Description

Intelligent and innovative network to reduce costs in the purchasing management of companies in the tourism sector. The Intelligent Network was a computer application in which users registered and, by introducing a series of variables, a visual map of supply and demand for supplies in the tourism sector in Extremadura was obtained, which served to obtain basic, first-hand information on prices.

All of this was of great use to the sector's entrepreneurs, not only because of the quality and quantity of information available to them, but also because of the increased negotiating power they were able to obtain with suppliers. In this way, and thanks to the functionalities of this tool, it was possible to favour the competitiveness of the tourism sector in the region, reducing its costs and increasing its profits.
