The vendor opportunity at Supply Pointe
Supply Pointe operates 11 professional-services locations — 9 franchised and 2 company-owned — with an average unit volume near $1,028,769 on a 4.25% royalty. Item 19 makes a financial performance representation, and unit count is up 50% year over year. The franchisor already runs a mandated technology stack, including a designated "technology system," which signals a network that takes its software choices seriously and centralizes them.
Who controls software purchasing
HubSpot, QuickBooks, and a designated technology system are all mandated centrally under Item 8, which puts purchasing authority with the franchisor's corporate development team rather than the 9 franchised operators, one of whom is mapped in Wisconsin.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
HubSpot and QuickBooks are both mandated under Item 8 — every location must use them. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Twitter/X are all named under Item 11, but none is required; they appear in the filing without being mandated.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 puts Supply Pointe on an approved-supplier list: accounts payable and receivable services, the designated technology system, and specified computer hardware and software must come from the franchisor or an affiliate, with room to propose alternatives. Item 17 renewal requires full compliance, timely written notice, satisfaction of monetary obligations, current training, a general release, and the then-current franchise agreement, for another 10-year term.
