Case Study: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport achieves full visibility into budgeting and forecasting and eliminates manual tasks with insightsoftware Longview

Longview Provides Full Visibility into Budgeting and Forecasting Processes and Eliminates Manual Tasks

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport faced a highly complex budgeting and forecasting challenge driven by dozens of revenue sources, extensive departmentalization (112 departments, 80 cost centers, multiple business units) and annual airline settlements. Their legacy system required exporting data to a 40‑tab Excel workbook and manual monthly allocations, creating time-consuming work, error risk and delayed decision‑making. To address this, DFW selected insightsoftware’s Longview Performance Management application.

insightsoftware implemented Longview in phased deployments (expense budgeting, revenue forecasting, capital cash‑flow and reporting), providing driver‑based forecasting, monthly P&L rollups, extensive drill‑down and integrated allocations. The result: manual spreadsheet processes eliminated, faster interim reporting and real‑time visibility into expense, revenue and capital cash flows, reduced staff effort and error risk, more accurate forecasts and simpler year‑end airline settlements.
