Any information related to financial transactions like revenue, collections, transactions, etc is readily available on a real-time basis, providing franchisees with a clear view of their financial status.[AG2]
Tumbledry also prioritizes prompt resolution of franchisees’ queries and complaints through its Ticket Management System. Franchisees can raise tickets, which are automatically allocated, tracked, and escalated to the relevant stakeholders. The system allows franchisees to rate their experience and ensures timely resolution of their concerns.
Moreover, Tumbledry offers the “Design with Tumbledry” feature, providing franchise partners with a DIY tool for customizable marketing creatives and designs. Franchisees can choose from a wide range of designs, personalize them with specific details, and easily download them for use in marketing campaigns.
