As franchising continues to evolve, businesses are increasingly turning to AI to drive growth and efficiency. Ligtenberg explains that AI is not just a luxury but a necessity for franchises looking to maintain consistency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
One key innovation is AI-powered customer service representatives (CSRs), which can handle bookings, answer inquiries, and provide instant support—helping franchises avoid missed opportunities and ensuring customers receive prompt service.
“Our AI-powered CSR ensures no call goes unanswered, helping businesses capture more leads and improve customer experience,” Ligtenberg says.
AI-driven automation not only improves response times but also allows business owners to reallocate resources, focusing on customer interactions and strategic growth. By implementing AI solutions, franchises can cut down operational costs, optimize scheduling, and improve employee productivity.
For franchise brands, maintaining consistency across multiple locations is a challenge. AI tools like Housecall Pro’s automation features help franchise owners establish standardized workflows, reducing human error and allowing franchisees to focus on customer service and business growth.

Ligtenberg shares real-world success stories of franchises that have scaled efficiently using these technologies, emphasizing that adopting AI now is crucial for long-term success.
AI is already making a significant impact in the home service franchise industry. Many franchisees who adopted AI-driven automation saw immediate improvements in their customer retention, operational efficiency, and bottom-line growth.
One case study highlights a franchisee who struggled with manual scheduling inefficiencies and missed customer calls. By integrating AI-powered scheduling and CSR agents, they saw a 35% increase in bookings and a 20% reduction in missed calls within the first three months.
Another success story involves a franchise that previously relied on paper-based invoicing and payment collection, which led to delayed transactions and accounting errors. After switching to Housecall Pro’s AI-driven payment processing, they streamlined their cash flow, reduced outstanding invoices, and improved customer satisfaction with faster billing.
Ligtenberg emphasizes that AI will continue to redefine how franchise operations function. With advancements in machine learning, predictive analytics, and process automation, franchise businesses will be able to:
✔ Personalize customer experiences using AI-driven insights
✔ Optimize technician routing and dispatching to reduce fuel and labor costs
✔ Enhance lead generation by automating follow-ups and nurturing potential customers
✔ Ensure compliance with franchise standards using AI-powered checklists and auditing tools
“The franchises that embrace AI today will be the ones that lead their industries tomorrow,” Ligtenberg states. He advises franchise owners to start experimenting with AI in small steps, integrating it into areas such as customer service, scheduling, and payments, before expanding into more complex applications.
With AI becoming a fundamental tool for success, this episode provides valuable insights into how franchisors and franchisees can integrate AI seamlessly into their operations.
