RMH Franchise Corporation - Customer Case Study

RMH Franchise Corporation partnered with Ameresco in 2015 to handle invoice processing and utility data management for its portfolio of 160+ Applebee’s restaurants across 15 states, with annual consumption of roughly 72.9 million kWh of electricity and 3.33 million therms of natural gas. RMH needed timely, auditable invoice processing, clearer utility data, lower energy costs, mitigation of price risk and greater budget certainty.

Ameresco delivered invoice processing, utility data management and electricity and natural gas supply procurement, conducting contract and rate assessments and providing monthly cost-avoidance, quarterly budget-risk reports, daily market updates and real-time contract status. The engagement produced measurable year-over-year savings and cost avoidance—projected energy procurement and data-management savings of $1,286,829—resulting in reduced energy costs, improved audit confidence and more predictable budgets for RMH Franchise Corporation.
