Before the season gets busy, Operations turns confirmed CIS passenger needs into an equipment plan and sees shortages early enough to act.

Full-season demand planning
Starts with
Confirmed CIS passenger needs
Ends with
Shortages and unmapped needs visible
Guests have submitted their equipment needs through the guest form, and those requirements are stored per passenger in the CIS. Operations needs one full-season view that counts overlapping confirmed trips, compares peak demand with the company's shared usable inventory, preserves safety stock, and identifies requirements that still need an inventory match.
Operations reviews equipment readiness for the selected season or a confirmed CIS or inventory balance changes.
The planning horizon is the complete operating season, not only the next trip or lodge location.
Prospects, holds, cancelled trips, and unconfirmed sales do not consume projected stock.
Requirements that cannot be matched remain visible with their CIS, passenger, dates, and requested equipment.
Non-overlapping groups can reuse the same gear; overlapping groups contribute to concurrent demand on the same dates.
This is the key moment: the plan uses one company-wide inventory across all lodge locations and excludes assigned, checked-out, repair, missing, lost, and unusable gear.
Each row shows usable quantity, peak confirmed demand, safety stock, surplus or shortage, contributing CIS passengers, and calculation timestamps.
Reviews full-season demand, investigates shortages and unmapped needs, and decides what operational follow-up is required.
Keeps products, sizes, usable availability, and safety stock accurate for the company-wide inventory.
Uses only confirmed CIS requirements, calculates peak concurrent demand, and preserves each CIS and passenger as a source.
Full-season product demand, shortages, source passengers, unmapped needs, and freshness.
Why: Act before confirmed guest needs become last-minute field requests.
How usable shared inventory and safety stock compare with peak confirmed demand.
Why: Correct stock or product configuration and prepare procurement or transfers when needed.
Confirmed requirement provenance and the canonical shared-availability calculation.
Why: Keep the projection traceable and prevent speculative demand from consuming the plan.
Season planning uses confirmed CIS passenger needs, peak overlapping demand, company-wide usable inventory, and configured safety stock.
