Case Study
Challenge
A family-owned vacation ownership company with more than four decades of experience operated 40 resorts across four key markets and managed 1,400 units. Each location sourced amenities, uniforms, branded items, and towels independently, creating inconsistent quality levels and a varied guest experience. As the organization marked its 40-year milestone, it set a priority to strengthen uniformity across properties and elevate its operational standards
The company faced rising annual costs—including more than $500,000 spent on bath and pool towels—and increasingly complex vendor coordination. Fragmented supply chains created delays and unpredictable service levels. Without a standardized amenities program or a centralized procurement structure, the leadership team needed a partner capable of consolidating sourcing, improving quality, and creating a scalable, cost-efficient model that reduced operational burden across all resorts.
solution
XBP’s Marketing Execution Services (XME) introduced a fully structured sourcing and execution model that replaced disconnected property-level purchasing with a unified operational framework. A standardized amenities program was deployed across all 40 resorts, along with a coordinated uniform program that strengthened brand presentation. XME also implemented a centralized coffee program supporting 40 locations and 1,400 rooms, ensuring consistency throughout the guest experience.
All ordering activity moved onto the XME platform, giving the organization a single point of control and eliminating redundancy in the procurement process. XME managed multiple product-specific offshore vendors and oversaw fulfillment end-to-end, ensuring accurate deliveries, predictable timing, and consistent quality. This model provided a reliable foundation for day-to-day operations while supporting long-term scalability across the entire property network.
Benefits
Through its partnership with XME, the vacation ownership company gained predictable quality, streamlined ordering, and improved visibility across all resort locations. The unified structure reduced manual coordination and strengthened brand consistency across every touchpoint.
