What we built: Conversational and predictive AI for franchise networks

A leading ice cream franchise operator in Latin America operates one of the largest ice cream franchise networks in the region. Yet many franchisees underutilize the digital tools available to them.

FrIA was designed to bridge that gap—combining knowledge assistance, training, and predictive analytics into a single intelligent layer.

The challenge: Operational dependency and underused digital tools

Franchisees struggled with:

• Using corporate applications effectively.

• Relying on support teams for basic configurations.

• Limited adoption of available features.

• Repetitive support requests are consuming central resources.

The result: inefficiencies for both headquarters and franchise operators.

Strategic evolution

From reactive support to an autonomous decision engine
