The vendor opportunity at Spray-Net
Spray-Net is a home-services franchise with 35 total units, all franchised, and no company-owned locations disclosed in the 2026 FDD. The brand posted 20.69% year-over-year unit growth, making it an active expander. For software vendors, the addressable market is 35 locations, all operating under a centralized technology mandate. The royalty rate is 7.0%. Average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed. The franchisor is headquartered in Quebec, Canada, and appears independently owned with no parent company on file.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing decisions are made at headquarters. The executive team listed in the FDD includes Carmelo Marsala (Chief Executive Officer), Patrick Simpson (Chief Operating Officer), Kevin Houben (Senior Vice President of Operations), David Garofano (Vice President of Distribution), and Peiman Arabi (Director of Research and Development). A vendor pitch should target the COO and SVP of Operations for operational software, with the Director of R&D likely serving as a technical evaluator. The CEO is the ultimate decision-maker for enterprise-level commitments.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2026 FDD mandates two technology systems: Spray Network for business management and Spray Network & Estimating for estimation. These appear to be proprietary platforms built or branded by the franchisor. No third-party POS, CRM, or field-service management vendor is named in the mandates. This means any outside software vendor must either integrate with the Spray Network ecosystem or demonstrate a compelling reason to replace it at the HQ level. The absence of named third-party mandates suggests the stack is largely homegrown and tightly controlled.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Procurement details are thin in the public FDD. No Item 8 extract is available, so the designated-supplier versus approved-supplier framework is unknown. The initial franchise term length is not disclosed, and no Item 17 renewal signal is on file. This lack of visibility means contract windows are hard to predict. However, the brand's 20.69% unit growth rate is a timing signal in itself: franchisors adding units often reassess their operational tooling to support scale. Vendors should monitor new unit openings as a proxy for potential tech evaluation cycles.
How to read the Spray-Net FDD
The 2026 Spray-Net Franchise Disclosure Document is filed with state franchise regulators and available in the embedded viewer below. Key sections for software vendors: Item 11 (Franchisor's Assistance, Advertising, Computer Systems, and Training) lists the mandated Spray Network platforms. Item 1 names the executives who control purchasing. Item 19, if present, would contain financial performance representations, but AUV is not disclosed in our extract. Always cross-reference the mandated tech list with your own integration capabilities before building a pitch.
