How innovation and technology allowed Fantastic Services to expand globally
Content Partnership*
When Zoom meetings are the new ‘’ín-person’’ meetings, it is time for businesses to embrace technology and change. One of the many lessons that the COVID-19 pandemic taught us was that nothing is local, and to persist and expand, you have to adapt technologically.
Here is a sneak peek of Fantastic Services’ journey towards expansion with the help of innovative technology. The company certainly knows how to set the bar high and disrupt how the property management industry works.
“Fantastic Services is expanding globally despite the challenges of the pandemic”
GROWTH THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
What started as a company of a few employees in 2009 is now a leading franchise provider in the U.K. with thousands of fantastic experts.
Fantastic Services is a multi-niche service company, providing more than 100 professional maintenance services in the U.K., the U.S.A., and Australia. As a one-stop shop for all things property related, the company quickly began offering franchise opportunities. As of today, its profitable business model has attracted over 530 franchise partners globally.
By building its own customer relationship management system (CRM), Fantastic Services challenged the status quo and proved that the industry is not as dull as many think. The innovative technology solutions implemented by the company have been a great success in changing the way people book property maintenance services.
The primary purpose of its CRM software is to automate simple processes such as booking a job, so that franchisees have more time to focus on growth and expansion. Its features include real-time access to availability, payment and call centre automation, video consulting and more.
TYPES OF FRANCHISES AVAILABLE WITH FANTASTIC SERVICES
• Master franchise: The master franchisees own the exclusive rights for the Fantastic Services brand at the country level. The master franchisee may subfranchise the brand, know-how and technology in the country of their choice. Becoming a master franchisee is a very lucrative opportunity with responsibilities ranging from promoting and building the Fantastic brand in your country, to creating a support facility to handle the smaller franchisees in the structure
• Area development franchise: The area developers own exclusive franchise rights to a specific region – a city or a county. They are responsible for establishing the market in that particular area. Fantastic Services offers a multi-service franchise model, so you may choose to provide either one or all of the following services: professional cleaning, gardening and landscaping, handymen and builders, pest control and waste removal
• Working franchise: With the working franchise, you may start small, testing the grounds and eventually expand. If you choose the working franchise model, you will still benefit from the company know-how and marketing support.
Fantastic Services is expanding globally despite the challenges of the pandemic. The brand welcomed over 30 area development franchisees since the beginning of 2020 and entered Ireland through master franchising.
The company’s current focus is on sustainability. The use of ecofriendly detergents, responsible waste collection, and planting trees is only part of its efforts towards a greener future for us all.
