San Diego, CA, 29 January 2026: ReadyBid, the global leader in hotel RFP and hotel sourcing automation, has unveiled its groundbreaking Real-Time Rate Intelligence Engine (RTRI) - a live analytics system that delivers immediate, data-driven visibility into hotel market fluctuations, rate parity, and sourcing opportunities across global markets.

The RTRI technology extends the power of ReadyBid’s hotel RFP tool and hotel sourcing tool by connecting real-time rate data with predictive analytics. Corporations can now track rate changes as they happen, identify savings potential instantly, and bid on hotels with full market clarity.

Joseph Friedmann, President & CEO of ReadyBid, stated, “In a market that moves by the minute, static pricing no longer works. ReadyBid’s Real-Time Rate Intelligence Engine gives procurement leaders live insight - turning volatility into opportunity.”

The RTRI system aggregates rate data from global distribution systems, supplier feeds, and corporate rate databases to deliver up-to-the-second intelligence on hotel pricing trends. It then overlays AI-driven forecasting to anticipate shifts in rate behavior, helping procurement teams decide when and where to launch RFPs for maximum impact.

Through seamless integration with ReadyBid’s hotel sourcing tool, users can visualize pricing insights across cities, brands, and timeframes, empowering them to compare negotiated rates against live market averages. This capability ensures corporations maintain consistent rate competitiveness and governance across all sourcing programs.

The RTRI dashboard also integrates sustainability indicators, enabling corporations to weigh environmental impact alongside financial decisions. Procurement leaders can evaluate not only the best time to negotiate rates but also which suppliers align with ESG goals.

Friedmann added, “Rate intelligence shouldn’t just save money - it should strengthen purpose. Our clients can now make smarter sourcing choices that benefit both their bottom line and the planet.”

Early users have reported substantial gains in negotiation accuracy and savings efficiency. One global consulting enterprise reduced its average rate deviation by 28% while improving sourcing speed by 35%.

The launch of RTRI underscores ReadyBid’s ongoing mission to provide corporations with the tools needed to operate in real-time, data-rich procurement environments. As volatility becomes a defining feature of the global hotel market, ReadyBid’s intelligent technology gives organizations the foresight and agility to lead confidently.
