FAQ: Optimizing your event procurement with Alfred Meeting

What is event and MICE procurement management?

Alfred Meeting is a management and optimization solution for event and MICE procurement. It combines a booking platform with dedicated human support to centralize all needs related to seminars, meetings, conventions, corporate parties, accommodation, catering, transportation, and team building activities.

With over 32,500 venues and referenced providers worldwide, Alfred Meeting allows companies to search, compare, book, and manage their professional events from a single, secure interface.

How to centralize your event expenses?

Alfred Meeting centralizes all event procurement on a single platform to provide a consolidated view of MICE spending. Procurement departments and companies can track committed budgets, booking volumes, spending categories, destinations, suppliers used, and savings achieved.

This centralization facilitates budget management, improves visibility on event spending, and helps identify new optimization levers at the company level.

Why set up a framework contract for your MICE procurement?

A framework agreement allows for standardizing and securing the pricing, legal, and commercial conditions applicable to event procurement. With Alfred Meeting, the company simplifies supplier management, reduces administrative tasks, and harmonizes its booking processes.

This system also helps to better manage risks, improve compliance with the company's procurement policy, and optimize MICE spending over the long term.

How to ensure competitive bidding among providers?

Alfred Meeting makes it easy to compare multiple offers for the same event need. Teams can view and compare proposals based on objective criteria: price, location, capacity, availability, included services, accessibility, or CSR criteria.

This competitive bidding promotes transparency in event procurement, improves decision quality, and helps identify the best balance between cost, quality, and suitability for the need.

Can we integrate our own providers and negotiated rates into the platform?

Yes. Alfred Meeting can integrate the suppliers already referenced by the company, its partner venues, and its negotiated pricing conditions. The goal is not to systematically replace the existing ecosystem, but to centralize it and make it more easily accessible to employees.

The company can thus leverage its existing agreements while benefiting from the Alfred Meeting network to expand its sourcing when necessary.

How to find an event venue not listed in the catalog?

If no referenced venue or provider exactly matches the need, the Alfred Meeting team carries out tailor-made event sourcing. New partners are identified and qualified according to the specifications, location, budget, operational constraints, and CSR criteria of the company.

This approach allows us to meet specific requests, including in complex geographic areas or for events requiring atypical services.

What savings can be made on event procurement?

Alfred Meeting helps reduce event costs through several complementary levers: competitive bidding among providers, price negotiation, transparent comparison of offers, access to preferential conditions, and optimization of various expense items.

Depending on purchasing volumes, the maturity of the procurement policy, and the level of spending centralization, savings can reach up to 20%. The solution also generates indirect savings by reducing time spent on sourcing, quote requests, internal approvals, and administrative supplier management.

How to integrate CSR criteria into event procurement?

Alfred Meeting allows integrating CSR criteria into the search and selection of event venues and providers. Companies can consider various indicators related to accessibility, transportation, suppliers' environmental commitments, or event location.

This approach helps procurement and CSR departments better manage the impact of their professional events and progressively align MICE procurement with the company's environmental goals.

What reports are available to manage MICE procurement?

Alfred Meeting offers reporting tools to consolidate and analyze event spending. Companies can track their booking volumes, budgets, savings achieved, event types, destinations, suppliers, and main expense categories.

This data provides procurement departments with better visibility into their MICE activity and facilitates the identification of savings levers, consumption trends, and optimization opportunities.
