$212,200 in Findable Waste: a Southeast Hotel Group
Picture a hotel group operating eight properties across the Southeast, with 340 employees and approximately $1,150,000 in annual software spend. No one has ever compared what each property pays for side by side. Here is what a review typically finds at a company matching this profile.

Revenue Management System Redundancy
A legacy RMS kept billing for two properties after the group's PMS migration was supposed to replace it entirely.
$38,200/yr
Unused PMS Revenue Management Add-On
Purchased group-wide, but only configured and actively used at three of the group's eight properties.
$42,800/yr
Fragmented AI Tool Subscriptions
Separate vendors for revenue management AI, a guest-facing chatbot, and content generation were each contracted independently across different properties.
$33,700/yr
Duplicate Staff Scheduling Tools
Two scheduling systems were running in parallel after a regional property management merger never fully consolidated onto one platform.
$31,600/yr
Dormant Guest Messaging Platform

$26,400/yr
HR Platform Over-Tier
Paying for multi-state compliance modules that were only relevant to properties in two of the group's operating states.
$24,900/yr
Billing Error Recovery
A payment processing integration had been charging several properties at a pre-negotiated rate rather than the contracted rate.
$14,600 (one-time)

What That Money Buys Back
For a group this size, $212,200 a year restores property-level marketing budgets and funds a dedicated revenue management hire.
The pattern behind this example: each property's stack is built by whoever onboarded the GM, and nobody ever compares them side by side.
