What is a hospitality commercial platform?

A hospitality commercial platform is the system hotels, resorts, venues and convention centers use to run revenue-generating sales outside the booking engine: group and corporate accounts, room blocks, meetings and events (MICE), sales & catering, banquet event orders and multi-property selling through a global sales office (GSO). It sits alongside the property management system (PMS), which runs rooms inventory and folios, and the two are integrated so sales teams quote from live availability.
