CHRGD vs Claromentis

CHRGD automates franchise royalty calculations and collections from sales data in franchisees’ point-of-sale systems. Franchisors can configure royalty and marketing fund rules, including percentages, caps, minimums, deferrals, and grace periods.

It includes unlimited franchisee locations, POS integrations, automated calculations, and email support.
