OccMed Connect

The vendor opportunity at OccMed Connect

OccMed Connect operates a compact, fully corporate-owned network of 10 locations in the health services sector, headquartered in Michigan. For software vendors, the opportunity is defined by a centralized purchasing structure and a clearly mandated technology stack. With no franchised units reported in the 2026 FDD, the entire addressable market consists of these 10 company-owned sites. The system’s average unit volume is not disclosed, and year-over-year unit growth data is unavailable. The royalty rate stands at 7.0%, and the initial franchise term is 10 years, though this applies only if the franchisor begins selling franchises in the future.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority is concentrated at the headquarters level. The 2026 FDD identifies four executives in Item 1: Ali Hassan, Chief Executive Officer; Ali Ayoub, Director of Operations; Raul Villareal, Chief Marketing Officer and Franchise Support Director; and Diana Mandock-Davis, Director of Occupational Health Services. For a software vendor, the most direct path into the buying center likely runs through Ali Ayoub, whose operational oversight typically includes technology and workflow systems, and Ali Hassan, who holds ultimate budgetary authority as CEO. No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing that all procurement decisions flow through this corporate team.

Mandated and current tech stack

The FDD mandates two specific systems: OccMed Connect and Systoc. These are not optional or recommended; they are required across the network. OccMed Connect likely serves as the brand’s proprietary or namesake platform, while Systoc is a well-known occupational health and urgent care information system. For vendors selling adjacent or complementary software—such as billing, patient engagement, or workforce management tools—this mandated stack means any pitch must address integration with or displacement of these entrenched systems. The presence of a mandated tech stack also signals that the franchisor is willing to enforce technology standards from the top down.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The procurement model is not detailed in the available FDD extract. Item 8, which would normally clarify whether the franchisor designates exclusive suppliers, maintains an approved vendor list, or allows open purchasing, provided no data in our corpus. This gap means vendors should prepare for a range of scenarios, from a closed, franchisor-controlled supply chain to a more open environment. On renewals, Item 17 outlines a structured process: franchisees must provide 180 days’ prior written notice, sign the then-current form of Franchise Agreement, execute a general release, pay a renewal fee, and have owners personally guarantee the new agreement. The renewal term is 10 years, but the FDD explicitly warns that the new agreement “may contain terms materially different from your current Franchise Agreement.” For software vendors, this creates a potential trigger event—if the franchisor updates technology requirements at renewal, that window could open opportunities for new vendors.

The full 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. To evaluate OccMed Connect as a software sales target, focus on Item 11 for the complete mandated technology list and any additional recommended or optional systems not captured in our summary. Cross-reference Item 8 for supplier and procurement rules, which will determine whether you can sell directly to locations or must first secure franchisor approval. Item 1 provides the full executive roster and ownership structure, confirming that no parent company is on file and the system appears independently owned.
