Seek Wellbeing
Health servicesSoftware purchasing at Seek Wellbeing is controlled at the headquarters level by a small leadership team that includes CEO Dr. Johanna Gaskins and Chief Information Officer Perry Gaskins. The system currently operates a single company-owned unit and mandates four specific technology platforms: CollaborateMD, Open Edge POS System, Practice Fusion Patient Management System, and QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. With only one addressable location today, the immediate vendor opportunity is narrow, but the 10-year initial term and renewal structure signal long-term stability for any approved supplier relationship.

The vendor opportunity at Seek Wellbeing
Seek Wellbeing is a health-services brand headquartered in Virginia with a single company-owned unit as disclosed in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. The franchised unit count is not specified in the filing, and no year-over-year unit growth rate is available. For software vendors, the addressable market is exactly one location today, with the potential for expansion if the system begins franchising. The brand charges a 6.0% royalty and operates under a 10-year initial franchise term, with renewal options for additional 10-year periods. Average unit volume is not reported in the FDD.
Because the system is small and centrally controlled, any software sale will be a headquarters-level decision. Vendors should approach this as a direct-to-principal engagement rather than a multi-unit operator play. The absence of a parent company and the independent ownership structure mean there is no larger enterprise umbrella to navigate.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Dr. Johanna Gaskins, CEO, and Perry Gaskins, Chief Information Officer. In a single-unit system, the CIO is the most direct entry point for technology vendors. The CEO is likely involved in any strategic purchasing decision. There are no additional operators mapped in our corpus, so the buying center is confined to these two individuals. Vendors should prepare concise, compliance-aware pitches that address the specific mandates already in place.
Mandated and current tech stack
Seek Wellbeing’s Item 11 disclosures mandate four systems. The practice management and billing platform is CollaborateMD. The point-of-sale system is Open Edge POS System. Patient management runs on Practice Fusion. Accounting and financial management are handled through QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. These four vendors form the operational backbone of the single unit. Any new software must either integrate with or replace one of these mandated components, and replacement would require a change to the franchise disclosure itself.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly available. Vendors should inquire directly about supplier qualification requirements during initial conversations. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides a clear framework: franchisees may renew for additional 10-year terms by entering into the then-current franchise agreement, which may contain materially different terms. Renewal conditions include full compliance with the agreement, capital expenditures to maintain system uniformity, satisfaction of all monetary obligations, and execution of a general release. These conditions suggest that any technology embedded in the franchise system at the time of renewal will need to meet ongoing uniformity and compliance standards.
How to read the Seek Wellbeing FDD
The full 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. Item 1 identifies the executives and ownership structure. Item 11 lists the mandated technology systems. Item 17 outlines the renewal terms and conditions. For software vendors, these three items are the most actionable sections. Review them to understand the current tech stack, the decision-makers, and the contractual windows that might prompt a technology review. When you are ready to build a ranked target list of franchise systems that match your software, FranCloud can help you prioritize based on real FDD data.
