franchise manuals that document the operating system of each franchise

in a clear and readable style. To obtain accurate information, we interview

appropriate team members at their site and read previously printed materials.

Then, through our unique DP System, we organize the information into a manual

that reflects the franchise's culture, policies, and practices. Some of the

topics a manual may include are Operating a Profitable Business, Maintaining

Quality Through Standards, Attracting and Keeping a Motivated Staff, Advertising

and Marketing, Controlling Costs, and Excelling with Customers, Manuals are used

by franchisors to market, attract, and select qualified franchisees; by staff

for reference and training; by franchisees to help them clearly follow standards

and operations; and by field consultants to identify and solve problems and to

build productive and effective relationships. What makes FDI's manuals useable

is that they are organized so that information can be located quickly and

changed, updated, added/or deleted easily without altering the paging system.

How many customers are you losing because of your inaccurate store locator?

Chances are you'll never know.

Until now, you've had to settle fin locator programs that use zip code or area code/exchange assignments. While it seems fine on the surface, chances are you're not always correctly identifying the caller's "closest" store. As a result, your customers are inconvenienced, and your franchisees are losing revenue to your competition.

Finally, TARGUSinfo offers you a better way to route customers to your stores.

With IntelliRouting Express, you can:

* Identify the correct location every time and increase revenue

* Protect franchisee's territory and eliminate location disputes

* Eliminate the headaches and cost of in-house locator database maintenance

* Improve customer service and loyalty

Our patented technology pinpoints the caller's location within feet and identifies the closet store by matching the caller's precise location and your exact franchise-defined territory.

In some cases, the closest store isn't always the correct store--you need to account for franchise territories and geographical obstacles, such as lakes mad wooded areas. With our unique mapping tools, you can define routing logic areas down to the exact street level.

So, when does pinpoint precision count? When it's your customer.
