The patterns of agency distribution, franchising, or establishing branch-centered businesses are implemented in various geographical locations for many physical businesses and prove to be a successful model for many enterprises. However, implementing an online sales system for businesses with such patterns involves special considerations and complexities, many of which are related to the software infrastructure and designing a comprehensive system to cover the requirements of such patterns.

It can be boldly stated that a complete and comprehensive system that can seamlessly address the needs of agency-centered and franchise businesses does not currently exist. Most businesses with such patterns, if they have taken steps towards online sales, have internally designed and implemented the required software, which may have various shortcomings and weaknesses.

Companies with agency-centered and franchise business models may operate in multiple B2B and B2C layers, and the integration of the online sales system must be able to cover processes across all layers. Some layers may be managed internally, while others may serve as complementary systems. Integrating it with software systems used in the business, such as EEP and CRM, depends entirely on the technology and capabilities of the software in use.

Concerns such as sending from the nearest agency to the buyer, displaying products based on the inventory of the nearby agency to the user's geographical location, commission-centric sales without inventory, exclusive sales of brand products, selling multiple brands of one product in a brand shop, and sharing customer orders among agencies for processing each agency's share of the order are topics and requirements that need attention when launching an online sales system for such businesses. Designing software should address these considerations.

Issues like calculating franchise fees based on the type of goods or a specific product, selling from the organizational credit, integrating inventory and recorded orders with local inventory, and the offline sales system are also critical aspects that need to be addressed when launching an online sales system for such businesses.
