A New Era in Hotel Procurement

The world of corporate travel is evolving rapidly. In 2025, organizations expect more from their travel programs - not just compliance, but also measurable cost savings, better supplier relationships, and improved traveler satisfaction.

At the center of these expectations lies hotel sourcing. Traditionally managed through manual spreadsheets and email threads, the hotel RFP process has long been a source of inefficiency and frustration for travel managers. But today, new technologies are reshaping procurement, and ReadyBid is at the forefront of this transformation.

By combining automation, verified hotel contacts, real - time analytics, and built - in compliance, ReadyBid’s hotel RFP tool represents the future of hotel sourcing.

Why Traditional Hotel Sourcing Falls Short1. Inefficiency

Manual RFP processes take months to complete, slowing down contract negotiations and leaving money on the table.

2. Limited Transparency

Spreadsheets make it difficult to compare hotel bids fairly, hiding true costs behind rows of data.

3. Weak Negotiation Leverage

Without verified contacts and data, travel managers struggle to negotiate from a position of strength.

4. Compliance Risks

Whether with corporate policy or GSA per diem standards, manual compliance checks are prone to error.

5. Stressful Workflows

Procurement teams spend more time managing spreadsheets than focusing on strategic travel management.

The old way of sourcing is simply not built for the demands of modern business travel management.
