Jabz Boxing
FitnessSoftware purchasing at Jabz Boxing is controlled at the headquarters level, with Brand President Bertus Albertse and COO Artemis Benedetti among the key executives.

The vendor opportunity at Jabz Boxing
Jabz Boxing is a small fitness franchise concept headquartered in Michigan. With only 13 total units—12 franchised and 1 company-owned—the immediate addressable market for software vendors is extremely limited. The franchisor is part of Jabz Holdings, LLC. No average unit volume (AUV) or year-over-year unit growth rate was disclosed in the most recent 2023 FDD. For a vendor, this is not a volume play; it is an account-based opportunity where landing the franchisor as a customer could mean capturing the entire system.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing control sits firmly at the headquarters level. The 2023 FDD lists Bertus Albertse as Brand President and Artemis Benedetti as Chief Operating Officer. These are the likely buying-center contacts for any enterprise software pitch. Erin Seaboyer, Vice President of Franchise Services, and Danielle Scott in Franchise Development round out the named executives. Because the franchisor mandates a specific technology stack, franchisees have little to no autonomy in selecting core operational software. A vendor must sell HQ first.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD is unusually specific about mandated technology. Jabz Boxing requires franchisees to use Mindbody by Mindbody, Inc. for business management. QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. is mandated for accounting. Uptivo Trackers are required, likely for heart-rate or performance monitoring in workouts. Order.co is mandated for procurement. The franchisor also mandates a Jabz-branded app and associated management services, along with a sales CRM and Messenger AI. This is a locked-down environment. Any vendor pitching a replacement for Mindbody or QuickBooks faces a high switching cost and must convince HQ to change a system-wide mandate.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include a specific Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal supplier designation process is not publicly detailed. However, the list of mandated vendors strongly implies a designated-supplier model. The initial franchise agreement term is 10 years, with a 5-year renewal option. Renewal conditions are standard: franchisees must not be in default, must sign the then-current agreement, pay a renewal fee, remodel the studio to current standards, and extend their lease. These renewal events, spaced years apart, represent natural moments when software contracts might be reviewed or renegotiated. With no disclosed unit growth, new studio openings are the other primary trigger for software sales.
How to read the Jabz Boxing FDD
The 2023 Jabz Boxing Franchise Disclosure Document is the definitive source for understanding the legal and operational constraints on this franchise system. It details the mandated technology, executive team, and contractual terms that govern every franchisee. For a software vendor, the FDD reveals exactly which systems are entrenched and where a displacement opportunity might exist. The full document is embedded below for your review. When you need a ranked list of franchise targets based on tech stack vulnerability and decision-maker access, FranCloud builds that list from FDD data like this.
Questions vendors ask
Jabz Boxing, answered from the filing
Key executives include Bertus Albertse (Brand President) and Artemis Benedetti (COO). Given the mandated tech stack, purchasing decisions are centralized at HQ, not left to individual franchisees.
The 2023 FDD mandates Mindbody for business management, QuickBooks Online for accounting, Uptivo Trackers, Order.co for procurement, and a Jabz-branded app with management services.
Jabz Boxing has 13 total units, consisting of 12 franchised locations and 1 company-owned studio. This is a very small, emerging fitness franchise concept.
The procurement model is not explicitly detailed in the available FDD extracts. The mandate of specific systems like Order.co suggests a designated or tightly controlled supplier model for certain spend categories.
The initial franchise term is 10 years, with a 5-year renewal. With only 13 units and no disclosed growth rate, contract windows are likely infrequent and tied to new unit openings or renewal cycles.
