Comparative Booking Pace Report

Use the Comparative Booking Pace Report to compare side by side how occupancy on books, forecast, and Last Room Value (LRV) for multiple occupancy days have changed over time.

For example, you are concerned that the booking pace of the upcoming Saturday is too slow. You want to view that day’s booking pace next to that of comparable days, like the three previous Saturdays, the Saturday after it, and the Friday before it. Use this report analyze each day’s Occupancy On Books and Occupancy Forecast. First check at the property and Group and Transient level, then drill down to the Forecast Group or Room Class level.

Scenarios for Data Discrepancies

If you have questions about differences in the data between G3 RMS and other systems, review one of the following topics:

Last Year's Booking Pace is Missing

This scenario applies if you're in your first year of system implementation, and your reservation system provides incomplete historical data. When that occurs, last year's pace looks like a blue triangle with a straight line from zero days to arrival to the final occupancy for the monitored period. For more information, review Pace Data Missing for Last Year.

Data Differences between Reporting Levels

If you have questions about variations in data between different levels, for example, between the property and Forecast Group levels or pickup between rate code market segment level, see Data Level Differences.

Pace Data Differs between G3 RMS and Daily Extracts

If you find data variations between same time last year (STLY) in G3 RMS and other systems, see Pace Differences.
