Case Study: American Airlines Credit Union achieves 40‑hour reporting‑cycle savings and streamlined, more accurate financial reporting with Strata Decision Technology's Axiom

American Airlines Federal Credit Union Enhances Reporting, Saves Time, and Improves Usability with Axiom

American Airlines Credit Union, serving more than 312,000 members and managing assets above $8 billion, needed to streamline financial reporting, improve the timeliness and accuracy of data inputs, standardize month-end report preparation, and provide a user-friendly interface that didn’t require ongoing Accounting team support. To address these challenges, the Credit Union selected Strata Decision Technology and its Axiom Planning and Axiom Reporting & Analytics platform after evaluating enterprise performance management solutions.

Strata Decision Technology implemented the unified Axiom platform to integrate budgeting, forecasting, planning, and reporting, eliminating manual copy‑and‑paste workflows and linking data end-to-end. The solution automated accruals and variance reporting, pre-populated year-end actuals to improve forecasting, and required just one training session for users. As a result, American Airlines Credit Union saved at least 40 hours per reporting cycle, achieved 92–96% faster data entry, reduced data-entry prep from 4–6 hours to 15–20 minutes, and freed accounting staff to focus on analysis.
