Summary
Kippie is a popular concept. In a few years’ time, the chicken specialist will be opening dozens of new outlets throughout the Netherlands and will also be delivering orders online. Old systems for keeping track of all franchise contracts no longer suffice. And you can’t check the integrity of your data with an Excel sheet. Thanks to an online tool, financial manager Aarnout Lindhout keeps a grip on his contracts.
Challenge
With ten or twenty franchisees you can still keep track of what needs to be done. However, with fifty or a hundred this becomes a lot more difficult. Financial manager Aarnout Lindhout sets to work on a contract management solution for the most important contracts. He soon learned that you shouldn’t put too much information in there.
Kippie
Kippie is a family business, founded in 1945. What began as a small-scale organization with several poulterers’ stores, at the time still under the name Krijgsman Poeliers, has grown into a large successful franchise formula. The real Kippie formula has been a success for over 20 years. Today, Kippie has grown into a business consisting of now more than 50 grill and meal stores.

What is the Case Study about
With ten or twenty franchisees you can still keep track of what needs to be done. However, with fifty or a hundred this becomes a lot more difficult. Financial manager Aarnout Lindhout sets to work on a contract management solution for the most important contracts. He soon learned that you shouldn’t put too much information in there.
What exactly does Kippie use contract management software for? To keep an eye on the contracts for which notice or extension periods are due. “That’s for ICT contracts of a few hundred euros each month, but the bulk of them are of course franchise and rental agreements. These are long-term obligations and really do involve serious turnover,”
Managing contracts through Access and Excel
“The problem with that is that everyone uses it in their own way. So the accessibility of your data is compromised.” “Before you know it, you type in the wrong date or link something to the wrong branch. Ridderkerk instead of Rotterdam, for example.”
Always view your important information
Ultimately, Lindhout arrives at the cloud platform of Mochadocs. “We have a lease, sublease and franchise agreement for each property.” Lindhout is now less concerned about data integrity: “Mochadocs allows you to link documents to specific locations very clearly. The duration and end dates are also linked.”
