THE WEDGE
Faster than TMCs. More accountable than AI.
The middle ground enterprise procurement actually wants. Automation at scale, with human expertise where it matters.
TRADITIONAL TMCs
Slow, expensive, manual.
- Multi-week sourcing cycles
- Per-event contracts and invoicing
- Manual budget reconciliation
- No real-time spend visibility
- Fees stacked on every transaction
PURE AI PLATFORMS
Fast, but no one to call.
- No human escalation path
- No central contract or vendor risk control
- No accountability when bookings fail
- Compliance and audit gaps
- Limited to scrape-able public inventory
HIRE SPACE 360
Both. By design.
- Fast search + 15-min Deep Research mode
- Named procurement experts on call
- One contract, one invoice, every venue + stay
- Real-time spend dashboard, in policy
- GDPR + PCI compliant payment infrastructure
