The Profile

High-Volume eRFP Sourcing

One of our customers was faced with processing thousands of eRFPs per year with short lead times requiring a comprehensive solution covering the full life cycle of an eRFP-from creation through selection, contracting, post-event, invoicing, and collections.

  • Selected ME SOURCING as the primary sourcing solution.
  • Requires seamless tracking from initial venue selection through to final revenue collection.
The Challenge

Disjointed Systems & Delayed Payments

Relying on multiple systems created major bottlenecks, manual data entry errors, and extended delays in receiving venue commission payments.

  • Transposing data across spreadsheets, emails, and accounting tools caused errors and missed invoices.
  • Chasing down actual post-event room night usage from hotels was time-consuming.
  • Invoices lacked compatibility with hotel accounting systems, requiring constant manual follow-up.
