How to book hotel rooms during a crisis
We're here to help you source venues for front-line workers during the COVID-19 crisis.
I love how I can quickly assemble information on different properties from different cities, and hotels respond to our RFPs with all the information we need. We saved $66 dollars per hotel room.

Work smarter by leveraging hotel contacts
Save time on manual processes and strengthen your supplier relationships within your venue sourcing platform.
- Upload industry contacts into your account for easy access.
- Send RFPs directly to contacts or copy them on leads sent to their associated properties.
- Allow hotel contacts to distribute RFPs on your behalf and track responses.
- Get faster responses and receive the most negotiated rates.
NSO's love it when you include them! It's a great way to strengthen relationships too. Win! Win!
