The Diverse World of Human Resources

There are not many departments that in one breath can be involved in developing strategies and in the next offering a cup of tea and a box of tissues to a distressed employee.  So what is Human Resources?  This is something I have been asked on many an occasion and still struggle to come up […]

Purchasing power by capturing and controlling volumes

This is the time of year when many Travel Managers and Indirect Sourcing professionals are busy negotiating hotel programs, car rental agreements and airline agreements.

What is a saving?

When demonstrating or showing off the Hotelzon booking tool, I’m often asked “does it show savings?” This is normally followed with the same response each time from me “what do you mean?"

After working for years in big global corporations with thousands of employees and clear processes, moving to a smaller, fast growing company, going back to basics was nothing but essential. Didn’t go far enough to ask myself “who am I” […]

What is a non-GDS hotel really?

I did a presentation of Hotelzon to a prospect the other day. One of the questions they had was: what is a non-GDS hotel actually? It is a good question especially since we talk about our non-GDS hotel content when we present Hotelzon. It is simply a hotel that you cannot book in the GDS […]
