Key Awards and Vendor Intelligence

Sourcing Strategy Built on Proof, Guided by Partnership.

Choosing the right supplier shouldn't rely on guesswork or sales pitches alone. DayBlink Select provides standardized, data-driven intelligence to help luxury independent hotels discover, compare, and evaluate suppliers across the full spectrum of hospitality spend. 

OUR APPROACH

Finding the right operational partner requires more than a strong sales pitch. It requires a consistent framework for understanding how suppliers perform across the dimensions that matter to hospitality buyers.

With more than five years of hands-on experience working alongside the world's leading independent luxury hotels and their suppliers, DayBlink brings a uniquely informed perspective to supplier intelligence.
‍
Our approach begins with a global supplier universe of more than 50,000 companies across hospitality spend categories. We identify the suppliers most relevant to the global hospitality market and have currently evaluated 2,500+ leading vendors through the DayBlink Select methodology.
‍
The result is a growing, data-driven view of the hospitality supplier landscape—designed to help hotel teams make more informed sourcing decisions.
