The vendor opportunity at Status Solutions Network
Status Solutions Network runs 2 professional-services locations out of Ohio — 1 franchised, 1 company-owned — per its 2025 FDD, with unit count down 50% year over year. The royalty runs 15% of sales on a 10-year term, and Item 19 makes no financial performance representation.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Stephen Waterman as Controller and Amy Jeffs overseeing Operations, alongside Executive Sponsor Michael MacLeod, Marketing Director Cassie Lamprinakos Collins, and Rachel MacLeod in Sales. With Salesforce already mandated system-wide, the Controller is a natural point of contact for any adjacent finance or ops tooling.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Salesforce (Item 8) is mandated — the filing obliges every franchisee to use it, making it the confirmed CRM incumbent across this small system. Facebook, LinkedIn, QuickBooks, Twitter/X and YouTube (all Item 11) are named in the filing but not required.
Procurement, renewals and timing
Item 8 maintains a written list of approved items and designated suppliers in the Operations Manual, and franchisees may propose an alternative supplier for review. Item 17 allows up to two additional 5-year renewal terms, contingent on good standing, six months' written notice, and a Successor Agreement Fee of at least $19,750 (50% of the then-current franchise fee). With units down 50% year over year, this is a system where the existing Salesforce relationship and any renewal decision carry outsized weight.
