simpleview Teams Up With Meetingmax

simpleview, North America’s fast-growing provider of technology solutions to the Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) industry, announced today a partnership with Meetingmax. Through the relationship, simpleview will market Meetingmax’s flexible and cost-effective online housing reservation system to its roster of DMO clients in North America.

“This new relationship presents great opportunities for our clients as well as for both companies,” says Ryan M. George, CEO, simpleview. “Meetingmax’s comprehensive online housing system rounds out our product offering and will provide our clients with new abilities to win group business.”

As part of the agreement, the two companies will begin integrating simpleview’s content and customer relationship management software with Meetingmax’s online housing system. This will help clients avoid the cost and hassle of working with independent systems and create a seamless experience for the user.

“This relationship makes sense on every level,” says Jeff Duncan, COO, Meetingmax Systems. “simpleview has established relationships with an extensive list of DMOs, but housing system technology hasn’t been their focus. With our background in meeting and event planning, we have been able to build a system that meets the needs of DMOs, event planners, and hotels.”

Meetingmax Signs Agreements With Four CVBs

Meetingmax announced today the signing of agreements with four Convention and Visitor Bureaus (CVBs): Tempe, AZ, Bakersfield, CA, Tri- Cities, WA, and Yakima, WA. These four communities will be added to Meetingmax’s growing roster of CVBs, meeting planners and organizations.

“Signing agreements with four CVBs within such a short period of time is a firm validation of our system,” says Jeff Duncan, COO, Meetingmax Systems. “With our background in planning meetings and events, we know exactly what is needed by CVBs, event planners, and hotels. We built the system that we always wished was out there.”

While Tri-Cities, Yakima, and Bakersfield had been shopping for a comprehensive housing system, Tempe was introduced to Meetingmax by organizers of the Ironman competitions. Based on their experience using Meeetingmax’s system to book guests into hotels for last September’s race in Madison, WI, they suggested that Tempe adopt the program prior to November’s event. Tempe’s CVB quickly saw the power of the system.

“Forward thinking bureaus and organizations should have the tools in place to make the entire reservation and housing process easier to track and simplified for all parties,” said Stephanie Nowack, CEO, Tempe Arizona Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Meetingmax is the best solution we’ve found to do this. Their systems have proven to be both easy to use and extremely well thought out.”
