Most companies still rely on outdated, manual processes for verifying hotel rates. These methods not only fail to catch all errors but also waste valuable time.
1: Delayed Rate Verification
Manual audits typically happen after a booking is made—meaning the company has already overpaid before the issue is even detected.
➡ The Fix: ReadyBid’s automated pre-booking rate audits catch discrepancies before they impact your budget.
2: Limited GDS Coverage
Many teams only check one GDS system, assuming rates are consistent across platforms. In reality, hotels often load different rates across Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo, and Worldspan.
➡ The Fix: ReadyBid scans rates across all major GDS platforms, ensuring full visibility.
3: Human Error & Inconsistent Tracking
Manually tracking rate compliance in spreadsheets or disconnected tools leads to missed errors and incomplete reporting.
➡ The Fix: ReadyBid automates rate comparison reports, ensuring 100% accuracy with zero manual effort.
4: No Automatic Dispute Process
Even when an overcharge is found, getting hotels to correct errors is a struggle—often requiring lengthy email exchanges.
➡ The Fix: ReadyBid automatically alerts hotels of rate discrepancies and requests corrections in real-time.
5: Wasted Time & Resources
Corporate travel teams spend hours auditing rates manually, taking focus away from strategic initiatives that drive savings.
➡ The Fix: ReadyBid reduces manual audit time by 80%, freeing teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
