal: one mapped operator covers approximately one located unit, with a unit-band split showing a single unit in the 1-unit category and zero operators in multi-unit bands. The top state by unit count is Hawaii, with one unit. This tight footprint suggests a centralized decision-making process, with software purchasing likely handled at the corporate level rather than by individual franchisees.
The 2025 FDD lists Kevin Wargo as the agent for service of process in Item 1. No additional executives—such as a CIO, CTO, or VP of IT—are named in the filing. For vendors, this means the initial point of contact for any software pitch would logically route through corporate leadership, with Wargo as the only named individual on file. Because all 8 units are company-owned, there is no multi-unit franchisee layer to navigate; the buying center is entirely at headquarters.
Fly Alliance mandates three technology components, all proprietary: Fly Alliance Information Systems, a Fly Alliance intranet, and a Fly Alliance outsourced web hosting service. These are required for all units, as disclosed in the FDD. No third-party POS, CRM, or operational software vendors are named, which may indicate either a fully homegrown stack or a gap where third-party tools could be introduced if the franchisor is open to supplementation. Vendors should investigate whether the mandated Information Systems cover functions like scheduling, invoicing, or inventory, as those details are not specified in the FDD.
Item 8 of the FDD does not include a procurement extract, so the franchisor’s policy on designated versus approved suppliers is not publicly disclosed. This lack of transparency means vendors must engage directly with HQ to understand whether there is an open procurement process or if all purchasing is tightly controlled.
Renewal conditions, detailed in Item 17, provide some timing signals. Franchisees in good standing may enter into a successor agreement for an additional 10-year term, but they must comply with then-current standards, which can include repainting, re-decaling, re-equipping, and replacing mobile units that exceed 150,000 miles. A renewal fee of 10% of the then-current initial franchise fee applies, and the successor agreement may contain materially different terms. With only 8 units and a 10-year term, natural contract renewal windows are infrequent, but any upcoming renewals could be a trigger for software evaluation if the franchisor mandates system updates as part of the renewal conditions.
The 2025 Fly Alliance FDD is embedded below for direct review. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the full legal disclosures, including Item 1 executives, Item 11 tech mandates, Item 8 procurement (if any), and Item 17 renewal terms. Reading the source document is the most reliable way to verify the unit count, royalty structure, and decision-maker names before building a sales case. For vendors targeting automotive services franchisors, Fly Alliance represents a small, centralized opportunity where a single corporate relationship could unlock the entire system. To find more franchise systems matched to your software category, FranCloud can generate a ranked target list based on tech mandates, unit growth, and decision-maker concentration.
