Events agency Agiito has announced it will pilot its live availability solution, Meetingspro, with Royal Mail Group.
The live availability function will enable bookers to log on to the agency’s technology platform, Meetingspro, to view rates and venue availability in real-time and submit their enquiry.
Eloise Ferrara-Neched, procurement manager, Royal Mail Group, said: “I’m delighted to be part of this technology pilot and what it means for our bookers. I’ve been working closely with the Agiito team and regularly offer my feedback as they adapt their technology.
“Feedback from EAs so far is that they are excited to use this, as it will enable them to make short lead bookings quicker.”
Caroline Medcalf, director of venue find and events, Agiito, added: “Our customers are already seeing the benefits of the online tool, with 19,000 online bookings made so far this year and 50% of October’s enquiries submitted online – demonstrating that Meetingspro is becoming more popular for small meetings.
“The benefits extend further to the wider industry, as this is market leading technology. We have much more in the pipeline to release over the coming months, and we are working with suppliers and industry bodies to align the process as we move into this new era of venue find booking.”
The live availability pilot with Royal Mail Group begins in November, with other customers set to also pilot this technology.
