Capacity Manager is a web based analytics suite for resource management providing users extensive insight to understanding variable demand patterns and capacity fluctuations by enabling and enhancing communication.

For long term planning, Capacity Manager combines advance capacity planning, what-if analysis capabilities and forecasting of demand patterns.

For operational planning, Capacity Manager gives the people who control demand advance knowledge of forecasted demand for any
given half-hour on any given day.

Application Example

Problem: Parking capacity
Commonly used resource: Parking lots
Baseline demand: Natural arrivals, uncontrolled attendance, class schedules
Variable demand: Events, exhibitions, concerts, meetings

Results:
1. Visibility of parking capacity vs. demand on half hourly level, for 365 days. Deploy the accurate operational plan.
2. Scheduling of variable demand is now an educated decision, shift load from peak to slow periods,distributing the overall load. 		  
3. Publicly available information impacts baseline demand to shift from peak to slow periods,again distributing the overall load.
4. Less time to find parking, better visitor experience, less pollution.

Conclusion:
At 5000 parking capacity, $10,000-$30,000 building cost per space, plus $1,200-$3,000 annual maintenance cost per space*, 5% improvement in parking utilizations translates into savings of $2,500,000-$7,500,000 building and $300,000-$750,000 annual maintenance costs.
