June 14, 2016 – Austin, TX – The Dwyer Group, Inc., one of the world’s largest franchising companies of trade service brands, has begun the process of rolling out Qvinci to all 1,500+ of its US-based locations.
The system-wide rollout comes on the heels of a successful two-year pilot program which saw Qvinci being used by three of the group’s top brands: Aire Serv®, Mr. Rooter® and Mr. Electric®.
Previously, the group had used a combination of manual processes and homegrown software to do its financial reporting. As a result of the pilot program, Qvinci’s proven value with regard to increasing profitability and improving collaboration were key elements in their decision.
“In addition to providing a very powerful and unique diagnostic and tracking tool, Qvinci has given us valuable insight into our franchisees’ business processes. As a result, we have not only used the tool to help drive financial improvement but have used Qvinci to improve our system and processes,” said Chris Elmore, VP of Operations for Aire Serv Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.
