FAQs

What industries can benefit from Overbooking Optimization?
The benefits of Overbooking Optimization extend to any industry with fixed capacity and fluctuating demand. If you have perishable inventory—meaning an unsold unit represents lost revenue that can’t be recovered—Overbooking Optimization can make a significant impact. Key industries include: Transportation & Logistics, Hospitality, and Car Rentals.
Overbooking Optimization is a data-driven solution that helps businesses safely sell more inventory than they physically have available. It’s not about gambling with capacity; it’s about using historical data to predict exactly how many customers won’t show up. By accurately forecasting these “no-shows,” you can fill seats, reservations, or cargo space that would otherwise remain empty. The result? You maximize revenue and ensure your assets aren’t underutilized.
The system thrives on historical booking data. This includes information on bookings, cancellations, no-shows, and final load factors. The more data the system has, the smarter it gets at predicting future behaviors. However, you don’t need perfect data to start seeing results. PROS works with you to integrate your existing data streams and begins generating actionable insights that improve as the system learns your specific market dynamics.
