The challenge

Exclusive territories are defined by zip code, but client service records live in each franchisee's systems. Encroachment surfaced through complaints and manual spreadsheet audits, and AI adoption varied widely from one location to the next.

What we deployed

Layer by layer.

  1. Ballast

    Connected the network's care management and CRM systems and resolved client service addresses against every franchisee's exclusive territory.

  2. Current

    Applied the franchise agreement's decision rules to flag likely encroachment with supporting evidence, and analyzed inbound calls across locations.

  3. Keel

    Delivered an encroachment review workflow, call analytics dashboards and executive readouts.

  4. Enablement

    Working sessions with leadership to build a shared AI playbook and a center of excellence for the network.

Outcomes

What changed.

  • Territory audits driven by data instead of complaints
  • A repeatable decision process grounded in the franchise agreement
  • One view of inbound demand across the network
