A business case for Tommy's Express Car Wash

Attentive Was Built for E-Commerce. TommyClub Was Built for Franchises.

Voxie gives Tommy's Express the SMS infrastructure that works the way your franchise model does, with corporate control, local execution, and TommyClub member growth at every location.

Who We Are

The Only SMS Platform Built Exclusively for Franchise Brands.

Not retrofitted. Not a DTC tool with franchise features bolted on. Built from the ground up for how multi-location brands actually operate.

500+
franchise brand customers

From QSR to home services to membership brands, built for the franchise model, not adapted to it.

4.8/5

No 6-month onboarding. No waiting for your implementation queue. Live in weeks.

Why Franchise Brands Are Different

A DTC brand has one account, one audience, and one marketing team. A franchise brand has 260 locations, 260 owners, and a corporate team that needs to control the message without micromanaging every send. No amount of configuration in a DTC tool fixes that, because the gap is structural.

Attentive, Klaviyo, and Braze are exceptional tools for e-commerce. They were not designed for a brand where a franchisee in Dayton needs to run a local promotion without going off-brand, or where corporate needs to push a national campaign that lands from each location's own number.

Voxie was. Every feature, from the franchise hub to location-level analytics, corporate override, local number texting, and compliance management, exists because a franchise brand asked for it.

What Attentive Does Well
  • Large DTC subscriber list management
  • High-volume e-commerce campaigns
  • Shopify and DTC platform integrations
What Tommy's Actually Needs
  • Location-level segmentation and franchisee controls
  • Corporate push with local execution from each location
  • Compliance and consent managed at the platform level, not by your team

What We See in the Market.

Based on how leading car wash membership brands are using SMS today.

General SMS tools don't understand the franchise model

Attentive, Klaviyo, and similar platforms are built for DTC brands with one account and one audience. Franchise brands need location-level segmentation, franchisee controls, and compliance baked in, not bolted on.

No local marketing tools for franchisees

Location owners want to drive wash volume in their market. Without a corporate-controlled local tool, they go rogue or do nothing.

Membership conversion happens at exit, not in an email

The moment after a single-wash purchase is the highest-intent window for TommyClub conversion. Email misses it. SMS doesn't.

Churn happens quietly, with no automated intervention

Members who stop scanning get no outreach. By the time you notice, the cancellation is already done.

Corporate controls what goes out. Locations see their own performance.

Members get messages timed to their actual wash behavior, not a batch schedule.

Membership Conversion

Single-wash customers receive an automated SMS offer within 2 hours of exit: "Your first month of TommyClub is on us." No staff involvement required.

Frequency Campaigns

Members who haven't scanned in 14+ days get a personalized nudge from the local location. Seasonal hooks, not generic blasts.

Win-Back

Lapsed members at 45 days of inactivity receive a reactivation offer before the churn decision is permanent. Automated, segmented, tracked.

Local Franchisee Marketing

Corporate pre-approves seasonal templates. Location owners deploy from the approved library. No rogue campaigns, no compliance risk.
