Leading International Corporate Housing Provider Joins Lanyon Engagement & Project Sourcing™ Marketplace
Innovative marketplace creates sourcing efficiencies for corporate travel buyers, and increased visibility and streamlined process for extended stay providers
Lanyon, Inc (www.lanyon.com) today announced BridgeStreet Worldwide as the first corporate housing provider to join the Lanyon Engagement and Project Sourcing™ marketplace for corporate extended stay sourcing and procurement.
Introduced earlier this year, Lanyon Engagement and Project Sourcing is the first corporate sourcing solution to address the $50 billion global market for extended stays. A long time leader in the provision of rate sourcing for transient hotel bookings, Lanyon has identified a significant opportunity to increase automation in what has historically been a largely manual sourcing process for travel buyers.
“We are delighted to announce BridgeStreet Worldwide as our first corporate housing partner” said Todd Tyler, President & Chief Executive Officer for Lanyon. “We have worked closely with our corporate clients to develop Lanyon Engagement & Project Sourcing as a solution for extended stay projects that was previously unable to be satisfied with the existing transient RFP process. The addition of BridgeStreet Worldwide to our property portfolio reinforces our goal to bring efficient sourcing solutions to the extended stay accommodation market,” added Tyler.
Lanyon Engagement & Project Sourcing saves travel buyers significant time in sourcing individual properties, and delivers opportunities for hotels and corporate housing providers to capture new business through a structured competitive bidding and negotiation process. Notable features for accommodation providers include access to an industry-leading portfolio of corporate buyers across multiple industries, an intuitive lead management dashboard to streamline content and RFP management, a marketing platform to communicate unique property attributes and special offers, and comprehensive performance reporting.
“We are excited to partner with Lanyon in their innovative Engagement & Project Sourcing solution”, said Jon Wohlfert, Chief Marketing and Technology Officer for BridgeStreet Worldwide. “Lanyon’s solution provides BridgeStreet premium shelf space within the extended stay marketplace and we expect it to become the industry standard for corporate sourcing and procurement for extend stay needs,” added Wohlfert.
