Opportunity index

The revenue opportunity is used to classify which dates have the highest opportunity. Typically, the more rooms remaining for sale, the higher the opportunity. The days with a high number of inventory available for sale are typically further out in the future and generally outside of the usual booking window.

The opportunity index is a figure between 0 and 100 which assists in classifying dates for revenue managers where their review is required. It accounts not only for the revenue opportunity, but also the lead time, booking window, and so on.

The opportunity index figure is a three quarter donut that represent 0 to 100 to indicated the index for each day. They are colored depending on the index value. These are the meanings of the colors:

  • Green: If the index value is ≤ 50
  • Yellow: If the index value is ˃ 50, but ≤ 75
  • Red: If the index value is greater than ˃ 75
  • Gray: The remaining part between the index and 100
    Note: If the Opportunity Index is not available for a date, the donut is grayed out.
