Bookers often spend hours finding the right venue, while venues waste valuable time creating quotes with a low conversion rate. This challenge inspired us to create MeetingPackage, with the mission to help hoteliers sell their meeting rooms as easily as they sell bedrooms. We developed the world’s first Central Reservation System (CRS) for Meetings & Events (M&E) and group bookings. Our platform helps venues increase revenue, streamline operations, and improve the booking experience through automation. MeetingPackage helps in possible sales channels, offline or online, with seamless integration to backend systems and distribution channels.
