Build the budget station by station, roll it up to the number leadership signs
Annual budgeting in aviation services is mostly spreadsheet tennis between group finance and station heads. Cohelion replaces the spreadsheets with one shared model, station-customer at the bottom, network total at the top, every assumption visible.
The annual budget lands, and nobody at station level owns the number
Finance issues a target, the stations push back, group revises, and the stations push back again. Six weeks later a budget lands that nobody at station level feels accountable to, because nobody at station level built it.
How the combination works
The high-level path the data takes to produce the outcome.
A bottom-up volume forecast at station-customer level, the start of every line.
Live actuals against the budget, by station and customer, with variance drill-down.
Station heads co-own their numbers. Group sees the same number, rolled up. No spreadsheet tennis.
What changes for the C-suite
One concrete shift per role, what they can do tomorrow that they couldn't do yesterday.
Owns a budget the operation believes in, and reforecasts in days, not weeks.
Station heads commit to numbers they built, accountability lands where work happens.
Plans commercial activity against a believable volume, not an inherited spreadsheet.
