Roomex is a corporate hotel booking platform with over 650,000 hotels worldwide. With offices in Dublin and London, our focus is on global corporate hotel bookings through our online platform.Roomex has over 400 clients across Europe, including David Lloyd Leisure, TGI Friday's, Muller, Musgrave Group, Mercury Engineering, Mitsubishi, KN Networks, Actavo and Turtle Bay Restaurants.Our clients book all of their hotels worldwide through the Roomex platform because of our 4 key pillars of business travel:Cost Savings – each booking made through Roomex is price-checked and the savings measured. Our corporate clients saved on average 21% on hotel spend in the last 12 months.Time Savings – We save time across the business, for the bookers, the travellers, procurement and finance teams. Bookers are not wasting time searching multiple sites and booking and paying in different ways. No time is spent negotiating different rates with lots of different hotels, we look after all that. Payments don’t have to be reconciled from company credit cards / expenses / hotel invoices – you only ever have one Roomex bill, already broken down by cost code!Live Reporting – We know that Senior Management need to have full visibility and control over spend. We love data and we bring it right to the surface for you, in easy to consume dashboard reports. All information, including spend, savings and performance against negotiated rates, is stored under our live reports which can also be broken down by hotel, division, cost centre, etc.Policy & Control – With Roomex, we give you the option to implement travel policy and spending limits. We also give you the ability, in case of emergency, to know where your staff are. Through our really easy to use Duty of Care interactive map, you can pinpoint all staff, at any location in the world, in seconds.
