Include confirmed availibility blocks in Mews BI Pro occupancy metrics by business segment
Currently, occupancy metrics in Mews BI Pro do not appear to include confirmed availability blocks that have not yet been picked up as individual reservations.
However, these blocks often represent accommodation already contractually committed to corporate clients, groups or other organizations, sometimes for extended periods.
As a result, occupancy figures in BI Pro can differ significantly from those in the Availability & Occupancy report, which includes confirmed availability blocks. This can lead to an incomplete picture of actual committed occupancy, particularly when analyzing performance by business segment.
Suggested improvement:
We would like Mews BI Pro to offer an additional occupancy metric that:
• Includes confirmed availability blocks that have not yet been picked up as reservations.
• Uses the business segment already assigned to each availability block to allocate the corresponding room nights.
• Avoids double-counting reservations already picked up from these blocks.
• Takes into account released room nights.
• Works with existing date filters, dashboards and year-over-year comparisons.
Ideally, users should be able to choose between the current occupancy calculation and this new calculation.
The objective is to obtain occupancy figures that more closely reflect actual committed inventory and are more consistent with the Availability & Occupancy report, while maintaining accurate occupancy analysis by business segment.
This would be particularly valuable for properties managing long-term group or corporate allotments, where a significant proportion of the inventory may be committed before individual reservations are created.
