Roomex Launches New 2016 Booking Engine at London Business Travel Show

Roomex, the online hotel booking platform for business travel, is launching a brand new hotel booking engine on Wednesday at the London Business Travel Show 2016. Roomex offers corporate rates at over 550,000 hotels worldwide and has saved its clients on average 21% against BAR in the last 12 months. The new booking platform will build on developments in 2015 and result in an even faster and easier booking process. There are 4 Key Pillars to the Roomex platform: Cost Savings Time Savings Live Reporting Policy and Control Roomex has enjoyed rapid growth throughout the UK and Ireland over the last 3 years and now boasts an incredible client list. The overriding principal behind the platform is to make the corporate hotel booking process easier for everyone in the business, from the booker to the traveller, to accounts, to the CFO, HR and Procurement. Roomex does this through an extremely straightforward booking flow and even the sign-up is simple – No Costs, No Contract, No Fees.

Roomex opens new locations throughout UK

Roomex now has offices and local staff throughout all of Ireland and The UK. Our two central offices are in Dublin and London, but we now also have Roomex staff on the ground locally.

Roomex Saves Over 1.7 million for Business Clients in 2015

One of the biggest benefits of using Roomex for Business is that we provide instant visibility on total hotel spend… and savings ! This allows senior management to analyse spend based on any cost centre they wish, typically by department or project. We access the best rates in corporate travel through our own direct contracting but also by incorporating the world’s biggest hotel systems into our company portals. We recognise that securing the best rate is a key reason for using Roomex and therefore have developed our own instant price-checking technology which compares the price of every reservation made through Roomex against the Best Available Rate at the hotel booked. This ensures that our clients are getting the best rates, that the savings data in our clients reports is accurate and it consistently emphasises the value of the Roomex service. 2015 has once again shown the incredible value that we bring to Roomex Clients – 1,766,630 worth of value on cost savings alone ! That is over 1.7m extra that our 400 business clients in Ireland and the UK would have spent on hotels had they not booked through Roomex. When added to the time savings, live reporting, booking control and Duty of Care, the true worth of the service becomes apparent. Throughout 2016 we will continue to add services which will improve the experience for our valued customers and keep pushing savings higher and higher.
