Talk about the youth sports circle of life: Mom and Dad can now get a hotel for the tournament within the same app Grandma and Grandpa will stream the games.
SportsEngine has integrated HotelPlanner’s booking technology into its platform with a white-label product. The move will allow customer organizations to build customized bookings and room blocks for competitions.
This is notable given the sheer scale of SportsEngine’s platform. Adding hotels and lodging makes SE a more compelling option for events.
That said, HotelPlanner is a horizontal SaaS company working across a range of industries and use-cases. Meanwhile, you have EventConnect (our sponsor today!), which is a full-stack vertical SaaS company purpose-built for youth sports tournaments and offering a much more robust feature set for this purpose.
Ironically, HotelPlanner owns unrelated, Australian-based EventConnect[dot]com.
And yet, not a spacebar to be found between words.
