Automating asset retirement obligation management
A cloud-based ARO platform that replaced manual spreadsheets with automated, audit-ready compliance.
Client: Yesway
The problem
Yesway needed to replace error-prone, manual Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) calculations with a system that could keep pace with evolving accounting standards like ASC 410-20. Manual spreadsheet tracking made it difficult to maintain accuracy across a growing number of sites and left compliance reporting vulnerable to human error.
The solution
We deployed our cloud-based ARO Manager SaaS platform on AWS, automating the full asset retirement obligation lifecycle from initial cost estimation through GL accretion and depreciation posting. The platform runs on a serverless AWS architecture, requiring no infrastructure management on Yesway's part.
The measured delivery result
The platform eliminated manual calculation errors, streamlined compliance with ASC 410-20, and gave Yesway real-time visibility into asset retirement liabilities across every site—with faster close cycles from automated GL postings. The platform is live in production at yesway.com, powering ARO compliance across Yesway's retail network.
