From the filings
Software purchasing at TEGG is controlled at the franchisor level, with multiple mandated proprietary systems already in place across all 51 franchised locations. The brand operates a lean, home-services network concentrated in Hawaii, New York, North Carolina, Colorado, and Kentucky. For vendors, the addressable market is compact but tightly standardized, meaning any new tool must displace or integrate with an existing mandated stack.

Who buys here
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisor's owner/CEO decides; an ops or franchise-development lead may evaluate.
TEGG operates 51 franchised units, all in the home-services segment, with headquarters in Georgia. The brand posted a -1.9% year-over-year unit change in its most recent disclosure, suggesting a stable but not expanding footprint. For software vendors, the total addressable market is exactly 51 locations, concentrated in Hawaii (16 units), New York (7), North Carolina (6), Colorado (6), and Kentucky (4). There are 43 mapped operators, 14 of whom are multi-unit, though no operator controls more than 9 units. No company-owned units are disclosed in the 2026 FDD. The royalty rate is 2.5% on a 6-year initial term. Average unit volume is not disclosed.
This is a small, tightly controlled system. The franchisor mandates a suite of proprietary tools, which means any outside vendor must either replace a mandated system or demonstrate a clear integration path that HQ will endorse. The decision-making center is small and concentrated at the franchisor level.
The 2026 FDD Item 1 lists four executives relevant to a software sales process. Kelly Pnacek serves as Senior Vice President, Franchising, and Martin Keyser is Senior Vice President, Franchise Operations. Brian Probst holds the title Senior Director, FP&A, ABM Technical Solutions — a role that explicitly bridges financial planning and technical solutions. Todd Greenlee is Vice President, Franchise Development. No CIO or CTO is named, but the presence of an FP&A leader with a technical-solutions remit suggests that budget and systems evaluation run through Probst’s group. For a vendor, the likely buying center includes Franchise Operations and FP&A, with Franchise Development involved if the tool touches new-unit onboarding.
TEGG’s Item 11 mandates five systems: ProposalBuilder, TEGG Sales software, TEGG Software, TEGGNet, and TEGGPro. These are all proprietary or branded to TEGG, covering the full operational workflow from sales proposals through network management. No third-party POS, ERP, or CRM is disclosed as mandated or recommended. This is a closed, self-contained stack. A vendor selling CRM, field-service management, or financial software would need to displace at least one of these mandated tools or position as an integration layer that HQ sanctions across all 51 units.
Item 8 of the 2026 FDD does not include a procurement extract, so the formal supplier-designation process is not publicly known. Given the mandated stack, however, procurement is almost certainly centralized at HQ. The franchise agreement runs for 6 years. Item 17 states that renewal requires the franchisee not be in default, sign a new then-current franchise agreement, comply with then-current training, test instruments, and safety requirements, and sign a General Release. The renewal agreement may contain materially different terms. This structure means that as franchise agreements come up for renewal, HQ has leverage to introduce new technology requirements. With 51 units on 6-year cycles, a small number of renewals occur each year, creating periodic windows for stack evaluation.
The full 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. Vendors should focus on Item 1 for the executive roster and ownership structure, Item 11 for the complete list of mandated systems, and Item 17 for renewal conditions that can force technology adoption. Item 8, if supplemented in future filings, will clarify whether TEGG uses a designated-supplier model. The operator footprint in the FDD also maps multi-unit ownership, which is useful for account-based targeting. For a ranked list of franchise systems that match your software category, FranCloud can build a data-driven target set.
