What It Does
When activated, Permit Forecasting lets you:
Assign trips to specific river sections under your permit allocation.
Track usage across each section for the season or year.
See allocation forecasts directly in your Brindlechute calendar, booking details, and compliance reports.
Protect your top clients or key guides by reserving use for high-priority trips.
Avoid overuse by ensuring all trips fit within your permitted limits as the year is planned — not after it’s too late.
How It Works
Once Permit Forecasting is turned on for your account:
Each experience or trip can be tied to a specific river section within your permit.
Brindlechute calculates forecasted use based on scheduled trips and compares it to your total capacity.
Your calendar will visually show how much of each section’s capacity is allocated.
Compliance reports automatically reflect section-based usage, with breakdowns per client, guide, or date range.
