&lt;p&gt;From what I&#39;ve seen, most franchise teams at that scale end up combining tools rather than finding one platform that covers everything, since centralized brand consistency and true local-level flexibility tend to pull in different directions and no single product fully resolves that tension. SOCi&#39;s positioning around exactly that centralized-versus-local tradeoff suggests the category itself treats it as an ongoing balancing act rather than a solved problem, which lines up with why a lot of brands still layer something like Yext on top for the data consistency side specifically.&lt;/p&gt;
