How are business operators currently managing permits/compliance across locations?

I’ve been researching operational workflows for multi-location businesses recently and realized a surprising number of businesses still manage permits/licenses through spreadsheets, email reminders, or manual tracking.

For franchise operators specifically, I’m curious:

  • How are you currently tracking renewals/compliance across locations?
  • Is this handled centrally or at the store level?
  • What’s the biggest pain point operationally?
  • Have missed renewals/compliance issues ever become a serious problem?

The reason I’m asking is because I’ve been building software around this space after seeing how messy permit management becomes once businesses start scaling locations.

Would genuinely love to hear how people are currently solving this.
