Network Visibility

See every location — on Sidecar or not.

Locations on Sidecar show up in full depth — pipeline, jobs, invoices, goals — in real time. Locations not yet on the platform still show up at the KPI level you set. One picture, not a status update from each owner.

Royalties & Fee Management

Royalties off real numbers, not spreadsheets.

Assess royalties, ad fund, and network fees straight off recorded revenue — not what a location reports separately. Every location gets a statement; corporate gets one ledger of assessed, paid, and outstanding.

AI-Driven Operations

Max AI works every location, not just corporate.

Max AI works the pipeline, drafts follow-up, builds quotes, and keeps schedules moving — in-app, email, SMS — at every location. Each one gets a daily briefing on what needs attention.

AI Coaching

Raise the floor, continuously.

AI flags cold deals, missed follow-ups, and locations drifting from goal — then coaches the fix to the person who needs it, inside the tools they already use. What must hold stays locked; everything else gets coached, not policed.

Network Coordination

Set it once at corporate. It shows up everywhere.

Pricing, assemblies, price books, and service catalog push to every location as the shared standard — locations extend it locally without breaking the baseline. One knowledge base for the network; pipeline changes propagate live.

Measurable Improvement

Reporting built in. No separate BI stack.

Funnel conversion and goal baselines prove the lift, by location or cohort. Need a different cut? Ask Max AI in plain language and get the answer plus a file — no tool to buy or staff.

Corporate controls

What corporate can set — and lock.

Push any standard to every location. Lock it, or leave it open to edit locally.

Pricing & markups

Set network markups and lock them — fully, or just the worksheet overrides.

Quote content

Cover pages, payment terms, and terms & conditions — locked field by field.

Brand & theme

Applies network-wide by default; unlock it per location.

Pipeline stages

Define it once, lock it. Changes propagate live.

Service types

Standardize what the network sells. Lock the rest out.

Coverage areas

Control who can edit a location’s coverage area.

Phone number purchases

Freeze messaging-number spend above the included floor.

Max AI upgrade tiers

Choose which paid AI tiers a location can self-upgrade into.

Built to connect to what you already run.

A network has its own systems and its own developers. Sidecar connects to them instead of replacing them.

MCP for your own AI tools

Connect your own AI clients over MCP. They get the same permissioned tools Max AI uses internally — CRM, pipeline, catalog, scheduling — so you build on Sidecar's data instead of exporting it first.

APIs and developer support

API access for your network's own developers, backed by direct support — not a ticket queue.

One platform. Two very different jobs.

For corporate

A live view of every location, standards you set once, royalty statements against real revenue, and AI coaching that raises performance without a field visit. Brand it your way.

For each location

A full operating system for the day-to-day — pipeline, scheduling, invoicing, and Max AI working alongside the team — running on the pricing and standards corporate already set.

Adding a location

New locations launch on the network standard.

Provision a location and it starts seeded from corporate — pipeline stages, service types, and coverage already in place. No blank account to configure by hand.

Questions from franchise networks

Do all our locations need to be on Sidecar for this to work?

No. Locations on Sidecar show up in full depth; locations not yet on the platform still show up at the KPI level you set. Visibility from day one, regardless of timeline.

How do royalties and fees get calculated?

Off revenue already recorded in the system — not a number a location reports separately. Each location gets a statement; corporate gets one ledger of assessed, paid, and outstanding.

What can corporate actually control at each location?

Pricing, quote content, brand and theme, pipeline stages, service types, coverage edit rights, number purchases, and Max AI upgrade tiers — each lockable independently. Anything unlocked, a location manages on its own.

What does Max AI actually do at the location level?

Works the pipeline, drafts follow-up, builds quotes, keeps schedules moving — in-app, email, SMS — and sends each location a daily briefing.

Do we need a separate BI tool for network reporting?

No. Built-in reporting covers conversion and goals by location or cohort. Need a different cut? Ask Max AI in plain language and get the file back.

Can our own systems connect to Sidecar?

Yes. MCP connects your own AI tools with the same permissioned tools Max AI uses internally; APIs and developer support cover the rest.
