Toronto, Ontario — Ontario-based network Simplicity Car Care has released its 2019 annual report.
“In 2019, we had a significant level of investment in systems and infrastructure to a robust platform designed for end-to-end sustainability and performance management,” wrote president Paul Prochilo in the report.
The 22-page document contains some impressive statistics about the banner groups’ performance–including that the six members in their first year with the network saw average sales growth rates double.
“Our same-store sales grew 23.5 percent over the previous year, and our net new store
growth increased by 105 percent over the previous year,”
Prochilo also highlighted other milestones reached by the business in 2019.
“For the first time in the company’s history, we had two franchisees open up their second franchise locations. Simplicity Car Care Ottawa and Windsor both expanded with additional locations, making them multi-unit franchisees.”
While it may sound like the Simplicity business model is operating perfectly, the business also explained that its strategy would be evolving in 2020.
“In 2020, we plan to build off the platform to unlock the potential of offering collision repair services through an omnichannel approach. Our newly developed software system will be the underpinning of our retailization strategy, as well as our capacity management governance. We are exceptionally excited about the ability to maximize workflow optimization in every collision centre and distribute the claims where capacity exists.”
