Case Study: Aviation Technical Services gains faster project cost insight with IBM Cognos TM1

Aviation Technical Services gains fast, flexible insight into project-level costs with analytics

Aviation Technical Services (ATS), an aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul provider, needed deeper insight into its project-level labor costs to allocate skilled resources more efficiently and improve profitability for its clients. Their complex, manual spreadsheet-based process was inadequate, so they partnered with IBM to find a better analytics solution.

IBM, through its partner Applied Analytix, implemented the IBM Cognos TM1 platform to create a single source of truth for financial data. This solution automated forecasting, delivered fast and accurate project-level profit and loss statements, and enabled adaptable reporting. The results included an 80% reduction in forecasting timescales, enhanced cost control to maintain margins, and supported smarter, data-driven decision-making across the business.
