Why Franchise With VaVia?
- Distinct Market Advantage – With over 70 years of experience, we utilize our industry relationships to foster connections and enhance our purchasing power. Our model places significant emphasis on managing disposal costs, which can account for up to 40% of total operating expenses. We pre-negotiate pricing for our Owners at or below market rates, offering a clear competitive edge. For instance, we collaborate with Ford to supply Franchise Partners with trucks and top-tier maintenance solutions, while also proactively negotiating third-party labor rates to ensure our trucks remain operational and costs stay low.
- Technology – As a technology-driven waste removal company, we leverage our web-based platform, Docket, to optimize business operations for Franchise Owners. Docket facilitates efficient management of daily tasks, keeping Franchise Owners informed about customer records, history, routing, dispatching, inventory, customer ETAs, and billing. Additionally, the Contractor Portal enables easy service requests and bill payments, along with tracking capabilities for trucks and assets.
- Streamlined Approach – By providing exclusively 10-yard and 15-yard roll-off containers, we enhance truck efficiency and lower labor costs. Our focus on minimizing site impact and maneuvering within tight spaces creates a substantial market opportunity, particularly as larger waste haulers struggle to meet customer needs. In fact, we often receive referrals from competitors for “unserviceable” customers who face size or space limitations.
- Six Revenue Streams – Our model includes six key revenue streams: Delivery Fees, Overage Fees, Haul Rates, Rental Charges, Dry Runs, and Live Loads. VaVia Owners enjoy the advantages of multiple revenue sources, leading to rapid returns and attractive profit margins. Additionally, Franchise Partners engage with a diverse clientele that encompasses both residential and commercial sectors, catering to B2C and B2B markets alike.
- High Customer Acquisition & Retention – As a relationship-driven business, we prioritize quality service and support to ensure customer satisfaction. Our contractor clients, both residential and commercial, often return to us as they transition from job to job. Exceptional service helps us gain entry, while ongoing support keeps customers coming back, resulting in a 95% retention rate. Our technology platform, Docket, includes customer acquisition reports and various features that help us stay informed and foster mutually beneficial partnerships.
