If you are the person responsible for finding temporary or long-term accommodation for your companies’ claimants when their residences are deemed unlivable (resulting in an insurance claim), this blog is for you!
Of course, every insurance claim, and claimant, is different so the way that you book their accommodation must prioritize their needs; however, if you find yourself booking the same hotel or hotel chain over and over, you can reap enormous benefits by booking contracted accommodation (rather than booking individually) – both for the short- or long-term stays. By negotiating and contracting for an undefined block of rooms over a set term – what the industry calls a “contracted block” – you can lock in deeply discounted, consistent rates and also earn additional benefits from the hotels, including free rooms (on credit), discounts, free upgrades, special amenities, free parking, free internet, free breakfast, and many more. And here’s the best part: these perks can help you better serve your claimants, while cutting your company’s costs. A true win/win situation!
So, how do can you get started booking contracted accommodation for your claimants?
The answer is simple: Vindow.
Vindow is an open and transparent online marketplace where hoteliers and buyers of contracted accommodations (like you!) can conduct business in the most efficient and cost-effective way. Vindow can help you better understand the value of your business to hotels and discover all the possible perks that you could collect, in exchange for contracting accommodations.
In addition, the cloud-based Vindow platform is an easy-to-use, all-in-one RFP-lifecycle management solution – supporting RFP creation through contracting – giving insurance relocation specialists access to useful data intelligence to enable informed decisions when evaluating multiple competitive offers from different properties. The robust platform also provides a secure repository to archive communications and contracts related to each claimant, making reviewing and managing ongoing contracts exponentially easier.
In short, Vindow is the best way for insurance relocation specialists to negotiate the best possible contract with the best accommodation provider – and earn the most additional perks – while keeping all current and archived contracts organized and easily accessible for future contract renegotiations or renewals.
