More Than a Procurement Program—A True System Enabler
Crescent’s collaboration with Avendra extends far beyond pricing. Avendra acts as an extension of Crescent’s procurement infrastructure, supporting both the day‑to‑day operations and long‑term systems strategy that keep a global hotel portfolio running smoothly.
With pre‑negotiated contracts, vetted suppliers, and strong quality assurance processes, Avendra ensures that every product delivered to Crescent’s properties meets the standards guests expect.
“When things are delivered to the hotel, they’re of the appropriate quality. If not, Avendra helps solve the problem,” says Butts.
This level of hands‑on support is critical in an industry where consistency, reliability, and speed matter.
Delivering Long‑Term Value Through Scale and Expertise
By leveraging Avendra’s global buying power, market expertise, and technology, Crescent optimizes purchasing without compromising service or guest experience.
“So when we take the significant purchasing leverage they have and bring it into our organization, it helps save the hotel money without affecting quality or service,” says Butts.
“We get to use Avendra’s local expertise, global buying power, and technology to maximize long‑term value. Their continued support is vital.”
The result? Strengthened operations, better financial control, and a procurement program designed for long‑term success.
