Entrepreneur surveyed hundreds of franchisors &ndash; from brand-new companies just jumping into franchising to top-ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500/2018?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franconnect-franchise-management-software-voted-no-1-solution-provider-on-entrepreneurs-top-franchise-suppliers-list-2707586" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Franchise 500&reg;</a>&nbsp;brands with thousands of locations &ndash; to find out which suppliers they do business with and how satisfied they are with them.

FranConnect was voted the Top Franchise Supplier for &ldquo;<a href="https://hubs.ly/H0dt45K0?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franconnect-franchise-management-software-voted-no-1-solution-provider-on-entrepreneurs-top-franchise-suppliers-list-2707586" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Online Technology Services</a>,&rdquo; including CRM, operations, sales and accounting systems &ndash; beating out the dominant multi-industry software providers as well as low-cost, limited function applications.

Franchise suppliers were scored based on both how many franchisors reported using them and their satisfaction ratings. The final ranking consists of the top-scoring suppliers in each of seven categories: accounting, banking/financing, legal services, marketing, merchant services, online technology services&nbsp;and public relations.

FranConnect&rsquo;s simple, fast to deploy and user-friendly platform is trusted by more than 700 franchisors and 140,000 franchisees. It is designed specifically for the franchise industry, giving it a distinct advantage over other multi-industry management tools. That singular focus likely helped FranConnect beat out not only other CRM services, such as Salesforce and HubSpot, but also industry-transcending tech giants like Microsoft.

<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franconnect/franconnect-webinar-will-unveil-the-top-secrets-to-franchisee-profitability-2707187" target="_blank">FranConnect has galvanized its customer base through thought-leadership education</a>, including best practice guidance, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/franconnect/franconnect-releases-franchise-sales-index-2705771" target="_blank">insights from sales and operations index reports</a>, conferences and webinars. Customers are showing their appreciation, too. The brand has the highest customer satisfaction score (NPS) of any other technology in its space.&nbsp;

Many FranConnect clients credit the performance of their franchise portfolio in part to the supplier.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Today, we have five brands in our portfolio, totaling over 1,000 units, using FranConnect,&rdquo; said Mike Skitzki, COO of Franworth, &ldquo;Even at that scale, we concluded that FranConnect was the only partner that had all the functionality we needed to manage our brands of all sizes at a reasonable cost. Plus, we have plans to add more brands during the year. Only FranConnect has the franchising expertise and ability to scale with us as we grow.&rdquo;

FranConnect President Keith Gerson says that the ranking reflects years of work building and refining the company&rsquo;s suite of products designed to help franchises through every phase of their growth.

&ldquo;This is a real honor as well as a validation of FranConnect&rsquo;s vision,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m incredibly proud of our team for their dedicated service and commitment in helping franchisors thrive. By working with hundreds of franchise brands, we&rsquo;ve learned exactly what their operational concerns are, and we&rsquo;ve developed tools that effectively address those concerns.&rdquo;

&ldquo;To receive this recognition on the heels of a report that shows FranConnect&rsquo;s customers <a href="https://1851franchise.com/franconnect/franconnect-customers-grow-over-44-faster-than-the-broader-franchising-market-2705902" target="_blank">grow up to 44% faster than the competition</a> is incredibly validating for our whole team,&rdquo; Gerson said.
