HPB Lighting
Home servicesSoftware purchasing at HPB Lighting is controlled at the corporate level, with Group President Suave Brachowski and CEO Anthony Hulbert among the key decision-makers named in the 2026 FDD. The franchise mandates three systems—an e-CCM platform, an intranet, and QuickBooks by Intuit—across its 78-unit network. With average unit volume near $488,000 and a home-services footprint concentrated around Nebraska, vendors face a compact but tech-mandated target.

The vendor opportunity at HPB Lighting
HPB Lighting operates 78 franchised units, all within the home-services segment and headquartered in Nebraska. The 2026 FDD reports average unit volume of $488,253, giving software vendors a total addressable market of 78 locations with a clear HQ-driven purchasing structure. Unit count contracted by roughly 26.4% year-over-year, so the network is tightening—but that also means the remaining operators may be more receptive to tools that improve efficiency or compliance. No company-owned units are disclosed, and no parent company appears on file; HPB Lighting seems to be independently owned.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2026 FDD Item 1 names five executives: Group President Suave Brachowski, Chief Executive Officer Anthony “Tony” Hulbert, President Donald Conway, Vice President of Franchise Development Courtney Reppert, and Director of Franchise Development Jessica Shipley. For a vendor, Brachowski and Hulbert are the most likely software buying-center leads, with Reppert and Shipley influencing franchisee-facing tools. Because the franchisor mandates specific systems, purchasing authority sits at HQ rather than with individual franchisees. If you sell operational or financial software, your first call should be to the Group President or CEO.
Mandated and current tech stack
HPB Lighting mandates three systems across its network: an e-CCM system, an intranet system, and QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. The e-CCM mandate signals a need for customer communication management—likely scheduling, dispatch, or customer portal functions. The intranet requirement points to internal communications or document sharing. QuickBooks handles accounting. No other mandated POS, CRM, or ERP platforms are named in the FDD, which leaves room for complementary tools in areas like field-service management, inventory, or HR, provided they integrate with QuickBooks and the existing e-CCM environment.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so HPB Lighting’s procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Likewise, Item 17 renewal data is absent, and the initial franchise term is not disclosed. Without renewal-cycle visibility or recent technology RFPs on file, vendors cannot pinpoint a predictable contract window. The best approach is to monitor leadership changes or public announcements from the HQ team in Nebraska and to engage directly with the named executives.
How to read the HPB Lighting FDD
The full HPB Lighting Franchise Disclosure Document, filed with state franchise regulators in 2026, is embedded below. Item 1 lists the executives who control purchasing. Item 11 discloses the three mandated systems. Items 8 and 17 are not extracted in our corpus, so procurement rules and renewal timing remain opaque. For software vendors, the FDD confirms a small, HQ-controlled network with specific tech mandates—enough to qualify the opportunity before you invest in a pitch.
