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.
