Case Study: SMBC Aviation Capital achieves faster, automated aircraft utilisation reporting with Version 1

SMBC Aviation Capital cuts aircraft report processing from 30+ minutes to 5 with Version 1

SMBC Aviation Capital, a major aviation lessor, faced a significant challenge in manually processing hundreds of complex monthly aircraft utilization reports from airlines, a task that consumed 50 people-days each month. Partnering with Version 1, they sought to automate this process using innovative technologies to improve accuracy and free up resources for more strategic work.

Version 1 developed an automated solution called AURA using its Smart Action Suite and Microsoft Azure technologies. This implementation reduced the processing time for each report from over 30 minutes to just five minutes, completely eradicating manual effort. The solution provided faster access to critical data for better forecasting and risk management, and it created new opportunities for SMBC Aviation Capital to scale and offer more dynamic services to its airline customers.
