## Story

In a recent case study, EZ CERT partner SmartCompliance examined the impact the recent implementation of its new in-house tracking solution has had on EZ CERT's franchise clients.

Since entering into the partnership with JBKnowledge and SmartCompliance, the insurance compliance management company has not only been able to provide its clients with real-time access to the compliance metrics of their franchise systems, but that information has helped EZ CERT improve the compliance of its collective client base by 65%.

“We had a system in place, but it wasn’t user-friendly. It only existed on our back end, which left our clients in the dark until we generated a monthly report. The clear-cut answer was SmartCompliance,” said EZ CERT president Doug Groves.

Though the partnership is young, is has allowed EZ CERT to deliver its clients a better analysis of their data and ensure every franchisee is fully compliant through a streamlined COI collection process.
