About Seatoir
Seatoir is a seat optimization platform for higher education. It helps registrar and academic operations teams analyze section-level enrollment data to find wasted seats, reduce artificial waitlists, and quantify recoverable capacity across their institution.
The problem
Every term, registrar teams spend days manually combing through enrollment spreadsheets to identify underfilled sections, waitlist bottlenecks, and section imbalance. This analysis is time-consuming, error-prone, and often happens too late to make meaningful adjustments. The result is thousands of seats that go unfilled while students sit on waitlists for the same courses.
At a mid-size institution with 10,000 seats per term, average seat utilization of 65% means 3,500 seats go empty. Even modest improvements of 5-10 percentage points translate to hundreds of additional students served without adding sections, instructors, or rooms.
How Seatoir works
Seatoir replaces manual spreadsheet analysis with an automated enrollment analysis engine. The workflow is straightforward:
- 1Upload enrollment exports. Drop in CSV files from your SIS or reporting system. Seatoir auto-maps columns and remembers your format for future uploads.
- 2Get analysis and recommendations. The rules engine identifies underfilled sections, overfilled sections, section imbalance, merge candidates, waitlist pressure, and room mismatches automatically.
- 3Review dashboards and exports. See seat utilization across departments, drill into specific courses, compare terms, and export recommendations for your team.
What Seatoir is not
Seatoir is not a scheduling platform. It does not construct timetables, assign rooms, manage instructor preferences, or execute operational scheduling workflows. There are existing tools for those problems.
Seatoir is analysis-first. It ingests enrollment data, detects inefficiencies, generates recommendations, and quantifies impact. Registrar and academic operations teams use those insights to make better decisions in their existing scheduling and registration systems.
