5/21/2015
Zentila, the breakthrough online strategic sourcing platform for meetings and conventions, today unveiled illuminate3P, the first meetings sourcing and management solution developed specifically for third-party and independent meeting planners.
The pioneering platform combines the most powerful elements of Zentila’s award-winning sourcing technology with a comprehensive set of business analytics and management tools. The result is a robust new solution to help third-party and independent planners increase efficiency and communicate easily and effectively with customers.
“illuminate3P completes the trilogy of Zentila’s sourcing products to meet the needs of every corner of the meetings industry: corporations and organizations, the occasional planner and now intermediaries,” says Mike Mason, founder and CEO, Zentila. “It brings a fresh, user- friendly approach to planning that simplifies the process – sourcing, tracking, reporting, forecasting and more – to help planners run their businesses much more efficiently.”
The strategic sourcing solution launches in mid-June. Planners who want to be among the first to try it can sign up by June 19 to receive more information and a complimentary three-month trial. There are no obligations. Please click here for details.
Illuminate3P is easy-to-use for both planners and hotels. It saves time and enhances customer service with this powerful set of features below.
Interactive Bid Summary – illuminate3P is the first meetings sourcing solution to bring complete transparency to the hotel bid process. The system’s revolutionary bid summary technology compiles all hotel bids quickly and automatically, eliminating hours of spreadsheet work. It is fully customizable with drag-and-drop functionality. Planners can create an accurate and complete bid summary to share with their customers in just one click and make updates in real time as planning progresses.
Customer Transparency – Innovative sharing technology enables planners to add their customer to the meeting RFP, providing a birds-eye view of the sourcing process, including all hotels sourced and bids returned. Planners earn customer confidence by keeping them in the loop on the full sourcing process.
Customized Sourcing Tools – The platform gets to the heart of successfully connecting planner and property to dramatically increase hotel response rates and deliver complete proposals in less than a day. Zentila’s RFP Genie walks planners through the process of building an eRFP in just a few steps. An ad-free search engine with planner-focused filters helps refine searches for hotels worldwide. If needed, the RFP service team is also available as personalized customer success gurus. With best practices like these built into the system, illuminate3P delivers full proposals with competitive bids that set planners up from the start for successful negotiations.
Easy Reporting by Customer – In another industry first, illuminate3P produces detailed savings and spend reports by customer or meeting. It captures and segments data by customer to provide a snapshot with customized data points showing meeting spend, negotiated savings, brand spend, spend by month and more. Planners can produce attractive, easy-to-read reports for each customer in just a few clicks.
Business Intelligence to Work Smarter – The platform’s full suite of business intelligence tools helps planners run their business better. They can easily track commissions, tailor commission agreements by customer, forecast future income, and reconcile past invoices, among other vital tasks.
Enhanced Team Capabilities – illuminate3P also provides visibility into team performance in real time. Managers can view all meetings currently active, booked or operated in a single click. Additionally, they can track and manage commissions with custom commission-split by customer and team member and report on key metrics for better team management.
