Next Day Access

The vendor opportunity at Next Day Access

Next Day Access operates 91 franchised locations, all of which represent addressable units for software vendors. The brand does not disclose any company-owned units in its 2026 FDD, meaning every location is a potential target for a franchise-level or HQ-mandated software sale. Average unit volume sits at $1,343,250, and the royalty rate is 8.0%. With year-over-year unit growth of 82%, the system is expanding quickly, which often correlates with new technology evaluation cycles.

The home services segment is operationally intensive, and Next Day Access’s focus on accessibility products means field service management, scheduling, and inventory control are likely pain points. The mandated use of Jobber confirms that the franchisor already centralizes at least one core operational function. For vendors selling adjacent or complementary software—such as CRM, ERP, or specialized inventory management—the presence of a single mandated platform creates both integration opportunities and competitive displacement angles.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing authority at Next Day Access rests at the franchisor level. The 2026 FDD lists J.J. Sorrenti as Chief Executive Officer and Kevin Vesely as Chief Financial Officer. Both are likely involved in major technology decisions, with Sorrenti setting strategic direction and Vesely overseeing budget and vendor contracts. Jennifer LoBianco, Chief Marketing Officer, may influence marketing technology and customer engagement tools. Michele Popelka, Brand President, and David Tarr, Vice President of Franchise Development, round out the executive team but are less likely to be direct software buyers unless the tool impacts franchisee onboarding or brand consistency.

Because the system is 100% franchised and mandates Jobber, the franchisor likely evaluates and approves any new technology that touches franchisee operations. Vendors should prepare to engage HQ first, with a clear value proposition that aligns with the brand’s rapid scaling and operational standardization goals.

Mandated and current tech stack

Jobber is the only technology system named as mandated in the 2026 FDD. Jobber is a field service management platform that covers scheduling, invoicing, and client communication. This means Next Day Access franchisees are already accustomed to using a centralized, franchisor-selected tool for daily operations.

No other mandated or recommended systems appear in the FDD disclosures. This absence suggests that areas like accounting, payroll, inventory management, or marketing automation may be open to vendor competition, either at the HQ level or through franchisee discretion. Vendors should note that the lack of a named system does not guarantee an opening—it simply means the FDD does not specify one. Direct discovery with the executive team is necessary to map the full tech stack.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The 2026 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly specified. This makes it difficult to determine if franchisees must buy from a specific vendor list or if they have autonomy. In practice, the Jobber mandate suggests the franchisor is willing to enforce technology standards, which may extend to other categories.

Contract renewal timing is also opaque. The initial term length is not disclosed in the FDD, and the only renewal signal is a condition requiring franchisees to sign a release upon renewal. Without a stated term in years, it is impossible to predict when franchise agreements come up for renewal and, by extension, when technology contract windows might open. Vendors should monitor the brand’s expansion cadence—82% unit growth suggests new locations are opening frequently, and new franchisees often represent fresh software buying opportunities.
