Wayfindr for hospitality

Behind every great opening.

Logistics programs for hotel openings and renovations. One team that owns the date, from the first PO to the first guest.

Open on the fixed date
One accountable team
20+ markets, one program
The one date that can’t move

A hotel doesn’t open quietly. It opens on a date that’s already been booked, staffed, and announced.

Every sofa, spoon, and spa robe has to clear customs, cross an ocean, and land in the right room before the first guest does. Miss the date and the cost isn’t a line item. It’s the launch.

The challenge

Four things turn an opening into a scramble.

Suppliers everywhere

FF&E and OS&E from dozens of makers across as many countries.

A critical path with no slack

One late container moves the opening, not the schedule.

Renovations in a live hotel

Deliveries that can’t disrupt the guests already paying to stay.

Customs and compliance risk

IOR, MOR and EOR exposure in every market you enter.

This is the problem Wayfindr was built to own.

The shift

Not another freight vendor. One team that owns the date.

Most groups stitch openings together from a dozen suppliers and hope the dates line up. You get one program, one point of accountability, and one team that answers for the opening from the first PO to the first guest.

You get Wayfindr. Wayfindr handles the rest.
The program

One program, from factory floor to opening day.

A plug-and-play operating model built around how hotels actually open, not how freight usually ships.

What we run

Specialist hospitality services.

FF&E and OS&E consolidation

Every supplier and origin, merged into one managed flow.

Room-in-a-box

Each room’s contents kitted, labelled, and sequenced.

White-glove inside delivery

Placed and unpacked in the room, not left at the dock.

Reverse logistics

Old fixtures and furniture removed and routed responsibly.

Dedicated hospitality project managers

People who have opened hotels before, not learning on yours.

Risk, handled

The exposure that keeps openings up at night.

Customs brokerage, globally

IOR, MOR and EOR managed in every market you enter.

Contingency built in

Air charter and alternate ports ready before you need them.

High-value asset cover

Insurance for artwork and luxury FF&E while in transit.

Live-site compliance

Health, safety and access planning for occupied hotels.

One view

Every property, every shipment, one screen.

Bundle is the platform behind the program. Track each opening against its critical path, see every container across every market, and react before a delay becomes a slipped date.

Beyond logistics: market-entry capabilities.

Opening in a new country is more than freight. Wayfindr+ handles the commercial and compliance layer, so a property can trade from day one.

IOR & DMT

We act as your Importer of Record, so goods can enter a market before you have a local entity in place.

VAT

VAT registration and handling, sorted per market, so pricing and compliance are right from the first shipment.

Duty & tax calculations

Landed cost, calculated up front. Duties and taxes are clear before goods move, with no surprises at the border.

The difference

Same opening. Two very different runs.

Opening it the usual way

Many vendors to chase
No one owns the date
Problems found on site
Your team living in spreadsheets
Every new market starts from scratch

Opening it with Wayfindr

One team, one number
Wayfindr owns the date
Problems solved before the container lands
Your team focused on the launch
A repeatable playbook for every property
The old fit-out

What leaves the building matters as much as what enters it.

Responsible removal

Old FF&E recycled or sent to certified disposal, with a paper trail.

Donation routes

Usable furniture and fixtures directed to local charities and communities where they exist.

Consolidated loads

Fewer trips, less handling, and less waste across the removal program.

How we’re measured

You set the targets. We report against them.

On-time to opening day

Tracked per property, reported weekly against the critical path.

Damage and claims ratio

Measured on high-value FF&E from origin to installed room.

Critical-path visibility

Share of shipments live in Bundle, end to end.

A dedicated project team with hotel-opening experience, against the SLAs you set.

You tell us the market.
We’ve already been there.
