What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase and maintain a computer system at their Administrative Office. This system includes specific hardware, software, and peripheral devices like printers. Additionally, each dispatched user or service vehicle must have an Android tablet and Android phone with cellular internet access.
Deer Solution franchisees must also meet the franchisor's requirements for back office and business management systems, security systems, printers, back-up systems, and high-speed internet access. These requirements ensure that franchisees have the necessary tools to manage their business effectively and securely.
These technology requirements are source restricted, meaning franchisees must acquire them from Deer Solution or its designated suppliers. This allows Deer Solution to maintain uniformity and quality across all franchise locations. The cost of these systems will contribute to the initial investment and ongoing operating expenses of the franchise.
