All Dry Services brought on Autymate to transform weekly royalty collection across 82 franchise locations. What was once a source of constant friction became a fully transparent, automated system where every dollar traces to a specific invoice.
The implementation delivered immediate results: zero royalty disputes, hours of weekly admin time eliminated, and a revenue recovery mechanism that catches backdated insurance payments the old process missed.
About
All Dry Services is a rapidly growing restoration franchise with 82 locations across the United States. Specializing in water damage restoration, mold remediation, and emergency cleanup services, All Dry operates a franchise model where each location submits weekly royalty payments to the corporate office.
With 82 franchisees submitting royalties every week, the corporate office needed complete transparency into every dollar.
Background
As a restoration franchise, All Dry has a unique billing challenge: insurance payments frequently arrive months after the original service and get backdated to the original invoice date. This creates a complex environment where royalty calculations must account for payments that cross reporting periods.
Gena, the Office Manager responsible for weekly royalty collection across all 82 locations, spent significant time fielding disputes from franchisees who questioned their royalty numbers every week with no way to show them exactly which invoices made up those figures.
The Challenge
Every week, Gena presented royalty numbers to All Dry's 82 franchisees. And every week, franchisees pushed back, saying the numbers didn't match their records.
The core issue: there was no way to drill down into royalty figures and show exactly which invoices and transactions made up each weekly number.
This created three compounding problems:
- Weekly disputes consumed hours — Franchisees called to question numbers with no data to resolve disagreements
- No transaction-level transparency — Royalty figures were summary-level only
- Missed revenue from backdated payments — Insurance payments arriving months late got backdated, falling outside the royalty collection window
Our Solution
Autymate implemented automated royalty processing across all 82 All Dry locations:
Transaction-Level Royalty Transparency
Every royalty figure now traces to specific invoices. Franchisees can drill down to see which jobs, customers, and amounts contribute to each total — no more guessing.
"All of these years, we've been struggling to find what invoices make up these numbers. And now with Autymate, we can find out — here's the invoices that make that weekly number. It literally makes my life so much easier."
— Gena, Office Manager, All Dry Services
Self-Service Franchisee Dashboards
Each franchisee has their own dashboard showing exactly which transactions drive their royalty amounts. Automated emails with actual transaction details go out before questions even arise.
"They have their own dashboard. They can look, they don't even have to reach out to me. It saves a lot of time for everybody involved."
— Gena, Office Manager, All Dry Services
Automated Backdated Revenue Recovery
Insurance payments that arrive months late get backdated to the original invoice date — and in restoration, that happens constantly. Autymate automatically catches these and ensures correct royalties are collected on revenue that would have been missed entirely.
The recovered revenue alone pays for the software.
Bottomline
Autymate transformed All Dry's royalty collection from a weekly source of frustration into a transparent, automated process across all 82 locations.
Key results:
- 82 franchise locations with self-service royalty dashboards
- Weekly royalty disputes eliminated — full transaction-level transparency
- Hours of admin time saved weekly — no more dispute resolution calls
- Missed revenue recovered — backdated insurance payments automatically caught
- Software pays for itself — recovered revenue covers the cost
"It's almost like my wishes are being granted. It's being customized to what we need for our franchise. I ask and it's done."
