Colorado-based** **LIME Painting** **is a comprehensive one-stop-shop for quality painting, custom coatings and restoration solutions and is one of the brands advancing and adapting to the latest tech trends. ## Introducing lime painting The franchise recently introduced a new technology platform that allows its franchisees to run their business in the most efficient way possible. **LIME Painting** **prides itself on including its core values of “love, integrity, mission and excellence” into each of its projects—and the brand’s expert team of skilled artisans are determined to give their customers nothing short of an exceptional home improvement experience. Now with LIMEware, the painting franchise can continue to provide white-glove service to all customers and improve the company’s overall organization and functionality through this comprehensive platform.** **LIMEware is a combination of softwares in one platform that serves as a hub for all things related to owning and operating a LIME Painting franchise. From an all encompassing CRM to production management, subcontractor management and schedules, LIMEware provides franchisees a platform that makes running their business efficient and primed for scaling.** **“I like to call us an old-school painting company who is technology-driven,” said LIME Painting CEO Nick Lopez. “LIMEware is helping franchisees stay consistent and deliver high quality results to all of our customers. It is essentially a three-in-one asset because it has a customer-facing sales platform, a business-facing content management system and a customer-facing content management arm.”** **There are many advantages that LIMEware has to offer to its franchisees and** **Tyler Fuss** **is just one of many LIME Painting franchisees who gives kudos to the company for allowing him to better operate his business. Below are just a few of the ways Fuss has benefitted from LIMEware.** ## Streamlining operations **Top-level organization** **Rather than shuffling through papers or clicking around various pockets of the internet, LIME Painting franchisees have everything they need with LIMEware. The system allows franchisees to clearly view subcontractor schedules, project timelines, estimates and proposals. Fuss said that LIMEware has allowed the company to collect and organize data in a time-efficient way, which allows LIME Painting franchisees to respond to opportunities and leverage learning in real time.** **“Having a platform that includes everything a franchise owner needs in one spot rather than reinventing the wheel is huge,” said Fuss. “The software allows us to manage contracts and it even tracks when people reach out to request an estimate. The system holds us accountable and keeps us on our toes.”** **According to Fuss, the estimates that LIME Painting provides to its customers are top-notch and LIMEware has played a major part in further proving why the franchise’s estimates are the best in the business.** **“When I come across competitors, I look at their technology and then look at ours and it’s simply not comparable,” said Fuss. “I see contractors writing estimates on napkins with no warranties. Our estimates are detail-infused and are now stored in LIMEware. Our customers give us the most compliments on the estimates we write up.”** **Franchisees are also able to order LIME Painting’s apparel, business cards, signs and other products they might need to help expand their business.** **“The advantages are nearly endless and the technology continues to expand to meet the current needs of our business,” said Fuss.** ## Customer benefits **Customers love it, too** **Not only does this innovative system benefit franchisees, but LIME Painting customers are fans of the platform as well. Homeowners are able to see the production schedule, real-time notes and posts from the contractor and request any changes to a project through the new software’s local app. Thanks to LIMEware, customers needn’t be in the dark about any updates that have to do with their home. Customers will have access to all personal documents pertaining to a project: photos, estimates and contracts.** **“Whether it’s the color form or an estimate, LIMEware makes everything more accessible for both the customer and worker,” said Fuss. “There’s a lot of instances where customers work with contractors who don’t keep them in the loop on everything, which can be very frustrating because they don’t know what’s going on.”** **Not so with LIME Painting.** ## Training resources **Training at the tip of your fingers** **LIME Painting leverages exceptional training resources for new contractors or franchisees. Training modules that consist of videos and guides can all be found in LIMEware. Rather than having to pull someone out of production for training purposes, LIMEware contains “every answer one might have about the company,” according to Fuss, equipping those new to the brand to quickly ramp up and get to work** **Furthermore, LIMEware also provides high value educational resources to existing franchisees as well.** **“If you need to brush up on training in order to provide the best services to homeowners, LIMEware has everything you need,” said Fuss.** **Along with FAQs, webinars and how-to videos, LIMEware is where franchisees can keep track of all their certifications.** **“Franchisees obtain various certifications and we have tests and study tools that help them get certified in LIMEware,” said Lopez.** **LIME Painting continues to prove itself as a leader in the painting industry and with the help of LIMEware, franchisees and customers are able to communicate and work more effectively. The innovative software is just one of many reasons why the franchise attracts aspiring business owners—and then supports its franchise system through every part of the professional journey.** ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Home Services (sector) - customer service (topic) - franchise operations (topic) - LIME Painting (company) - technology platform (topic) - streamlining operations (topic) - training resources (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/how-lime-paintings-new-limeware-platform-is-making-the-brand-a-technology-leader-in-an-old-school-industry-2711600).
