DALLAS-FORT WORTH, Texas, July 28, 2026, Aerospace and manufacturing form the backbone of the North Texas economy, yet these capital-intensive industries face a persistent financial blind spot: the time lag between operational activity and financial reporting. Many firms do not identify labor overruns, vendor billing errors, or material waste until the month-end close, by which time margins have already eroded and capital is committed.
Today, DFW-based Takum, a predictive operational intelligence provider, and Irving-based CHA Business Solutions, a technology and cybersecurity consultancy, are announcing a strategic partnership to close this visibility gap.
By combining Takum’s cost-monitoring technology with CHA’s secure enterprise infrastructure, the partnership provides North Texas operations leaders with a direct view of their financial health as work happens, rather than after the fact. Instead of waiting for a monthly report to discover a variance, leaders can now identify and correct cost overruns on the factory floor while work is still in progress, protecting profit margins before they disappear.
The partnership combines Takum’s Operational Truth Layer™ with CHA’s expertise in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data engineering, enterprise integration, and managed services. Together, the companies will help operations-heavy organizations connect operational and financial data, identify emerging cost overruns, and deploy predictive intelligence across secure enterprise environments.
Companies often discover cost overruns too late
Many companies uncover labor overruns, billing errors, and unsupported vendor charges during month-end close, after the work is finished and the money has already been committed.
The problem is not awareness. It is whether operational data reaches decision-makers early enough to act.
PwC’s 2026 Digital Trends in Operations Survey of 767 U.S. operations and supply chain leaders found that “89% of operations leaders say their tech investments haven’t fully delivered the expected results,” while 87% said “poor data quality has impacted their organization’s ability to achieve value for digital initiatives.”¹
By the time an operational issue appears in a financial report, the overrun has often become a record of what happened rather than a decision about what to do next.
Optimizing EBITDA and Working Capital with Operational Truth Layer™
The partnership optimizes EBITDA and unlocks working capital by eliminating the latency between shop-floor execution and financial oversight. By deploying Takum’s Operational Truth Layer™, which identifies emerging cost leakage in real-time, alongside CHA’s secure cloud and data infrastructure, organizations establish a hardened financial control layer that prevents capital erosion before it hits the balance sheet.
This collaboration shifts financial management from reactive reporting to proactive cash-flow protection. By identifying labor-hour variances on day three rather than day thirty, leadership can immediately adjust production sequences or staffing levels. This intervention preserves margins and ensures that operational performance directly supports free cash flow and enterprise value.
CHA Business Solutions provides the technical foundation to scale this intelligence across complex enterprise environments. Their expertise ensures that Operational Truth Layer™ integrates seamlessly with ERP systems and financial controls, maintaining rigorous cybersecurity and compliance standards while delivering actionable financial insights.
Strategic Margin-Protection Audit
Takum and CHA are launching a Strategic Margin-Protection Audit specifically designed for CFOs of North Texas aerospace and manufacturing firms. This Performance Audit provides a low-risk, high-reward review of financial health by surfacing hidden labor variances and vendor billing inaccuracies within current work orders. This initiative allows finance leaders to evaluate operational data readiness and capture immediate margin-protection opportunities without disrupting core operations.
“Predictive intelligence is only valuable when organizations can trust the data, systems, and infrastructure behind it,” said Imsulen ‘Allen’ Jamir, Founder and CEO of Takum. “CHA brings the technical depth and customer-first implementation expertise needed to turn advanced intelligence into dependable enterprise infrastructure. Together, we are building the next generation of predictive intelligence on secured infrastructure.”
“Organizations are looking for practical AI solutions that create measurable value without compromising security, governance, or reliability,” said Andrew Huynh, Founding Partner of CHA Business Solutions. “Takum is applying predictive intelligence to a real and expensive business problem. This partnership allows us to combine that intelligence with the technology foundation customers need to deploy it confidently.”
