Case Study: Famous Footwear achieves streamlined lease portfolio management, improved communication, and $13K/500-hour annual savings with MRI ProLease Direct

How Famous Footwear Used Amtdirect To Increase Communication & Effectively Manage Its Entire Lease Portfolio

Famous Footwear, a Caleres-owned retail chain with 1,200 locations, struggled with manual document management and inconsistent reporting that made effective lease administration and business decisions difficult. To fix this, Famous Footwear adopted MRI ProLease Direct’s AMTdirect lease-administration platform to centralize documents and data and improve communication between teams.

MRI ProLease Direct broke down silos between real estate and finance with built-in document management, unlimited custom fields, and flexible reporting—streamlining CAM increases and rent calculations. The implementation delivered measurable impact: about $13,000 saved per year and roughly 500 hours saved annually, plus faster, more informed portfolio management.
