GeoSure’s Security Expertise Aligns with HRS’ 5S Framework
As managed travel returns from the depths of the pandemic, the vast majority of corporate hotel and meetings management programs have altered their priorities as they negotiate preferred supplier agreements. HRS, who works with 35 percent of the Fortune 500 on their lodging programs, has picked up on this trend and created its “5S Framework” based on these priorities:
As hotel negotiations for 2023 accelerate in the third quarter, it’s clear that companies are focused on these priorities, with each placing differing factors on these five areas. GeoSure’s expertise on security issues, supported by innovative data science and risk-modeling, ensures HRS clients have the most relevant, accurate intelligence at their fingertips as they support safe travel practices worldwide.
Hotel program leaders using HRS’ procurement technology can view multiple elements from an individual property in one line as they contrast hotel options in a given city. Data generated by GeoSure technology results in a “security score” that can be considered along with other key elements such as rate, satisfaction scores, and sustainability.
“We’re focused on empowering companies and employees to make smart, informed decisions that result in confident travelers, executing objectives and moving safely through every stop on their trip,” said Michael Becker, CEO of GeoSure. “HRS’ approach to harmoniously integrating technology – all in an “under-the-hood fashion” – dovetails with our goal to seamlessly deliver services that enhance safety while improving satisfaction. We look forward to collaborating for years to come.”
