Executive Summary

Managing financial performance across a large, complex franchise organization presents a fundamental challenge: data fragmentation.

Multiple systems, inconsistent accounting practices, and manual processes make it difficult to gain a clear, trustworthy view of performance. For Paul Davis Restoration, a leading disaster recovery and reconstruction franchise brand, this challenge was magnified by scale and operational complexity.

By implementing Qvinci, Paul Davis transformed how it collects, standardizes, and uses financial data – enabling faster insights, more effective coaching, and improved operational performance across its network.

The Challenge: Fragmented Data, Limited Visibility

Like many franchises, Paul Davis faced several core challenges:

  • Inconsistent financial data across locations 
  • Multiple systems and varying accounting practices 
  • Heavy reliance on manual reporting and spreadsheets 
  • Limited ability to benchmark performance across franchisees 
  • Difficulty identifying underperforming or at-risk locations 


When it comes to coaching location owners based on actionable data, Zachary Stein (Financial Analyst at Paul Davis), explains, “Just simply for us knowing where to look is more than half the battle.”

Without reliable, standardized data, even the most sophisticated reporting or dashboards fall short.

Why Paul Davis Chose Qvinci

Paul Davis adopted Qvinci to solve a foundational issue: data infrastructure – not just reporting.

Qvinci’s patented approach automates:

  • Data collection
  • Consolidation across locations
  • Mapping to a standardized chart of accounts


This creates a single, consistent financial view across the entire franchise ecosystem.

Key Reasons for Adoption

1. Trustworthy, Reconciled Data

One of the most important benefits for Paul Davis was data integrity:

We are never in the situation where we’re looking at some data and talking to them [franchisees] and they go, ‘That’s not what the numbers look like at all,’ and we’re unable to reconcile to those numbers.

This eliminated a common – and costly – problem, which was debating the data instead of acting on it.

2. Elimination of Manual Work

Before Qvinci, reporting required significant manual effort. With automation:

  • Data is synced automatically
  • Reporting is streamlined
  • Manual “gray work” is reduced

“I focus on the financial and operational data engines behind the businesses. I design applications, automate reporting, build KPI frameworks that reduce manual gray work and turn business processes into systems that we could actually scale with. My role really sits at the intersection of ops, finance, and data and translating the requirements of the business leaders into tools that enable everybody to do their jobs, and Qvinci is a critical piece of that. Especially around reducing the manual gray work.” – Zachary Stein 

3. Faster Identification of Performance Issues

With standardized data and reporting, Paul Davis Restoration can quickly pinpoint:

  • Underperforming locations
  • Outliers in financial metrics
  • Operational inefficiencies

This dramatically reduces time to insight, and time to action.

4. Scalable Data Infrastructure

Paul Davis operates in a highly complex environment:

  • Hundreds of franchise locations
  • Complex project-based accounting
  • Multiple systems and workflows

Qvinci provides a scalable foundation:

  • Works across multiple systems
  • Integrates with data warehouses via API
  • Supports custom reporting and advanced analytics

“We utilize Qvinci’s various APIs to bring data in-house into our data warehouse for additional reporting or processes.” – Zachary Stein

5. Improved Coaching & Franchise Engagement

With clearer, standardized insights, Paul Davis Restoration enables more effective coaching conversations:

  • Focused, data-driven discussions
  • Faster identification of root causes
  • More productive meetings with franchise owners

“Qvinci does help really streamline those meetings, which I do think makes the more engaged owners appreciative and helps make it easy for them to keep going to these meetings.” – Zachary Stein

This supports a core franchise goal, which is turning data into action.
