In the fiercely competitive world of franchising, selecting the right franchisees is critical. The right partners elevate the brand, while the wrong ones can tarnish reputations and erode business value.

Traditional background checks focus on standard data like criminal records and credit scores. However, these limited insights miss critical red flags that could signal potential problems. TRACT leverages Sherlock, its state-of-the-art human intelligence system, to sift through over 100 billion records from 9,500 sources to deliver comprehensive and accurate profiles. With this unrivaled depth, franchisors can uncover hidden connections, undisclosed business interests, problematic behavior patterns, and other subtle risks that traditional checks often overlook.

In franchising, speed matters. Negotiations can hinge on quick yet informed decisions, and TRACT delivers actionable insights with precision and speed. Its advanced AI scours public and private data in real time, compiling rapid yet detailed profiles that allow franchisors to swiftly filter out unfit applicants and engage strong contenders before competitors can react. Discretion is paramount, and TRACT's seamless, secure platform ensures sensitive data remains protected.

This personalized approach ensures that decision-makers have a clear picture of who they're entrusting with their brand.
4. Seamless System Integration - Effortless Efficiency
For franchisors with existing due diligence workflows, integrating TRACT’s intelligence system via API is effortless. This allows the intelligence data to seamlessly blend into existing processes, minimizing disruption while enhancing decision-making. Real-time intelligence feeds mean that franchisors can confidently move forward with applicants who are a perfect fit, without compromising their rigorous standards.
