What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Springhill Suites By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, OneSource, a lead response management solution, has an estimated implementation cost of $600. This fee is payable directly to Springhill Suites By Marriott. OneSource enables hotels to receive and respond to leads for group business through specific sales channels, including QuickGroup.
Springhill Suites By Marriott requires franchisees to implement an opportunity management system, with participation in either OneSource or Sales Force Automation/Group Pricing Optimizer (SFAWeb/GPO) being mandatory, while CI/TY is optional. This means that while OneSource is a viable option, franchisees must invest in at least one of these systems to manage opportunities effectively.
It's important to note that SFAWeb/GPO offers all the functionality of OneSource, along with additional features for account, customer, and opportunity management. The implementation cost for SFAWeb/GPO is significantly higher at $16,000, but it may be a worthwhile investment for hotels seeking more comprehensive management tools. Franchisees should evaluate their specific needs and business volume to determine which system best suits their requirements.
