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

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

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), a large, highly departmentalized operation with complex revenue streams and annual airline settlements, relied on a labor-intensive, error-prone process of 40‑tab Excel workbooks and an outdated system to produce budgets and forecasts. The airport needed cost-center and monthly allocations, better interim reporting and visibility, and a way to reduce manual effort and year‑end surprises.

DFW implemented the Longview Performance Management platform in phases to integrate expense budgeting, revenue forecasting and capital cash‑flow planning. The solution eliminated manual spreadsheets, enabled driver-based and monthly allocations, and provided deep drill‑down and real‑time reporting—saving staff time, reducing errors, improving forecasting accuracy, simplifying year‑end airline settlements and giving full visibility into capital budgets and cash flow.
