Case Study: Marine Layer Streamlines ASC 842 Compliance and Retail Expansion with Occupier

Marine Layer Implements Occupier for Real Estate Expansion

Marine Layer, the San Francisco-based DTC retailer turned brick-and-mortar brand, needed a better way to manage lease accounting and support rapid store expansion. As they moved to ASC 842 compliance and grew to more than 50 locations, their team needed a solution that could replace scattered Excel files and PDF lease documents while improving collaboration between real estate and accounting.

Marine Layer implemented Occupier’s lease management and lease accounting software to centralize lease data, streamline ASC 842 implementation, and support forecasting for new stores. With Occupier, the team achieved a smooth audit and clean audit opinion, reduced time spent on lease updates, and gained better visibility into rent schedules, approvals, and renewal dates. Occupier also helped make month-end and year-end close more efficient by letting the team export journal entries directly into their ERP system.
