If you’re a franchisor, you know that building a sustainable franchise system takes more than great branding and operational playbooks. It takes intelligent, data-driven territory planning, streamlined sales management, and airtight compliance.
That’s exactly where Zors comes in—2025’s newest franchise mapping software, designed by franchising experts to empower franchisors, consultants, franchise sales organizations (FSO's), and FranDev teams with tools to scale smarter, faster, and with confidence.
Zors is a territory-first franchise intelligence platform that combines territory mapping with CRM tools like integrated e-sign, document management, task boards, and milestone tracking - all in a single, easy-to-use interface.
Its 2025 - but many of the legacy territory mapping platforms were retrofitted for franchisors - not built for franchisors - and they are clunky and disconnected. Legacy platforms help map territories - but they are a often seen as a necessary evil in franchising - not as an effective management and sales tool.
Zors was built from the ground up to solve the real challenges franchise sellers and franchise executives face every day, like:
Which territories are currently sold or under development, and which are still available?
Are we approved in California, New York, Maryland, Virginia, etc?
Has this prospect been disclosed?
Can I track every franchisee’s progress in one place?
When will the territory map and analysis for this prospect be ready ?
Spoiler Alert: With Zors, territories can be created by anyone on the team and a report with pre-built charts and graphs can be generated within a few minutes.
By combining Mapping with CRM tools through an unlimited seat mode, everyone on the franchise team gains instant visibility and insight into key issues involving territories, people, companies, and vendors.
Here’s what makes Zors stand out among franchise territory mapping and intelligence platforms in 2025:
In franchising, territories aren’t just lines on a map—they’re the foundation of your business strategy, legal obligations, and franchisee relationships. Whether you're launching a new brand or scaling an established system, the ability to quickly and confidently define territories is critical to growth.
Zors was built with that reality in mind. It is as simple as click, draw, and save.
You can’t sell it twice
You may owe certain rights or performance standards
You must disclose it in Item 20 of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
And you must defend it during audits, disputes, or renewals
⚠️ If territory creation is slow, disorganized, or imprecise, you risk legal exposure, inconsistent disclosures, and franchisee dissatisfaction.
FranDev teams move fast. In a typical week, they may:
Field dozens of leads
Host discovery days
Work across multiple states with different legal statuses
Collaborate with brokers, attorneys, and executives
To keep deals moving, they need to:
Instantly verify if a market is available
Build or modify territories based on candidate location or expansion requests
Generate demographic data to support the sale
Link that territory to agreements, people, and disclosures
Zors makes all of this possible in seconds—not hours—so your team can move with confidence, not caution.
Click "Create Territory" on the Map interface
Search by Address or Zoom In: Start by selecting your target area—by state, city, or ZIP code.
Select an option:
Alternatively, you can select Census Tracts or ZIP CODES one-by-one on the map (live population and household data appears as you build - regardless of method).
✨With Zors, Territory Creation Isn’t Just Easy—It’s Built to Scale\
One of the most challenging—and critical—parts of franchise compliance is managing state-by-state approval status. Many states operate under their own timeline and filing requirements. Some states require registration, others require notice filings, and others are non-registration altogether. Missing a renewal date or offering in a restricted state can stall deals or trigger enforcement actions.
That’s why Zors brings state approval visibility to life through an intuitive map-based overlay system.
No more spreadsheets, legal memos, or email threads to confirm whether you’re approved to sell in a particular state. Zors displays real-time approval status directly on your U.S. territory map, using a simple but powerful visual key:
🟢 Green – Active & Approved for Sales
🟡 Yellow – Pending, Renewal Due Soon, or Under Review
🔴 Red – Inactive, Expired, or Not Filed
This visual tool gives sales teams, executives, and compliance personnel instant clarity about where they can offer, disclose, and sign—and where they can’t.
Franchise examiners have the authority to:
Request signed documents for any transaction in their state
Investigate unlawful sales or advertising
Issue cease-and-desist orders, which must be disclosed in future FDDs (Item 3)
With Zors, franchisors have a proactive compliance safeguard—a visual compliance layer that prevents costly oversights before they occur.
By integrating approval tracking directly into the territory map, Zors empowers your team to:
Accelerate deal flow
Reduce legal risk
Streamline renewal management
Stay audit-ready at all times
💡 No guesswork. No legal gray zones. Just clean, clear visibility into where you can sell.
Franchise growth depends on data—but data without clarity is just noise. That’s why Zors gives franchisors the ability to visualize key metrics instantly through maps, graphs, and prebuilt reports designed specifically for franchise decision-making.
Whether you’re evaluating new markets, preparing for discovery day, or reporting to your executive team, Zors transforms raw data into real-time insights you can act on.
Spreadsheets can’t show you market overlap. Static PDFs can’t flag disclosure timing issues. But interactive reports and mapped visuals can. With Zors, you can:
Instantly view territory status (available, sold, pending, etc)
Compare markets by population, income, competition, or business density
Identify white space and expansion potential using heat maps and demographic layers
Track sales activity across regions, franchisees, or lead sources
This visual-first approach helps you spot trends, avoid conflicts, and make better decisions—faster.
Zors includes a library of prebuilt visuals that eliminate manual setup and let you hit the ground running. With just a few clicks, you can generate:
pre-built charts, graphs and tables for:
reports generated instantly - no GIS expertise required:
Because every visual is connected to your actual territories, people, and contracts, you always get the full picture—no cross-referencing or double-checking required.
In a fast-paced growth environment, you don’t have time to build every report from scratch or decode complicated datasets. Zors turns franchise development into a data-driven operation—with clear visuals and ready-to-run reports that give your team the edge.
Managing franchise agreements and disclosure documents can quickly become a regulatory minefield if timelines, signatures, and file retention aren’t carefully tracked. That’s why Zors includes integrated e-signature functionality, designed specifically for franchisors who need to stay compliant and move deals forward—fast.
No more jumping between systems or wondering if a disclosure receipt was signed. Zors keeps everything centralized:
🔗 Automatically link signed documents to franchisees, territories, and entities
📅 Track key compliance dates, like disclosure delivery, receipt acknowledgment, and signing timelines
🛡️ Create a secure audit trail for every transaction—time-stamped and user-logged
🧾 Each FDD receipt (Item 23) directly linked to the candidate's profile for federal and state examiners
Franchise regulations require detailed attention to the timing of disclosures and contract execution. For example:
Federal Rule (FTC): Requires a 14-day disclosure window before signing
State Laws: Often have stricter rules on disclosure delivery, contract format, and receipt retention
Examiners: Can request signed receipts and agreements for any transaction in their state—and failure to provide these can delay or halt registration
Zors makes this easy by automating the tracking and storage of signed documents. No more lost files, missed deadlines, or scrambling during a regulatory inquiry.
In 2025, franchise systems need more than just digital convenience—they need smart systems that reduce legal risk and streamline every step of the franchise award process.
Zors’ integrated e-signature tools help you:
Close faster
Stay compliant
Maintain bulletproof records
Protect your system during audits or litigation
All while keeping your sales and legal teams in sync.
Most CRM systems weren’t built with franchising in mind - this leads to critical gaps when it comes to managing complex relationships and navigating the regulatory landscape. As a result, franchisors often juggle multiple systems, documents, and spreadsheets to keep up with the realities of operating a franchise system and staying compliant.
Zors is not designed to replace your lead generation or marketing engine. Instead, Zors is built to work seamlessly alongside your lead management system or development team—giving you the infrastructure to organize, qualify, and track leads effectively after they enter your pipeline.
Whether you’re using:
A franchise portal
A CRM-based lead management service
A broker network
Or a dedicated sales or FranDev team
Zors gives you the tools to assign those leads to actual territories, track disclosure timelines, and connect their activity to documents, vendors, and compliance milestones. This bridges the gap between marketing and compliance—two sides of franchise development that rarely talk to each other in traditional CRMs.
🔄 Import leads into Zors manually or via CSV/API (custom solutions available)
📍Assign leads to mapped territories based on geography or interest
📊 Monitor pipeline movement and see which territories are generating the most activity
📁 Attach key documents to each lead profile—automatically linked to the correct territory, people, and company
📆 Track disclosure and signing dates to stay compliant across federal and state rules
You get complete visibility into what’s happening across your franchise pipeline—with none of the disconnect between lead generation and legal follow-through.
When your lead data lives inside the same platform as your territory availability, contract management, and compliance system, you make faster, smarter decisions:
Know where to invest marketing dollars
Avoid double-selling or offering unavailable markets
Anticipate when compliance deadlines will affect your ability to close
Align your development efforts with real-time operational data
