Franchise owners wear many hats, especially when they’re just starting out. When choosing suppliers and partners, they need solutions that are easy to implement and adopt, and ready to scale as they add headcount and locations. FluentStream aims to make choosing a phone system an easy decision. Our all-new FluentStream franchise program offers features and benefits designed specifically for franchises.

Much like franchise ownership provides a turnkey way to start a business, FluentStream’s solution provides all the tools and support needed to set franchise owners up for success and growth. Think of it as an out-of-the-box business communication solution with advanced business phone features, world-class support, special pricing, and helpful resources.

A Tailored Communications Program for Franchises

Cloud-based phone system technology, also known as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), has revolutionized small business communication by offering reliable phone service along with enhanced flexibility, accessibility, and scalability. Let’s look at some of the 110+ features included with FluentStream’s plan and how they empower franchise businesses across industries.

• Using the auto attendant for call routing, franchises can eliminate the need for a dedicated receptionist. Instead, businesses can customize their greeting and menu to direct callers to the appropriate department or extension.

  Example: A home healthcare franchise can ensure after-hours calls are routed to the caregiver on call that evening by updating their menu and routing options.

• The eFax feature allows businesses to receive faxes as emails, streamlining communication channels and eradicating the costs associated with traditional fax machines, like paper, ink, and maintenance.

  Example: A real estate franchise's closing coordinator can manage the flow of client paperwork quickly without needing to be in the office or near a fax machine.

• Voicemail transcription to email makes it easy for busy owners and operators to access voicemail messages from anywhere and scan messages to address urgent matters more quickly.

  Example: A sales representative for a home services franchise can scan their email for new leads instead of listening to every voicemail, allowing for more timely follow-ups.

• FluentStream’s mobile apps, including FluentStream Mobile and FluentStream Admin, let franchise leaders and employees make, receive, and manage work calls from anywhere while keeping business and personal calls and contacts separate.

  Example: An advisor working for a financial services franchise can receive client calls made to their office extension from their mobile phone while traveling or working remotely.
