🚀 The Corporate Travel Manager’s RFP Challenge

For years, corporate travel managers have struggled with outdated, manual RFP processes that create frustration, inefficiencies, and unnecessary costs.

Common Challenges of Traditional Hotel RFPs:

🔹 Manually sending RFPs one hotel at a time.

🔹 Tracking responses in spreadsheets, leading to errors and lost bids.

🔹 Endless follow-ups just to get hotels to respond.

🔹 One-by-one negotiations, slowing down the process.

🔹 Rate compliance issues, as hotels fail to load the correct rates into GDS.

💡 The result? Corporate travel managers spend weeks on RFPs when they could be optimizing their travel programs and reducing costs.

✅ The ReadyBid Solution: Full Automation from RFP to Rate Auditing

ReadyBid eliminates these challenges by automating every step of the hotel RFP process, from creating bids to finalizing contracts and ensuring rate compliance.

Here’s how corporate travel managers are using ReadyBid to simplify hotel sourcing and save time and money.

Step 1: Instant RFP Creation & Bulk Sending

Instead of building hotel RFPs from scratch, ReadyBid lets corporate travel managers create and send RFPs in minutes.

✔ Pre-Built GBTA-Compliant RFP Templates – Choose from full, short, or custom formats.

✔ One-Click Bulk RFP Distribution – Send bid requests to hundreds of hotels instantly.

✔ Auto-Populated Travel Data – ReadyBid maps hotels to your corporate travel destinations automatically.

✔ Customizable Bid Requests – Define rate caps, amenities, commissions, and contract terms upfront.

💡 The result? RFPs are created and sent 10x faster than traditional methods.

Step 2: Automated Bid Tracking & Follow-Ups

No more chasing hotels for responses. ReadyBid tracks every bid in real-time and follows up automatically.

✔ Live Bid Tracking – See when hotels view, respond, or counter your RFP.

✔ Automated Follow-Ups – Hotels that don’t respond receive automatic reminders.

✔ Failed Email Detection – If an RFP email bounces, ReadyBid resends it automatically.

✔ Instant Notifications – Get alerts when bids require action, so you never miss a response.

💡 The result? Corporate travel managers spend 80% less time tracking hotel bids.

Step 3: Bulk Negotiations & Rate Benchmarking

Negotiating with hotels one at a time is inefficient. ReadyBid allows corporate travel managers to negotiate multiple bids at once, securing the best rates in record time.

✔ Bulk Counteroffers – Adjust pricing and amenities across multiple hotels simultaneously.

✔ Live Rate Comparisons – Benchmark negotiated rates against market trends.

✔ Rate Scoring & Ranking – Automatically rank the best hotel offers based on value.

✔ Unlimited Negotiation Rounds – Keep refining bids until you get the best possible deal.

💡 The result? Corporate travel managers secure lower rates faster and improve savings.

Step 4: Final Contract Execution & Hotel Directory Management

Once the best rates are locked in, ReadyBid ensures a seamless transition from negotiation to contract execution.

✔ One-Click Contract Finalization – Convert accepted bids into signed agreements instantly.

✔ Rate & Amenity Confirmation – Ensure all negotiated benefits are properly recorded.

✔ Automated Hotel Directory Updates – Newly contracted hotels are instantly added to your corporate directory.

✔ Shareable Hotel Listings – Provide employees with easy access to preferred hotels via a simple link.

💡 The result? Corporate travel managers eliminate contract errors and improve hotel program efficiency.

Step 5: Automated Rate Auditing & Compliance Tracking

Even after securing the best deals, rate compliance remains a major challenge. Hotels often fail to load the correct negotiated rates into GDS—leading to unexpected overcharges.

✔ Multi-GDS Rate Audits – Verify that rates are properly loaded into Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo, and Worldspan.

✔ Automated Compliance Alerts – Get notified if a hotel loads incorrect rates.

✔ Rate Comparison Reporting – Track negotiated vs. actual loaded rates to prevent billing discrepancies.

✔ Auto-Correction Requests – Notify hotels to fix incorrect rates before bookings occur.

💡 The result? Corporate travel managers eliminate rate errors and prevent unnecessary overspending.
