The recognized leader in business lodging services.
For 30 years, Corporate Lodging Consultants has been the leading provider of customized lodging programs to businesses. Today, CLC is the largest lodging management service provider in North America and one of the world's largest managers of hotel room purchases. CLC's team of lodging experts has established relationships with more than 12,000 hotels across North America - which equates to nearly one out of every four hotels. Clients use CLC to purchase more than eight million room nights annually.
Employee travel is a critical component of business for Corporate Lodging Consultants' clientele. Today, more than 250 industry-leading corporations turn to CLC to achieve unparalleled savings on hotel expenses. Utilizing its unsurpassed purchasing power, along with its extensive database of hotel stay patterns, rates and local market trends, CLC is able to negotiate rates that are 30 to 50 percent below the best available rate. For most clients, that's an additional 15 to 30 percent below the best rates they could obtain themselves.
Beyond great rates, CLC clients dramatically simplify the administration of their lodging program and more effectively support their travelers. With the resources of CLC at their disposal, clients can free up time from their travel, purchasing, finance and operations departments to focus on their core business.
To deliver these extensive benefits, Corporate Lodging Consultants operates a state-of-the-art point-of-sale network that captures billing data in real-time and electronically transfers it to CLC's Wichita headquarters. There, CLC's proprietary TALON (Travel and Lodging Online Network) system automatically audits each stay and stores it in a data warehouse for analysis, billing and reporting. This Oracle-based system gives clients access to one of the most sophisticated lodging databases in the world.
The TALON system automatically performs many valuable functions - such as separating line-item expenses into client-defined cost or project codes and performing up to 52 separate audits on each bill to ensure accuracy. It also makes it easy for CLC's clients to query and cross-reference their accounts via the Internet, sorting data according to virtually any relevant variable.
Corporate Lodging Consultants' dedicated support staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer any questions and resolve any traveler issues.
CLC's unequalled expertise and devotion to delivering the very best lodging solutions results not only in significant savings, but ensures that Corporate Lodging Consultants remains an invaluable travel resource for its clientele.
