The vendor opportunity at NPR Auto Group
NPR Auto Group operates 35 franchised automotive service locations, all under a single brand with no parent company on file. The system is concentrated in six states, with the heaviest density in Florida (8), California (5), and New Jersey (5). Wyoming adds 3 units, and Pennsylvania 1. This is a compact, regionally clustered network—not a sprawling national chain—so a software vendor’s addressable market is exactly 35 locations.
Year-over-year unit growth sits at -2.778%, indicating slight contraction. For vendors, this means the primary sales motion is replacement and upgrade of existing systems, not greenfield deployments. The royalty rate is 4.0%, but average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the FDD. The initial franchise term length is also not disclosed, which limits visibility into renewal-driven refresh cycles.
Who controls software purchasing
Decision-making authority rests at the headquarters level. The 2025 FDD lists five executives: President Michael DeLorenzo, Vice-President Jason Manelli, and Directors David Jenkins, Robert Smith, and Gregg Steinbarth. In a system this size, the President and Vice-President are the most likely buyers for any enterprise software that touches operations, POS, or back-office functions. There is no CIO or CTO title on file, so the buying center is lean and generalist-led.
The operator footprint shows 31 distinct franchisees, only two of whom are multi-unit operators (each in the 2–9 unit band). The remaining 29 are single-unit owners. This structure reinforces HQ’s control: with so many single-unit operators, franchisor mandates carry significant weight, and individual franchisees are unlikely to run independent software evaluations.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only technology explicitly mandated in the FDD is the ASAP Computer System. The FDD lists both “ASAP” and “ASAP Computer System” as mandated, which likely refer to the same platform. No other POS, ERP, CRM, or operational software is named as mandated or recommended. This creates a clear wedge for vendors whose products complement or replace the ASAP environment—particularly in areas like customer engagement, scheduling, inventory, or analytics that sit outside the core mandated system.
Because the tech stack is thin on paper, the real installed base may include additional tools adopted at the unit level. However, any vendor pitch should assume ASAP is the system of record and plan integration or displacement accordingly.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically discloses procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, did not yield an extract in the latest filing. Without that signal, it is unknown whether NPR Auto Group operates a closed supplier list, an approved-vendor program, or an open procurement model. Vendors should prepare for a range of scenarios and be ready to justify their solution on both compliance and operational grounds.
Item 17, covering renewal, merger, and transfer terms, also produced no extract. Combined with the undisclosed initial term length, this makes it difficult to predict when franchise agreements come up for renewal—a common trigger for technology re-evaluation. The slight unit decline may also signal a period of internal consolidation rather than expansion, which can delay new software investments but accelerate efforts to improve efficiency through better tools.
How to read the NPR Auto Group FDD
The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is the primary source for all the data above. It is filed with state franchise regulators and available in the embedded viewer on this page. When reviewing it, pay close attention to Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations) for any updates to the mandated ASAP system, and Item 8 for any procurement restrictions that may have been added since the last extract. The executive roster in Item 1 is your starting point for outreach.

There are 35 franchised units. The number of company-owned units is not disclosed. Unit growth declined by 2.778% year-over-year.
The FDD does not extract a procurement signal from Item 8, so the model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly disclosed.
The initial franchise term length and Item 17 renewal signals are not disclosed in the FDD, making contract-cycle timing difficult to estimate without direct outreach.
