About Xpera
Xpera is the consulting practice of FASTANDEAZY LTD, providing strategic technology and marketing consulting to franchise networks, multi-site operators, and PE-backed businesses across the UK.
What We Do
We work with franchise businesses at critical moments — acquisitions, technology transformations, rebrands, and growth phases — providing the senior-level expertise that would normally require a full-time CIO or CMO hire.
Our approach is practical, not theoretical. We’ve held board-level technology and marketing roles at major franchise organisations. We understand the relationship between franchisor and franchisee, the commercial pressure to deliver operational gearing, and the reality of implementing change across distributed networks.
Why the Franchise Sector
It’s a sector we know deeply — not from outside looking in, but from having led technology and marketing inside franchise networks for decades.
Franchise businesses have unique technology and marketing challenges. Generic consultancies rarely understand the dynamics of franchisor-franchisee relationships, the need for systems that scale across independently operated locations, or the importance of solutions that franchisees will actually adopt. We do — because we’ve been there.
Our Approach
Senior-Level Expertise, Flexible Engagement
Access CIO and CMO-level capability without the overhead of a permanent hire. We work on a project basis, as retained advisors, or as interim executives.
Franchise-Native Thinking
Every recommendation is grounded in the realities of franchise operations: tight margins, distributed locations, independent operators, and the need for technology that serves the entire network.
Measurable Outcomes
We link every engagement to business results. Whether it’s cost savings, revenue growth, operational efficiency, or successful integration, we measure what matters.
Technology + Marketing
Most consultancies offer one or the other. We combine both, because the best franchise transformations require technology and marketing working together.
