Events Management
Knowland by Cendyn
Knowland by Cendyn is meetings and events market-intelligence software for hotel sales teams. It uses historical and current group-business data to help hotels find likely accounts, understand booking patterns, compare market activity and focus prospecting on opportunities that fit their property.
The assessment
What stands out
Strengths
Detailed meetings-market data. Sales teams can research actual group and event activity rather than rely only on generic company lists.
More focused prospecting. Account history, market activity and meeting patterns help teams decide which organisations are worth approaching.
Competitive context. Hotels can compare group performance and activity against chosen competitors and wider markets.
Positive independent evidence. Hotel Tech Report records 66 product-specific meetings-intelligence reviews, with strong feedback from larger hotels.
Worth knowing
Knowland is a sales-intelligence and prospecting product. It does not replace a sales and catering system, function diary, CRM, proposal tool, PMS or operational event-management platform.
Its usefulness depends on coverage in the hotel's market and the accuracy and freshness of account, contact and event data. Reviews commonly ask for better contact accuracy and wider market coverage.
Most Hotel Tech Report evidence comes from North America, although Knowland has expanded into London and other markets. UK hotels should ask for a demonstration using their own location, competitors and target accounts before committing.
