Client: Kinderdance® International

www.kinderdance.com

Established in 1979, and franchising since 1985, Kinderdance is known as the original worldwide dance, motor development, gymnastics, and fitness program designed for children ages 2 to 12. Says Kinderdance President/CEO Richard Maltese, "Kinderdance is unique in that all of our programs incorporate educational concepts in a developmentally designed curriculum that teaches to the total child, emphasizing development of self-confidence and self-esteem in young children.

With ClassJuggler, we find that our franchises spend less time on business practices, allowing them to spend more time doing what they love – working with children.

The Need:

Like any growing franchise organization, especially on an international level, Kinderdance always kept a keen eye toward any business best practices that would help their franchisees to operate more efficiently. Particularly for those whose primary draw in owning a Kinderdance franchise was a love for children, dance, or gymnastics, rather than business, Kinderdance leadership team wanted to reduce the normal administrative burdens of operating a business, allowing them to focus on their students.

ClassJuggler made every effort to accommodate the unique needs of our franchise organization, even designing Kinderdance-specific customizations to make the system work smoothly for our business.

The Solution: ClassJuggler

"One of our franchisees had heard good things about ClassJuggler and brought it to our attention," Maltese explains. "We investigated and saw two immediate advantages; by using ClassJuggler, our franchisees would no longer need to buy and learn how to use a program like QuickBooks to manage their finances. Second, they would no longer need to manually transfer financial data from their records in order to submit their monthly royalty reports."

Indeed, since partnering with ClassJuggler, Kinderdance franchisees do not submit a monthly report at all; Maltese and his colleagues at headquarters are able to automatically and instantly generate reports for all of franchises around the globe on their behalf.

ClassJuggler works hard to keep strong and consistent relations with us. Our franchisees are very happy with the ClassJuggler training, setup, and ongoing support. ClassJuggler's diligence in this means one less thing we need to handle.
