Compare current-stock and planned-stock outcomes using actual bookings after the window closes. Results assume the transfers happened; they are estimates until execution and costs are reconciled.
Columns: id, pickup_branch, return_branch, pickup_at, return_at, class, status. Use ISO dates and confirmed, completed or cancelled status.
Windows replayed
| No closed windows compared yet. Upload actual bookings, select a saved window and run the comparison. |
Planning assumptions
Check these inputs before dispatching vehicles.

|---|---|---|
| Event dates | Supplied calendar | Confirm with the organiser before setting arrival dates. |
| Expected pickups | Event attendance, rental share and seasonal estimates | Compare with confirmed bookings and previous events. |
| Opening stock | Expected pickups, returns and safety stock | Confirm which vehicles are available, on rent or in preparation. |
| Transfers | Stock shortages and estimated driver/carrier costs | Confirm routes, quotes and driver or carrier availability. |
| Buffer branches | Branch locations and stock needs | Check whether these branches can hold the vehicles. |
| Demand scenarios | Different timing and branch allocations with fixed totals | Coverage is a sensitivity estimate, not a guarantee. |
| Closed-window comparison | Actual bookings; assumes planned transfers were completed | Reconcile executed transfers and costs before accepting savings. |
