Overview
How each tool is described
Groups360
What is 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
MeetingPackage
What is MeetingPackage?
MeetingPackage is an AI-native central reservation and sales platform built specifically for hotel Groups, Meetings & Events. It manages venue inventory, pricing, enquiries, proposals, bookings, lead routing, and distribution across individual properties and multi-hotel portfolios.
- Booking and sales workflow: the CRS brings email, phone, walk-in, partner-channel, and online enquiries into one pipeline with room availability, holds, customer profiles, pricing, and booking status. Its Booking Engine exposes live pricing and availability for instant booking, while larger or more complex events can enter as RFPs and continue through proposal, amendment, and confirmation workflows.
- AI Suite: MeetingPackage currently has five specialized agents. The AI Email Agent extracts dates, attendance, meeting rooms, F&B, budget, and contact information from inbound RFPs and can follow up for missing details; the AI Phone Agent converts natural-language calls into structured enquiries. Venue Search, Event Builder, and Booking Assistant extend AI into venue discovery, conversational event creation, room configuration, and quoting.
- Distribution and integrations: MeetingPackage advertises 100+ first-party integrations plus REST APIs and webhooks. Connections span PMS and Sales & Catering systems such as Oracle OPERA, Mews, Event Temple, and Infor, as well as distribution channels such as Cvent. Its Distribution API supports availability searches, direct bookings, RFPs, messaging, booking management, and real-time webhook events.
- Platform structure: alongside the core CRS and AI Suite, MeetingPackage provides a direct Booking Engine, interactive eProposal, Global Lead Passing for portfolio-wide lead routing, and a Channel Manager for synchronizing meeting inventory across distribution partners. Public standard pricing is not currently listed; purchasing is primarily demo- and sales-led.
MeetingPackage is most relevant to hotels and hotel groups that want enquiries, venue availability, pricing, proposals, distribution, and AI-assisted sales automation to operate from one M&E-specific reservation system rather than separate inboxes and sales tools.
