As a brand, we're on the home stretch to truly utilizing all GGPro has to offer. Read more for information on the adoption process and attending a GGPro training session. Plus, view 2019 regional meetings agenda and locations.
GGPro Adoption and Training Sessions
We know many franchisees have adopted certain functions within GGPro, but are not consistently using the software in its entirety. The Home Office is committed to helping our franchisees push through to full adoption within the month of September. As such, we are holding 10 two-day training sessions in the U.S. and Canada. Please find a location near you and ask your FBC for the details.
We've targeted the full adoption and implementation for September 30, 2019 in order to have good, clean data as we move toward the end of the year. Plans for auto reporting are in the works for early 2020. We cannot pull auto reports without data, and this requires every invoice to be initiated in GGPro and exported to QBO. In order to bring about full compliance, locations not invoicing through GGPro by September 30, 2019 will be subject to an audit.
