Choice Hotels International has signed an agreement with food group-purchasing organization Entegra that will provide owners of Choice-branded hotels with access to more than 3,000 suppliers worldwide on Entegra’s digital group-purchasing organization platform. This agreement aims to help hotel owners make food-purchasing decisions, save money and improve their overall business performance.
In a statement, Entegra Global CEO Damien Calderini touted the company’s suite of data and digital tools, procurement solutions and supply-chain experience as a benefit for owners.
“Through this agreement with Entegra, we’re looking forward to bringing even more value to our brands and franchisees, who may see better pricing on products and greater day-to-day operational support,” said Choice Hotels VP of Procurement Anya Kroupnik. “This will enable us to continue delivering on Choice’s promise of providing opportunities to reduce the total cost of hotel ownership and enhance guest satisfaction.”
“Clients choose Entegra for a wide range of products and services and stay with us because we offer more ways for them to be competitive and thrive,” said Jeff Porterfield, Entegra senior vice president of client services. “In addition to savings, we’re excited to provide Choice franchisees with dedicated service and support, as well as access to our innovative technology platform to enable greater business intelligence and operational efficiency.”
