Franchise territory management API for the UK

UK franchise networks — from QSR chains to retail and service franchises — commonly grant territory or delivery-radius exclusivity as part of the franchise agreement, particularly in dense city catchment areas where two locations sitting close together can genuinely compete for the same customers. Enforcing that boundary manually means relying on complaints; enforcing it with a geofence means the system flags it directly.

Fencemaker lets you define a franchise territory as a polygon and treat it as an active, monitored zone.

Why this matters for UK franchise operations

Dense urban catchment areas are where disputes actually happen. UK cities pack franchise locations close together — precise polygon boundaries, not radius approximations, are what actually distinguish one location's territory from its neighbor's.

UK GDPR governs how delivery-partner and customer location data gets handled. Self-hosted deployment means retention and processing policy for that data stay under your direct control.

How the trigger flow works

POST https://your-app.com/webhooks/fencemaker
{
  "event": "geofence.exit",
  "zone_id": "zone_franchise_territory_leeds_north",
  "device_id": "delivery_partner_5502",
  "timestamp": "2026-08-18T18:20:00Z",
  "coordinates": { "lat": 53.8175, "lng": -1.5491 }
}

Route that event to Slack, Telegram, or directly into your franchise-management platform.

What you get out of the box

• Polygon-based territory definitions for precise, dispute-resistant boundaries
• Native Slack and Telegram webhook delivery
• Overlap detection between adjacent franchise zones
• Self-hosted deployment, keeping delivery-partner and customer location data under your control
• An ops portal for managing territories without engineering involvement

If your franchise agreements describe an exclusive territory with no way to monitor it operationally, Fencemaker turns that description into something the system actively tracks.
