What are Facilities?
"Facilities" is the default naming convention, within FranchiCzar OS, for your business storefronts. We say "default" because Franchisors are able to rename this module to match their brand. For instance, if you use the term "Stores" for your locations, this can be renamed from "Facilities" to "Stores".
Why Should I use Facilities?
Simply put, this module provides you with a quick view of all your locations. Use "Facilities" to keep track of the records on all your locations including their financials, any communications (inbound/outbound), and any other custom data point you want or need to track.
FCOS assists you with tracking what is vital to running your business.
