Case Study: Jenny Craig

You’re watching TV, happily reclining in the Barcalounger with a bag of Cheetos, when a commercial comes on. Dozens of fit people are gleefully waving enormous pants that used to fit them — before they discovered Jenny Craig. One of the leading businesses in the weight loss field, Jenny Craig is growing tremendously by shrinking waist sizes. And many Jenny Craig franchises rely heavily on MAS 90 Evolution/2 software.

This software contains very detailed systems to help Jenny Craig keep track of an enormous amount of information. According to Don Garabedian, director of finance, "My General Ledger is pushing 4000 accounts," he says. "Because for each of the 50 stores, we have 40 to 50 account numbers for revenue and expense items in just the profit and loss section."
