Up to 400 cost objects per turnaround, fully automated from financial, workforce, operational and commercial data. Find the weak points. Walk into negotiations with real numbers.
Cost Analysis combines financial, workforce, operational and commercial data into a single activity-based cost model, at the granularity of one turnaround, one cost object, one customer. AI handles anomaly detection and natural-language querying on top.
With 400 cost objects per turnaround, Cohelion turns ABC data into specific decisions across pricing, operations, network and capex, not another dashboard.
Rank every contract on real margin, not allocated. Typically 15-25% sit below the line at true cost. The renegotiation list writes itself.
Flat 'narrowbody' pricing hides ~18 minutes of extra ramp work on a long-haul widebody, every turn. Price the AC type, not the category.
The cost of meeting a tighter SLA at +3 vs +15 minutes shows up here, not in the contract. Re-priced SLAs typically recover 100-300 bps.
Most turnarounds are dominated by 6-8 activities. Cost them at the activity, not the function, and you see which six are eating the margin.
Standard costs are budgeted. Actuals run ~30% wider in places that nobody investigates, because nobody can attribute. Cohelion can.
The right crew for a 320 with 70 pax isn't the right crew for the same 320 full. Right-sizing per AC-type and load releases 5-10% per turn.
Compare stations on real, mix-adjusted cost, not on raw spend. The gap between best and worst typically runs 12-20%. That's the playbook.
Ground damage is the largest single recoverable cost line in handling. Attributing it by activity, station and shift turns insurance into a managed line.
Justify a new belt loader on the activity it accelerates and the cost line it replaces, not on a station average. Capex cases survive board review.

Most cost-analytics tools start from the official P&L and hope nobody asks where the noise went. Cohelion normalises the P&L first, then allocates, so the number on your screen doesn't wobble month to month.
Normalised first: peak costs spread, prior-period bookings corrected, revenue rebuilt from source.
The turnaround is the atomic unit. Customer and AC-type totals are the same money, re-dimensioned.
Every allocation sums back to the Normalised P&L. Always.
That's the work most tools hide. We expose it because that's what makes the numbers usable in a negotiation.
The Direct / Indirect ratio is also a data-quality signal: 90% direct = well-instrumented, 20% direct = mostly proxy.
Marginal cost = Direct + Indirect. Overhead is for capacity decisions, not pricing decisions.
Delays carry an hourly cost: staff, GSE, contractor rates. Cost Analysis quantifies that cost per delay event and attributes it to airline, ramp, weather, or your own ops. Use the output to recover the dollars from whoever caused the delay.
A cost model this granular produces more numbers than anyone can watch. So the scanning is automated: a multi-dimensional sweep across stations, customers, services and shifts raises the patterns no dashboard filter would catch, while they are still small enough to act on.
Paired with the other products, Cost Analysis becomes one of these. Each is a decision somebody has to make, not a feature.
"We're excited about Cohelion's Profitability solution and are eager for the future defined by data-driven operations, that will sharpen our costs and commercial negotiations."
A pilot on six months of your actual operational and financial data, turned into a working ABC cost model, in six weeks. Not a demo. Not slideware. The same model that scales to the rest of your network the quarter after.
Cohelion-led, with a proven intake. Tailored to your operation. Your variations are usually ones we've mapped.
Cohelion customers typically recover around 2 percentage points of margin within 12 months, meaningful on an industry base of 3-6%. Our pricing takes a small share of that uplift, per turnaround we measure. The rest stays with you.
Bring an anonymised dataset; walk out with a costed turnaround. No theatre.
