Groups360

Groups360 develops GroupSync, a hotel sourcing and booking platform for group travel, meetings, events, weddings, and sports teams. Its marketplace supports hotel comparison, live group rates and availability, online booking, RFP sourcing, and related room-block workflows.

1. Hotel sourcing: organizers can search properties by destination, compare hotel features, location, rates, and availability, and manage current and past bookings from the same marketplace. GroupSync currently states that more than 200,000 properties are connected for RFPs, with around 25,000 offering Instant Booking for guestrooms, meeting space, or both.
2. Instant Booking and RFPs: participating hotels can expose live rates and inventory so smaller or less complex groups can book guestrooms and meeting space directly online. Larger or more customized programs can instead use GroupSync’s RFP workflow to request and compare hotel proposals.
3. Hotel-side products: hotels control which rooms or meeting spaces they sell, the applicable dates, room types, availability, and rates. GroupSync Commerce can place this group-booking capability on a hotel’s own website, while GroupSync Housing provides room-block reservation sites, pickup tracking, dashboards, and guest-management tools.
4. Commercial considerations: GroupSync Marketplace is free for organizers, with no booking fees. Groups360 does not publish standard pricing for its hotel-facing Commerce, Housing, or other commercial products on the current product pages reviewed; those solutions are offered through a demo-led sales process.

Groups360 is most relevant where organizers want to move simpler group hotel bookings away from lengthy RFP exchanges while retaining an RFP path for larger events, and where hotels want direct control over the group inventory they make available online.
