Groupize today unveiled the Groupize PRM (Planner Relationship   Manager), a cloud based Sales and Catering System for hotels to efficiently manage their online and   offline demand for Groups and Meetings. 

The Groupize PRM empowers Hotel Chains and Hotel Sales Teams to efficiently manage their group   sales process from end to end by centralizing all leads and all groups in a single dashboard. The cloud   based PRM includes an intuitive user friendly graphical interface, the ability to manage automated   group bookings and RFPs from multiple channels, end to end groups’ business intelligence and sales   automation designed to save hours of time and effort for hotel sales staff while increasing conversions   and revenue.

“Speed wins Groups” says Groupize CEO, Charles de Gaspe Beaubien. “Hotels that answer group   requests within 5 minutes convert 22 times more than those that answer after 24 hours. The Groupize   PRM was designed to allow hotels to respond to significantly more qualified inquiries via their computer   or Ipad in seconds vs. days. We continue our efforts to make hotels more efficient at converting online   Group business and we are honored to be recognized as one of the most innovative travel companies of   the year at the 2013 PhoCusWright Innovation Summit,” continued de Gaspe Beaubien.  The Groupize PRM is the latest solution in the Groupize Platform and is fully integrated with Groupize   Live, the companies white label application that powers group bookings on hotel and travel websites.
