Overview

The Transport Price Control screen is a reporting and monitoring tool that provides detailed statistics about transport bookings, occupancy, load factors, and profitability. It helps users analyze transport performance over time and supports decision-making on pricing, capacity, and route adjustments.

Purpose

The purpose of this screen is to:

• Track booking activity within a defined period.

• Monitor demand, occupancy, and load factor across different transports and hotels.

• Identify variations in performance (e.g., load factor changes, web clicks/views, profitability).

• Support pricing decisions by comparing booking trends, views/clicks, and revenue contribution.

Preconditions

Before using the Transport Price Control tool:

1. Ensure that bookings and departures exist within the selected timeframe.

2. Departure statistics must be available from the relevant agency or department.

3. Searches should cover valid transport periods (not older than 12 months).

4. User permissions must allow access to reporting and statistical data.

Step 3: Review Results

The report displays data in multiple tabs, including:

Step 4: Interpret Results

If no results are shown, the system provides a message indicating possible reasons:

• Missing departure statistics for the chosen period or agency.

• Selected departures exceed the 12-month range.

• No results match the applied filters.

Result

Once filters are applied correctly, the system generates transport-related performance statistics that can be used for pricing optimization, performance analysis, and profitability assessment.
