Pitch

Led by Bruce Yoxsimer and Dan Whaley, who pioneered online travel bookings in the 90s and are credited with creating the first-ever travel booking on the web. Sweet!

The BTP Leadership team has been there and done that, with deep domain knowledge, a combined experience of over 130 years in Business Travel, and a track record of building successful companies.

Corporate hotel sourcing is STILL being done using spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls. Wait, what?!

These dated processes cost millions - and you canā€™t fix what you canā€™t see!

Introducing the BTP Index by BTP Automation. A first-of-its-kind fully-automated hotel sourcing system. The index automatically renegotiates program terms and conditions throughout the hotel program life cycle.

Reduces sourcing time from months to weeks with data-driven refinements and predictive analytics.

The BTP Index uses proprietary technology that monitors travel patterns and changing market conditions.

We aggregate and automate ALL data sources, expenses, GDS, and third-party pre-trip data, delivering the ultimate visibility for customers.

As a result, customers receive proactive, corrective actions that save money before travel occurs.

Travelers are more likely to stay at your corporate hotel if it has been sourced at a competitive rate and is popular with your travelers.

Hotels are happy, they get the business they expected due to a more intuitive and streamlined sourcing process.

Simple yet powerful ROI.
