Case Study: Arby’s achieves major lease accounting savings with MRI ProLease Direct

Restaurant & Retail Company Relies On Amtdirect To Save Major Dollars On Lease Accounting Processes

Arby’s, through its Erie County Investment Co. operations, was managing 203 leases across restaurants, retail locations, and multi-tenant commercial properties. Relying on spreadsheets and scattered documents made it difficult to track leased and owned properties, caused time-consuming file searches, and led to costly mistakes such as missed lease deadlines and expiration dates. To address these challenges, the company turned to MRI ProLease Direct’s AMTdirect lease accounting and portfolio management solution.

MRI ProLease Direct implemented AMTdirect to centralize portfolio data in a cloud-based system that could be accessed anytime, anywhere, by anyone. The solution corrected discrepancies, improved visibility, and shifted portfolio management from reactive to proactive. Arby’s reported savings that more than covered the annual software fee, including approximately $2,600 saved per year and about 101 hours saved per year.
