The Impala Advantage: A Smarter Way to Negotiate
Most companies either rely on a handful of internally negotiated rates with hotels near their offices or outsource the process to their TMC. Both approaches have significant drawbacks:
- Internal negotiations often result in suboptimal pricing due to lack of data, business case expertise, and dedicated resources
- TMCs typically apply a one-size-fits-all approach and prioritize their own commissions over client savings
Impala offers a smarter alternative. Our process begins with a comprehensive audit of your travel destinations and patterns, leveraging our proprietary technology to identify the optimal savings potential in each market.
Data-Driven Audits and Expert Negotiations
Our team conducts a thorough analysis of your company's hotel spend, benchmarking against industry data and best practices. We then present our findings in a detailed audit meeting with your key stakeholders, outlining:
- Specific negotiation opportunities and projected savings
- Recommended supplier mix and contract terms
- Implementation timeline and success metrics
You have full control over which negotiations to pursue based on your unique priorities and constraints. Impala's role is to not only provide the data and insights but also to execute the negotiations on your behalf, leveraging our expertise and supplier relationships to secure the most favorable terms.
