Questions vendors ask
MultiVista Systems, answered from the filing
Purchasing for the laser-scanning and UAV equipment packages routes through the franchisor, which designates the required software for each package. Item 2 covers the franchisor's officers and directors, who set that purchasing policy; the network itself is held by parent Leica Geosystems.
As part of the RTC360 3D laser-scanning equipment package, the FDD requires a tablet computer, a laptop or desktop, and software the franchisor designates, plus designated UAV apps and software. It also requires a Salesforce license per user, at $1,432 a year, from Salesforce.com.
69 units (64 franchised, 5 company- and affiliate-owned) in professional services, run by 44 mapped operators, 12 of them multi-unit, concentrated in Georgia, California, Florida, Massachusetts, and Ohio.
MultiVista Systems runs an approved-supplier-list model: the franchisor provides a list of approved, required and preferred suppliers, Voyansi supplies the Scan to Plan, Scan to BIM and Floor Flatness services, and hosting plus Hexagon MDS licensing run through the franchisor.
Franchisees in full compliance may acquire a successor franchise for the term in the then-current Franchise Agreement, subject to a release and a renewal fee. Franchised outlets fell 7.246% year over year, which points toward incumbent-vendor displacement inside the existing 69-unit base as the nearer-term opening.
