ReadyBid's Next-Generation Hotel RFP Tool

In a significant move for corporate travel management, ReadyBid has revealed major upgrades to its Hotel Request for Proposal (RFP) tool, aimed at revolutionizing the sourcing process for hotels. This new solution targets corporations and travel management companies (TMCs) who are increasingly looking to optimize hotel procurement amid a rapidly changing travel landscape.

Traditionally, hotel sourcing has been plagued by inefficiencies, making it a daunting and expensive chore for travel managers. Recognizing this need for improvement, ReadyBid developed a platform that unites power, simplicity, and scalability into one tool. With years of industry expertise and cutting-edge automation, the ReadyBid platform facilitates the entire RFP lifecycle—from creating bids to auditing rates—all within a single interface.

As Joseph Friedmann, President and Founder of ReadyBid, noted, “We created ReadyBid because corporate travel deserves better technology. Previous hotel RFP tools were outdated, overly expensive, and complicated. Our goal is to make hotel sourcing quicker, smarter, and significantly more affordable for all businesses.”

Enhancements and Features of the New Tool

ReadyBid’s innovative platform includes access to over 230,000 hotels worldwide, covering both Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and non-GDS properties. The features include:

• - One-Click Bid Distribution: Simplifying the outreach process for hotels.
• - Dynamic Benchmarking: Allowing companies to see how their proposals compare in real-time.
• - Unlimited Negotiation Rounds: Giving clients the flexibility to negotiate until satisfied.
• - Intuitive RFP Templates: Offering GBTA-compliant formats with options for personalized cover letters to meet diverse sourcing strategies.
• - Real-Time Dashboards: Delivering valuable insights into hotel sourcing efforts, making adjustments easier.
• - Integration Capabilities: Easily linking with existing systems for a seamless user experience.

Moreover, the tool’s flat-rate pricing allows unlimited users and RFP submissions, eliminating unexpected costs. Users benefit from real-time bid tracking and tools to facilitate communication with hotel contacts, along with automated follow-ups to enhance responsiveness. Built-in rate audits across major GDS platforms like Sabre, Apollo, Worldspan, and Amadeus ensure clients are always getting competitive rates.
