- Teams spend weeks manually combing through FDDs to assess unit counts and financials across 554 active home services brands.Replacing manual FDD research with instant corpus search saves 15+ hours per brand evaluation, allowing your team to assess 10x more targets and accelerate pipeline velocity by 30%.
- Without instant access to AUV data, you cannot gauge franchisee ROI or brand health across 239 disclosed home services brands.Seeing median AUV of $661,803.61 at a glance lets you prioritize brands with strong unit economics, increasing win rates by focusing on financially healthy targets and avoiding low-ROI pursuits.
The vendor opportunity at Screenmobile
Screenmobile operates 138 franchised locations in the home-services category, with no company-owned units disclosed in the 2026 FDD. The system grew units by roughly 2.99% year-over-year, adding a handful of new operators annually. Average unit volume sits at $483,885, and franchisees pay a 7.0% royalty on a 10-year initial term. For a software vendor, the total addressable base is 138 locations—small enough that an HQ-led mandate can move quickly, but large enough to matter if you sell into home-services fleets.
The buyer is concentrated at headquarters. There is no parent company, no private-equity layer, and no multi-unit operator data in our corpus. That means the path to adoption runs through a small executive team, not a decentralized network of large franchisees.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2026 FDD lists five HQ executives: Jason (“Jay”) Caiafa (Chief Executive Officer), Josh Greear (Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), Ryan Bowes (Chief Growth and Transformation Officer), Jordan Wilson (Chief Development Officer), and Julie Bernard (Interim Chief Marketing Officer). No chief information or technology officer is named. In practice, software decisions likely sit with the CEO and CFO, given the system’s size and the absence of a dedicated IT buyer. The Chief Growth and Transformation Officer may also influence operational tools that touch unit-level efficiency.
Vendors should expect a finance-conscious evaluation. With a 7.0% royalty and a $483,885 AUV, franchisee margins are tight enough that any new software cost will be scrutinized for ROI. Pitch decks should speak to unit-level economics and ease of deployment across a mobile-services fleet.
Mandated and current tech stack
Screenmobile mandates two systems: a proprietary franchisee portal and QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. The portal likely handles reporting, brand communications, and possibly scheduling or lead distribution, though the FDD does not detail its feature set. QuickBooks serves as the mandated accounting backbone, which means any software that integrates with QuickBooks Online or Desktop has a natural entry point.
No other operational or point-of-sale systems are named in the FDD. That absence is itself a signal: field-service management, CRM, inventory, and route optimization are likely open territory, chosen by individual franchisees or not yet standardized. A vendor that can demonstrate seamless QuickBooks integration and a clear operational uplift has a credible story to tell.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD does not include a procurement extract in our data, so the franchisor’s posture on designated versus approved suppliers is not publicly clear. In practice, many systems of this size operate an open procurement model unless a specific vendor is mandated. Vendors should confirm directly during discovery.
Renewal conditions in Item 17 offer a timing signal. Franchisees must “update computer systems and vehicles” at renewal, sign the then-current franchise agreement, and meet training requirements. With a 10-year term and a small but growing unit count, renewal-driven tech refreshes create periodic windows. New-unit openings—roughly four per year at the current growth rate—offer additional onboarding moments. The requirement to remodel or refurbish premises and vehicles at renewal also suggests that mobile-tech upgrades (tablets, field apps, telematics) may be bundled into those capital events.
How to read the Screenmobile FDD
The full 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It contains the legal and financial disclosures that govern the franchise relationship, including Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations) and Item 17 (renewal, termination, transfer). For software vendors, the most actionable sections are the IT mandates in Item 11, any supplier restrictions in Item 8, and the executive roster in Item 1. Use the viewer to verify the facts cited here and to identify additional integration or compliance requirements before you build a pitch.
If you need a ranked list of franchise systems that match your ideal customer profile, FranCloud can surface the targets where your software fits the mandate.
