Franchisees may be required to electronically upload or transmit information on a periodic basis, including daily.
The franchisee's computer system must be compatible with Amerispec Inspection Services's computer systems and connected via high-speed internet. It must also be updated, maintained, and used in compliance with the specifications outlined in the Operations Manual.
