Sabre RFP helps hotels like Millennium bring in more business travelers by quickly and easily allowing their staff to view and respond to all hotel room bids in their qualified group, saves them time and resources in managing the process and increases revenues because they have a complete view into all bids, resulting in winning more business. "Millennium Hotels is just one great success story for Sabre Hotel RFP," said Cassandra Rollins, general manager of Sabre Hotel RFP for Sabre Hospitality Solutions. "The return on investment is quite good since it complements the lead services hotels and property management companies use for their operations." The combination of Sabre Hotel RFP Chain Portal and Competitive Bids products provide central management of business transient RFPs and is ideal for chains and property management companies with 10 or more properties. Sabre can host hotels from multiple chain codes seamlessly – even properties not currently contracted with Sabre Hospitality. Competitive Bids is the only solution that allows hotels to review the RFP before making a purchase decision and the intuitive interface quickly guides management to direct invitations to bid at no cost versus pre-qualified leads that require a subscription to respond.
