The vendor opportunity at Zerorez
Zerorez Franchising Systems operates 82 total locations—60 franchised and 22 company-owned—across a footprint that includes Texas (4), South Carolina (3), California (3), Oklahoma (3), and Utah (3) among other states. The system grew units by 5.26% year-over-year, and the average unit volume sits at $1,428,301. For software vendors, the addressable market is the 60 franchised locations, though the 22 corporate units may also adopt centrally mandated tools. The royalty rate is 6%, and the initial franchise term is 10 years.
This is a home-services brand with no parent company on file, meaning all technology decisions flow through the Utah headquarters. The operator base is fragmented: 36 mapped operators control roughly 42 located units, with only three multi-unit operators (each holding 2–9 units). No operator runs 10 or more locations. That structure reinforces HQ’s role as the central technology buyer.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2026 FDD lists five executives in Item 1: Tanner Ainge (Board Member), Tyler Price (Board Member), Shawn D. Moon (Chief Executive Officer and Board Member), Jon Laudie (President and Chief Financial Officer), and Benjamin Oyler (Chief Operating Officer). With no CIO or CTO named, the likely software buying center includes Moon, Laudie, and Oyler. Vendors should expect a finance-and-operations-driven evaluation process, given the CFO and COO presence at the top.
Because Zerorez is independently owned and not part of a larger parent, there is no external corporate procurement layer to navigate. The decision-making unit is compact and located in Utah. For sales outreach, the President/CFO and COO are the most relevant contacts based on their operational and financial oversight roles.
Mandated and current tech stack
Zerorez mandates four systems across its network: Brandworks, QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc., the Zerorez Marketing Portal, and Zr Ware. Fleetio is also recommended for franchisees. This stack covers operational management, accounting, marketing, and fleet maintenance. Brandworks and Zr Ware appear to be proprietary or brand-specific platforms, while QuickBooks Online is a widely used third-party accounting tool.
For vendors selling adjacent or replacement software, the mandate creates both a barrier and an opportunity. Any new tool must either integrate with this existing stack or demonstrate a compelling reason to displace an incumbent. The presence of QuickBooks Online suggests the franchise is comfortable with cloud-based, third-party SaaS, which may lower the bar for pitching complementary cloud products.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the 2026 FDD does not disclose a formal procurement model—no designated supplier list, approved vendor program, or purchasing cooperative is described. This absence means vendors should clarify the procurement process directly with HQ. In practice, many franchisors with mandated tech stacks control purchasing centrally, and Zerorez’s mandate pattern suggests the same.
Item 17 outlines renewal conditions: franchisees in good standing can renew for an additional 10-year term by signing the then-current agreement, paying a $10,000 renewal fee, and meeting all monetary obligations and training requirements. With 60 franchised units on 10-year cycles, renewal-driven technology evaluations will occur on a rolling basis. The 5.26% unit growth rate also signals new franchise onboarding, which creates additional software deployment windows.
How to read the Zerorez FDD
The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is the authoritative source for vendor due diligence on Zerorez. Key sections for software sellers include Item 1 (executive team and ownership structure), Item 8 (procurement obligations, though sparse here), Item 11 (mandated technology and supplier relationships), and Item 17 (renewal and transfer terms that affect contract timing). The embedded PDF viewer below provides the full document. Use it to verify the mandated systems, identify any undisclosed supplier arrangements, and track changes in future FDD filings that may signal new technology initiatives.
