Operational demand forecasting
Helps managers plan staffing and capacity using forecasts based on operating history, weather, and facility schedules.
Operations leaders needed a near-term demand estimate that reflected more than last year’s average.
Reporting & analyticsWhat changed
The pipeline combines operating history with weather, air quality, holidays, school calendars, facility schedules, and day-of-week behavior, then shows the factors and manual adjustments behind the forecast.
Key requirements
The forecast shows which days have enough history and which depend more heavily on weather, holidays, school calendars, pool schedules, or a manager’s adjustment. Missing data and unusual events remain visible, and a revised forecast never hides the assumptions that changed it.
