Our Journey
The ReadyBid story began with one question: Why should hotel RFPs be so complicated? For years, procurement teams struggled with legacy platforms that were expensive, slow, and difficult to use. Travel managers were left juggling spreadsheets, endless emails, and unclear negotiations.
We knew there had to be a better way. From day one, ReadyBid has been focused on removing friction from the sourcing process - giving clients unlimited RFPs, built-in negotiations, verified hotel contacts, and government-ready templates.
What started as an idea to simplify hotel RFPs has grown into a leading hotel sourcing platform trusted worldwide. Our journey continues, fueled by constant innovation and customer feedback, as we shape the future of corporate lodging procurement.
