How Hotel Suppliers Can Use Location Filters to Find Projects

So, why does location matter in a hotel project search? Every hotel project sits somewhere on our global map, and that spot shapes much of what happens around it. Since hotel suppliers in FF&E, AD&C, OS&E, FB&C, and M&S often think about delivery routes, installation crews, and local contacts early in the process, the THP hotel project database includes a location filter so suppliers can sort new projects by where they are being built. Starting with geography gives a supplier a list that already matches the areas they cover.

Most suppliers have a service area built up over years of shipping, site visits, and working relationships. A company based in Munich may focus on projects across Europe, while another may handle a single state or a handful of neighboring cities. Searching hotel projects by location lets each supplier see the projects that are located inside that area. What comes back is a shorter list, made up of projects the supplier’s team can reach and deliver to.

The Six Location Sub-Filters

Our location feature is divided into six sub-filters, arranged from the widest view to the most specific one. Users can apply a single filter or stack several in the same search. Each filter covers a different level of detail, so a search can be as broad or as narrow as needed. The six filters are:

• Region: the widest geographic grouping available in a search. Includes options such as Africa, Americas, APAC, DACH, EMEA, LATAM, ME, and more.

• Continent: includes projects in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

• Country: projects within a national border, such as Germany, Japan, or Brazil.

• State: projects within a particular state or province. Looking for luxury builds in Texas or California? We’ve got you covered.

• City: projects in a specific city. Searching for boutique hotels in Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, or New York City? Those cities have some pretty unique ones!

• Street: projects on a named street in any location.

A typical search moves down the list one step at a time. A supplier might begin with Continent, choose a Country, and then select a City to see what is being developed there. The Street filter is handy when a supplier already knows an address, such as a hotel mentioned at an industry event or a site they pass on a regular route. Because the filters work together, the hotel project search can be adjusted at any point without starting over.

Practical Ways Suppliers Use Location Filters

A regional sales manager can use the Country and State filters to build a call list for a given territory. Sales representatives who cover several states can run one search per state and keep their outreach organized by area. Travel planning also benefits, since the City filter shows which projects sit near each other and can be visited in a single trip. Sales teams can use these results as hotel sales leads that are already sorted by the places they serve.

Getting products to a hotel and meeting local requirements are part of procurement as well, and both vary with the location. Shipping costs, import rules, and local installation requirements vary from one country or city to the next, so suppliers often check a project’s location before deciding to pursue it. Companies planning to enter a new market can apply the Region or Continent filter to see activity in the hotel development pipeline for that part of the world. After choosing a market, they can narrow the search by Country and City to find the projects closest to their first shipments.

The THP location filter gives suppliers six ways to describe where they want to work, from an entire region down to a single street. Each filter can be used on its own or combined with the others, so a search can change as a supplier’s plans change. Sales teams, logistics staff, and travel planners can all begin from the same list of hotel projects sorted by place. Suppliers who want to try it can open the THP hotel database, select the Location filter, and start with the area they know best.
