Prior to finding Engine, the HHS Logistics team, led by Mandy B. and Rachel A., used a different all-in-one travel booking platform for their lodging, flights, and rental car needs.
Additionally, the team found it frustrating that their previous booking platform did not have a central point of contact they could reach out to for help with reservation issues or modifications. “Having someone to reach out to who knows my name and knows our company is so nice. I’m not just dealing with a ticketing system; I’m dealing with a person,” says Mandy. “It gives us those warm, fuzzy feelings to know someone is there to support us with whatever we might need.”
In 2016, HHS began using Engine for their business lodging needs, which solved quite a few issues for the team. First, it allowed them to book lodging more quickly, including paying up-front for hotels and incidentals using Engine’s Direct Bill and Incidentals Coverage program. “The rates are great, and I can book 3 to 4 hotels on Engine in the time it took me to book one on the previous platform. It is a huge time savings for us,” said Mandy.
