"In the first phase of the crisis, we conducted online training with franchise partners, managed the crisis according to the prescribed measures, and implemented new ways of doing business," Borko Ribić, sales director at Carwiz, said in a statement. "We have invested all our knowledge and efforts to make sure that all preparation for the possible season is complete and our franchise partners are ready to work."

Thanks to new measures, Carwiz’s advantage is the innovation given to franchisees upon signing the franchise contract and complete independence when it comes to fleet supply and business models. 

“By implementing Carwiz standards, each franchise partner retains business independence, which by a contract, gives the partners an opportunity to take advantage of the brand as a whole," Ribić added. "Each partner can achieve complete success with a method of proven quality and adjusting to the market at hand.”
