Cvent is teaming up with European specialist software provider MeetingPackage to allow its users to instantly book small meetings at hotels and other venues.
The partnership between the two technology companies will allow Cvent Supplier Network customers to book space at hotels and venues, which work with MeetingPackage, directly through the Cvent platform. The integration is expected to launch later this year.
Finland-based MeetingPackage’s software is already used by venues in more than 100 countries and the company also works with hotel chains such as Radisson Hotel Group, Nordic Choice Hotels, Clermont Hotel Group and Leonardo Hotels.
Properties can use the MeetingPackage technology to manage their meetings and event sales both online and offline, as well as handling direct and indirect bookings.
Joonas Ahola, CEO and founder of MeetingPackage, said: “The subject of process automation and digitisation has really come to the fore as venues realise that manual processes have become unsustainable.
“This integration facilitates greater automation for a more seamless venue sourcing process, ultimately helping both the hotelier and event planner increase group business revenue with minimal effort.”
Jim Abramson, Cvent’s vice president of product management, said the partnership would benefit both companies’ mutual customers around the world.
“We’re proud to partner with leading organisations like MeetingPackage to expand our platform and enable deeper collaboration between meeting planners and hotels and venues,” added Abramson.
