Azura

What Azura is

Azura provides bespoke franchise management software for franchisors and their networks. Its cloud-based dashboards show financial details across the network and individual franchisee performance, and are accessible from any device. The software includes automated invoicing and communications, forecasting, job scheduling, and route planning. Franchise recruitment tools track prospects, support lead communication, and offer database integration. For network oversight, Azura describes central brand controls, remote document storage, and tools to help keep networks GDPR compliant. Mobile apps include work items, job photo uploads, and e-signatures. Hosting is in UK data centres or in the customer’s country of operation. Azura offers a consultative implementation with tailored systems, training, and a modular approach that can complement existing systems. Support includes technical help, training videos, and dedicated staff. The company says it was established in 1990 and first released its franchise management software in 2007; it was acquired by Franchise Brands plc in November 2021. Pricing is on request; the company describes a low set-up fee, flexible contracts, and a monthly subscription that includes system updates.
