Depth of inventory

Depth of inventory is the quantity of products or services available for sale within a specific category or product line. It also refers to the variety of inventory based on different attributes, depending on the specific business or industry.

Having a deep inventory allows businesses to cater to diverse customer preferences, increase sales opportunities, and enhance customer satisfaction by offering choice, flexibility, and availability.

In the context of travel and hospitality, the depth of inventory pertains to the range of options available to consumers when booking flights, accommodations, car rentals, and other travel-related services and activities.

For example, an airline’s depth of inventory involves the range of flight options it offers passengers, including various routes, departure times, aircraft types, and fare classes. An all-inclusive resort with a deep inventory may feature a variety of room types, amenities, packages, and price points to cater to diverse guest preferences.
