How much have we spent on hotels this year? That was the seemingly simple question Luke Williamson, Procurement Manager at Vital HR, wanted the answer to. To get it, he’d have to contact everyone in the business who had taken a trip, collate countless email confirmations and receipts, and manually check them all to calculate the cost – and that was just the start.
In their own words, “having had a significant amount of accommodation requirements on an increasing level over the last couple of years, it became untenable to keep booking via the normal channels.†Vital HR needed a tool that consolidated their accommodation booking and provided all staff with a simple means to find the right hotel, with the right amenities, at a price that complied with their travel policy.
That’s where Roomex came in.
