A centralized system accurately forecasts the number of rooms required at a given hotel for airline crew members for a given day, makes reservations, updates the hotels on necessary changes only, and publishes accurate billing statements for rooms used. The system operates internally on a room inventory model which provides both accurate changes on a continuing basis and a buffer to reduce the number of reservation changes requested of the hotel. The process utilizes two main subsystems. The first subsystem is responsible for replication and storage of each airline's flight schedule data and also for applying a basic set of established airline business rules to determine general layover requirements. The second subsystem receives these layover requirement requests, applies additional airline and hotel business rules to determine a more detailed set of layover requirements, manages the hotel room procurement, addresses real-time flight changes as they affect hotel room usage, and finally produces period-end reporting.
