HQ & franchise network

Run your franchise network from HQ.

Each franchise runs its own shop — its own GSTIN, books, stock and staff. HQ sets the items and prices, supplies the stock and bills the royalty, without anyone typing the same bill twice.

What is franchise management software?

Franchise management software links a brand's head office (HQ) with franchise outlets that run as their own businesses: HQ decides the items and the price limits, supplies the stock and collects royalty, while each franchise keeps its own books, GSTIN and staff. In Kiwikit each franchise is its own Kiwikit shop joined to HQ's network: HQ's items and prices reach every outlet, HQ's bill becomes the franchise's purchase by itself, franchises order from and return to HQ, and the royalty is billed every month.

Updated

Built for a network of shops

HQ sets the rules, every outlet runs its shop

A franchise is its own business. Kiwikit links it to HQ for the things they share — items, prices, supply, returns and royalty — and keeps everything else its own.

Invite shops into your network

HQ invites a Kiwikit shop by its code. The owner sees what HQ will send and what HQ will see before saying yes, and a franchise that leaves keeps all its own data.

HQ's items, prices and designs

HQ picks the items for the network — one by one or a whole category — with MRP, selling price and minimum price, GST rate, HSN, unit, photos and print designs. A franchise sells anywhere between the minimum and the MRP, and HQ's changes reach every outlet.

HQ's bill becomes the franchise's purchase

HQ sells to a franchise at its franchise rate. When the franchise confirms the goods arrived, its purchase is made with HQ's bill number and GST; anything short becomes a debit note there and a credit note at HQ. HQ's receipts show as the franchise's payments.

Orders to HQ

A franchise's purchase order to HQ becomes HQ's sales order by itself. HQ bills it, in parts if needed, and the franchise sees what it got, what is pending and what HQ closed.

Returns to HQ

A franchise sends goods back against HQ's bill. They are held as going back to HQ until HQ receives them; then HQ's credit note and the franchise's debit note are made together.

Monthly royalty, billed for you

Set each franchise's royalty as a percentage of its sales, a fixed monthly amount, or both. HQ's GST bill for it is made every month, and the franchise gets the matching purchase.

Franchise report

Every outlet side by side, only what it agreed to share

The Franchise Report puts HQ's franchises side by side for any period: sales, service work and stock — what each franchise agreed to share when it joined — and, for HQ's own network items, each outlet's stock now and units sold, so HQ knows what to send next.

HQ never sees a franchise's own items or its money. Each franchise's numbers come from its own shop, as it keeps them.

An honest read

What it does not do

  • Each franchise has its own Kiwikit account and pays its own plan; HQ paying for its outlets is not offered yet.
  • Goods go to a franchise as HQ's sale and the franchise's purchase, never as a stock transfer — a franchise is a separate business with its own GSTIN.
  • Kiwikit is cloud-based; there is no offline desktop version.

Price

In every plan, nothing extra

  • ₹1,499 for three months or ₹4,999 for a year
  • 4 users and one shop location included
  • 3-day free trial with every feature switched on

Frequently asked questions

Questions about franchise management software

Does each franchise need its own Kiwikit account?

Yes. Each franchise is its own Kiwikit shop with its own GSTIN, books, stock and staff, joined to HQ's network. Each shop's plan is ₹4,999 a year or ₹1,499 for 3 months.

How do prices work across the network?

HQ sets the MRP, selling price and minimum price of each network item. A franchise may sell anywhere between the minimum and the MRP; when HQ changes its limits, prices outside them go back to HQ's selling price and the franchise is told.

How does a franchise buy from HQ?

It raises a purchase order to HQ, which becomes HQ's sales order. HQ bills it, and when the goods arrive the franchise's purchase is made with HQ's bill number and GST — nobody types the bill twice.

How is royalty billed?

Each franchise's royalty is a percentage of its sales, a fixed monthly amount, or both. HQ's GST bill for it is made every month, with the matching purchase at the franchise.

Can a franchise leave the network?

Yes. A franchise that leaves, or is removed by HQ, keeps all of its own data and carries on as an ordinary Kiwikit shop.
