The vendor opportunity at Stevenstone
Stevenstone operates 63 total units in the home-services segment, with 62 of those franchised and 2 company-owned. The brand's 12.7% year-over-year unit growth signals a franchise system in active expansion mode. For software vendors, this means a growing base of franchisees who will need onboarding, training, and ongoing support for any mandated or approved tools. The system is headquartered in Washington state and appears independently owned, with no parent company on file. Royalties run at 7.0% of gross revenue, and initial franchise terms span 10 years.
Average unit volume is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, so vendors will need to model revenue potential based on segment benchmarks for home-services franchises of this size. The addressable market is 62 franchised locations, each bound by the franchisor's technology mandates.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD lists five directors and officers: Founder, CEO, and Director Larry Stevenson; President and Director David Stone; COO and Director Josh Stevenson; Secretary and Director Kelly Stone; and Brianna Stevenson in Franchise Development. With no CIO or CTO named, the buying center for software decisions likely sits with this small executive team. Larry Stevenson, David Stone, and Josh Stevenson are the most probable decision-makers for any vendor pitch, given their operational and strategic roles.
Because the franchisor mandates specific technology systems, purchasing authority is centralized at HQ. Franchisees are not free to choose alternatives for mandated functions, so vendors must sell into the corporate office, not individual operators. No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing the HQ-driven procurement model.
Mandated and current tech stack
Stevenstone mandates two named systems: Jobber for field service management and EZee Assist for operational support. Jobber covers scheduling, invoicing, and customer management for home-service businesses, while EZee Assist provides operational guidance and support tools. These mandates cover core operational workflows, but the FDD does not disclose mandates for POS, payments, payroll, marketing automation, or other adjacent categories.
Vendors selling complementary software—such as payment processing, employee scheduling, reputation management, or analytics—can position their tools as integrations that enhance the existing Jobber and EZee Assist stack. Replacement vendors face a higher bar, needing to demonstrate significant ROI to justify switching costs across 62 franchised locations.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not extract a specific Item 8 procurement signal, so whether Stevenstone uses a designated supplier model, an approved supplier list, or an open procurement process is not publicly disclosed. Given the mandated tech, vendors should assume a centralized, HQ-controlled procurement process. Pitch materials should address the executive team directly and emphasize ease of deployment across a growing franchise network.
Franchise agreements run for 10-year terms. Item 17 renewal conditions require franchisees to give notice, be in compliance with the current agreement, renovate and modernize to reflect the then-current system image, maintain possession of the vehicle, sign the then-current franchise agreement—which may be materially different—and pay a renewal fee. These renewal events create natural windows where the franchisor can introduce new technology mandates or upgrade existing systems. With 62 franchised units on 10-year cycles, some portion of the system comes up for renewal each year, offering recurring opportunities for vendors to engage.
How to read the Stevenstone FDD
The 2025 Stevenstone Franchise Disclosure Document is the definitive source for understanding the franchisor's technology requirements, procurement rules, and contractual timelines. Item 11 details the mandated systems—Jobber and EZee Assist—and any other required investments. Item 17 spells out renewal conditions that can trigger technology changes. Item 1 identifies the executives who control purchasing. Review the embedded PDF below to verify these facts and uncover additional details relevant to your sales strategy.
