Our number one product at HSM is our expertise , and in recent years , supply chain expertise has become an extremely valuable commodity . Thanks to our forward thinking and upward momentum , HSM is experiencing another period of accelerated growth . In the last three years alone , our non-Hilton customer base has increased by over 90 percent , which is an exponential growth rate that is truly unparalleled in our organization ’ s history .
Recently , we signed our 15,000th property - that ’ s 1.9 million rooms - and we believe we ’ ve only just scratched the surface in terms of HSM ’ s growth potential . For properties who have not had the experience of partnering with a procurement provider solely focused on hospitality , I encourage them to give us a call so we can demonstrate the tangible value of teaming up with a truly dynamic and powerful group purchasing organization .
Tell us about some of the other brands that you serve and engage within your operations ? We represent more than 130 unique hospitality brands . First and foremost , we proudly support and engage with the 22 incredible brands in the Hilton enterprise , from Waldorf Astoria to Hampton by Hilton to the two newest brands in the Hilton family , Spark by Hilton and Project H3 by Hilton ( working title ). HSM has been tapped to serve as the dedicated procurement provider for both new brands , and our team played an integral role in value engineering prototypes , design
Our number one product at HSM is our expertise , and in recent years , supply chain expertise has become an extremely valuable commodity packages and product selections that will enable owners to move from groundbreaking to grand opening with optimal efficiency and operational ease . We are incredibly excited to have a hand in bringing Hilton ’ s first premium economy ( Spark by Hilton ) and residential extended stay ( Project H3 ) brands to life in markets across the country .
Beyond Hilton , HSM maintains a robust portfolio of independent and third-party hospitality brands . More than half of our properties today fly under flags other than Hilton , which is a testament , I think , to the caliber of industry expertise HSM brings to the table . One of our key differentiators is the ability to drive value and leverage our supplier relationships at scale , while simultaneously paying attention to the myriad details and nuances that accompany the highly specific needs of each individual
