BizMeeting is wasting no time in making a name for itself on the French MICE market. Just a few months after its official launch, the start-up has teamed up with Avexia, a well-known player on the French business travel scene. In a press release published on 17 September, the business travel agency explains that it successfully completed a test period with the Bizmeeting solution between April and July 2014: "nearly 200 requests for quotes were processed by Avexia's teams using BizMeeting solutions, with feedback deemed very positive. With the adoption of BizMeeting, the Group Space advisors have access to the widest offer on the market with more than 20,000 meeting venues in France, 16,000 restaurants, 11,000 incentive activities and more than 9,000 points of interest". In addition to the attractiveness of this database, Avexia intends to gain in productivity when processing requests for quotes, while optimising exchanges with meeting venues. Seminar management is a fast-growing offering at Avexia," says Marianne Karlin, Head of MICE & Leisure Sales at the business travel agency. "With the increase in our volumes and the confidence of new customers, we needed a venue search tool to improve the quality of our service," she adds.
