CRM separates those relationships and retains proposed areas, decision makers and negotiation stages. The team prepares opening proposals for review; Commerce helps present the catalog and collect commercial orders from existing franchisees.

Revenue Operations keeps sales and invoices linked to each account. Territory, contract and terms approval belongs to head office and its advisers. External store or ERP data requires compatible API integration or import to feed reporting. This case covers commercial expansion and sales to the network, not automatic royalty settlement or automatic inventory transfers between locations.
