Case Study: ATK Space Components Division achieves consolidated enterprise forecasting and significant time savings with Quantrix

ATK Improve Business Management with Consolidated Plans and Forecasts

ATK Space Components Division, an aerospace contractor that builds satellite components, was struggling with plant-level Excel models that broke under data volume and calculation complexity when trying to consolidate enterprise forecasting. Seeking a desktop-based, scalable calculation engine, ATK turned to Quantrix to replace fragile Excel workflows and enable consolidated, time-phased planning and forecasting.

Quantrix implemented a unified forecasting model—built for booked business in about two weeks and in production within a month—that consolidated new and existing business, supported four-year outlooks, and scaled to over 1,000 programs. The Quantrix solution cut file sizes from 20–50 MB to ~4 MB, reduced formulas from over a million to under 400, shortened forecast updates from days to hours, and saved “a couple hundred hours a month,” freeing finance staff for higher-value analysis.
