Case Study: Metso Automation achieves faster, more accurate budgeting and reporting with Strata Decision Technology's Axiom

Metso Automation Improves Financial Reporting and Budgeting Process Leveraging Axiom Software for Manufacturers

Metso Automation, a global manufacturer serving mining, oil & gas and paper industries, struggled with manual, spreadsheet-driven reporting, inconsistent answers from disparate data sources, and limited visibility into key business drivers. To tackle these challenges Metso engaged Strata Decision Technology and adopted Axiom Software (Axiom Budgeting and Forecasting) for budgeting, forecasting and reporting.

Strata Decision Technology implemented the Axiom solution, including the Axiom cloud, to automate data aggregation, provide reproducible templates and integrate financial and operational data. The result: dramatically reduced budgeting and month‑end cycle times, higher forecasting accuracy, ad hoc and drill‑through reporting, a single trusted data view and improved KPI visibility across plants — delivering measurable time savings, faster reporting and more reliable decision support.
