Supply & Demand Reconciliation

Compare available seats against organization requests, generate seating options, and save planner scenarios.

Data readiness check

Review workbook issues before trusting scenario results. These checks look for location mismatches, duplicate seats, missing organizations, and invalid demand values.

Location hierarchy

The app now plans against Campus → Building → Floor, so overflow strategies distinguish exact floor, same-floor, same-building, same-campus, and systemwide moves.

Terminology guide

The app now uses demand-resolution terms separately from physical-seat terms so the planner can tell where demand was requested, where seats physically exist, and what still needs action.

Demand resolvedRequested seats that receive an assignment, either locally or elsewhere.
Resolved locallyDemand assigned to a physical seat at the same requested location.
Resolved elsewhereDemand assigned to a physical seat at a different location.
Unresolved demandRequested seats that still need planner action. Could be met by turning that number of seats into hoteling seats or letting workers telework.
Unused capacityPhysical seats left unused after the scenario is applied.
Move workAssignments that activate a vacant seat or give a seat a new organization.

Scenario comparison

Generate options to compare demand resolution, location fit, movement burden, and plain-language planning impacts.

The summary uses simple counts instead of color-coded bars: requested, resolved, unresolved, and unused physical capacity.

Recommended demand-resolution options

Location demand and physical capacity

Organization demand resolution

Organization placement quality

Check whether organizations are colocated or split across multiple locations, buildings, or campuses in the selected scenario.

Report visuals

Use these charts in a report to show the current state, the planned state, and the move story between them.

Current seating arrangement

As-is seats by location, split between occupied and vacant inventory.

Scenario physical seat usage

To-be physical seat usage by location, showing physical seats used, unresolved demand, and unused capacity.

Organizational fit by scenario

Compare how well each generated scenario keeps organizations together in one physical location.

Organization grouping in selected scenario

For each organization, green shows the largest colocated physical cluster, purple shows split seats outside that cluster, and yellow shows unresolved demand.

Move work between locations

A flow view of seats that go from vacant to occupied or receive a new organization assignment.

Move work cost & schedule

Based on seats that go from vacant to occupied or receive a new organization assignment.
