FAQ

What makes Lodging Logistics different from our competitors?

The most important distinction between our competitors and us is our focus. Lodging Logistics recognizes that the RFP process is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to achieving results from your hotel program. The biggest opportunity lies in the ability to manage your hotel program throughout the year and work collaboratively with all of your stakeholders in order to maximize your return on investment. Travel Managers told us that although it was helpful to streamline and automate the RFP process, the high cost of these outsourced solutions just didn't deliver the return on investment their company demanded. Lodging Logistics listened and created ProLodgic, the ONLY solution that allows a company to measure the return on investment by providing the tools to manage, implement and measure the entire hotel program.

What about hotels that do not have Internet access?

Within the last couple of years, most hotels have caught up with the rest of the world and now have Internet access. However, there are still hotels out there that do not have the capability to respond to RFPs via the Internet. These hotels can request manual forms to be faxed through our automated fax back system. The Lodging Logistics team ensures that this data is accurately entered into the ProLodgic database so that all of your data is in one central location.

What about a hotel directory? We have developed our own intranet directory. Can ProLodgic provide the data for us?

Yes. Your data can easily be generated into an electronic file feed compatible with the current GBTA format.

What do you mean by "collaboration"?

Increase the return on investment by working directly with all of your hotel program stakeholders-travel arrangers, hotels, hotel chain account managers, your travel management company and, most importantly, your travelers.

• With Travel Managers and Arrangers within your company

ProLodgic lets you work collaboratively within your company and across your subsidiaries to develop a hotel program that addresses everyone's needs while adhering to the goals and objectives of your hotel program. All participating Travel Managers within your company can access the same data and work collaboratively in the decision making process.

• With Hotels

The key to an effective hotel program is to work collaboratively with the hotels in your program to achieve your common objectives. ProLodgic connects you with the hotels in your program during the Bid Process and throughout the year to maximize your results. Check out Hotel to learn more.

• With Hotel Chain National Sales Offices

National Account Managers play an important role in your hotel program. As a liaison between you and their hotels, your account manager can be very influential in the success of your hotel program. ProLodgic connects you directly with your account managers and allows them to better understand your needs and help you maximize the results of your program. Check out Hotel Chain to learn more.

• With your Travel Management Company

Your travel management company plays an integral role in the success of your hotel program. ProLodgic integrates your account manager and agents with your hotel program. Agents will be able to have live access to your hotel program, report rate-loading problems and make suggestions based on traveler feedback. Check out Travel Management Company to learn more.

• With Your Business Travelers

Without the input of your travelers who are supposed to use the hotel program on a daily basis, your hotel program is sure to fall far short of your goals. Your travelers have live access to your preferred hotel directory. Travelers can also provide feedback regarding hotel experiences and suggest new hotels. You can also create easy online surveys to get input about your hotel program.
