Case Study: Northern Tool + Equipment achieves scalable real estate management and saves time and money with MRI ProLease Direct

How A Multi-location Retailer Scaled Its Business Effectively With Amtdirect's Cloud-based Solution

Northern Tool + Equipment, a multi-location retailer operating in 17 states with 118 leases, 400 employees and about $1.5M in annual revenue, struggled with spreadsheet-driven, manual real estate processes that constrained its ability to scale. To manage its growing portfolio more strategically, Northern Tool engaged MRI ProLease Direct to deploy a cloud-based real estate management platform.

MRI ProLease Direct delivered a fast, integrated cloud solution that streamlined lease administration, resolved cross-location issues, and gave real estate managers better analytics for cost-effective decisions. The implementation produced immediate ROI—approximately $1,600 saved and 60 hours saved per year—improving operational visibility and enabling Northern Tool to confidently grow its portfolio.
