Instant Group Quotes + Holds + Contracts

BlockQuote

Direct pricing. Faster groups. Less leakage.

The Problem

Quote Response Time

48-72hrs

Groups book elsewhere while you price

Wholesale Margin Capture

15-25%

Revenue lost to indirect distribution

Pricing Visibility

0%

No audit trail, governance, or control

Group quoting is slow — email chains, manual quotes, 48-72hr response times

Inconsistent terms, pricing errors, low close rates

Wholesalers capture 15-25% margin and control distribution

No audit trail, no pricing governance, no visibility

Why It Matters Now

Resorts need margin recovery and distribution control post-COVID

AI makes messy RFP/quote operations automatable for the first time

Agencies demand speed and transparency

instant wins — Wholesale model is under pressure from direct distribution trends
