What Is Facility Schedule Intelligence?

Schedule intelligence turns an external facility calendar into operational information for the academy using it.

Facility schedule intelligence is the process of monitoring a facility's published schedule, detecting changes and connecting those changes to the organization's own activities.

It is not the same as facility management

An academy can use a rink, court, field, pool or gym without operating that facility. The facility remains responsible for its master schedule; the academy needs to understand how that external schedule affects its own bookings.

The operational workflow

  1. Capture the supported published facility schedule
  2. Refresh it on a defined cadence
  3. Compare the new version with prior schedule information
  4. Identify additions, removals or time changes
  5. Compare those changes with academy lessons or events
  6. Surface affected activity for authorized users

HQPodium currently supports published schedule intelligence for supported DaySmart Recreation and Bond Sports rink sources, with facility schedule refreshes every 30 minutes.
