Empower Brands launches platform to assist franchise consultants

The Empower Partner Information Connection (EPIC) portal provides information on territory availability, brand data and the ability
to register candidates

RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 31, 2025 -- Empower Brands, a world-class franchising portfolio consisting of industry-leading residential and commercial service providers, announced today that it has launched the Empower Partner Information Connection (EPIC) portal to provide franchise consultants with real-time, on-demand access to territory availability and brand learning information across the entire Empower Brands portfolio.

"EPIC is designed to help consultants be more efficient and successful when working with their clients as each seeks to achieve the dream of business ownership," said Empower Brands Chief Development Officer R. Scott Sutton, who envisioned and led the development of the EPIC technology. "EPIC enables franchise consultants to have immediate and accurate access to territory availability across all brands in the Empower portfolio and includes incredible brand resources that can be used by both franchise consultants and clients alike. No other multi-branded collective has built and launched a platform like this portal."

Empower partnered with Ignite Visibility, a franchise industry digital firm, to bring the EPIC technology to life. The project execution team was led by Empower's Franchise Resales Manager Lilas O'Rourke.

"Scott Sutton and the entire team at Empower are innovators," said Joe Mohay, president of the franchise division at Ignite Visibility. "Pairing Scott's vision and Empower's go-getter culture with our team of dedicated digital leaders created a formidable team that enabled EPIC to come to life. We're grateful to have had the opportunity to drive the development of this innovative platform and proud of the team for their great work."

In addition to real-time access to territory checks, the EPIC platform also provides franchise consultants with:

  • The ability to register candidates directly. Once candidates are registered, their information is provided directly to Empower's development team for immediate follow-up and progression.
  • Updated brand information and learning guides. Users can view and download brand assets to share with their clients. Assets include one-pages, franchise information guides, two-minute drills and related presentations.
  • Up-to-date analytics on usage and activity to help consultants understand brand data and hot markets.

Consultants who are interested in learning more about the EPIC portal should visit https://epic.empowerfranchising.com/ to register for an account. Access to the EPIC portal is free.

"Our commitment to creating and deploying innovative technology solutions remains unwavering," Empower Brands CEO Scott Zide said. "EPIC is the latest example of this culture in action, and will bring great value in helping the franchise consultants we work with help their clients achieve the dream of business ownership."
