Franchise operations platform for home service brands
Authority Brands operates a portfolio of 15 home service franchise brands across 2,000+ territories in North America and Latin America, supported by a corporate team of ~300. The tech stack centers on ServiceTitan (field service software), NetSuite (ERP), and AWS infrastructure (Redshift, Lambda, Glue, RDS), with finance and operations teams driving reporting, reconciliation, and forecasting — pain points around payment failures, scheduling compression, and inventory management suggest the platform is focused on operational efficiency and cash-flow reliability across a fragmented franchisee base.
Authority Brands is a private franchise management company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Columbia, Maryland. The company holds and operates 15 home service brand franchises (swimming pool maintenance, plumbing, cleaning, pest control, HVAC, restoration, and related services) across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. More than 1,000 franchise owners operate the 2,000+ territories under Authority's umbrella. The corporate organization of ~300 staff provides training, operational support, marketing systems, and technology infrastructure to franchisees. Active hiring is concentrated in operations and corporate support functions, with secondary focus on construction, finance, and sales roles.
