With the exception of National Accounts, Select National Accounts and Commercial Accounts, You may set Your own prices; however, we ask you to generally follow industry-accepted pricing practices for all services you perform, which can be found in standard third party pricing platforms, such as Xactimate or others. Reasonable deviations should be supported by documented sound business reasons. An industry standard unit pricing platform has emerged: Xactimate®, prepared and updated monthly by Xactware, Inc. You may be required or expected by Your clients to use Xactimate® when performing and billing Your work. Xactimate® was originally designed as a survey to provide guidance regarding pricing charged around the country by service providers to the property casualty insurance industry. Increasingly, however, those paying for services, including insurance companies and commercial property insurers and managers, adopt Xactimate® as their pricing standard. More information about Xactimate® is available at www.xactware.com. Some insurance companies or other entities may require a different software for estimating, other than Xactimate®. If You accept a job for one of these companies, You will be required to use that required software.

The vendor opportunity at Servpro

Servpro's 2026 FDD reports 2,354 total units, all franchised, with franchised outlets up 2.975% year over year. The FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation.

Who controls software purchasing

Item 2 names CEO and President John Sooker, SVP and Chief Legal Officer Vincent Brockman, SVP and Chief Technology Officer Joy Wald, SVP and CFO Tanner Owen, and SVP and Chief Revenue Officer Rhiannon Adams. Wald's CTO title puts her directly over the software mandates every franchisee signs: a software license and technology agreement covering Servpro's own WorkCenter platform, which franchisees must run on all jobs and pay a recurring monthly license fee to use. Across the operator footprint, 1,016 operators run about 1,052 located units, including 36 multi-unit operators, concentrated in California, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

Beyond WorkCenter, Servpro requires QuickBooks (Intuit) for specific accounting functions with no substitute package allowed, a subscription to Intuit's Online Tax Table support, DryBook, a connection to Servpro's ServproNET network, a Microsoft Office suite (Office 2024 or Office 365), a Google Business Profile, and the latest iPad with at least 128GB of memory running current iOS and Safari or Chrome. Franchisees need Xactimate and Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) licenses to qualify for referrals from certain National, Select National, and Commercial Accounts, some of which require multiple versions.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Servpro's Item 8 designates specific suppliers only: at sign-up, franchisees must buy the standard Servpro Equipment and Products Package from Servpro's affiliate, and Servpro may, at its sole discretion, require other equipment, professional cleaning products, and materials to come exclusively from Servpro, its affiliates, or other approved vendors. The initial term is 5 years; Item 17 renewal requires 30 days' notice, current standing, the required equipment and software, completed training, and Servpro's then-current agreement form.

Questions vendors ask

Servpro, answered from the filing
