What iVvy is
iVvy is an end-to-end venue and event management platform, founded in 2009 on the Gold Coast, Australia. It runs the operational side of a venue's event business across hotels, event centres and sports venues – covering enquiries, proposals, contracts, banquet event orders, payments, ticketing, CRM, function-diary scheduling and reporting.
hivr.ai and iVvy work together
iVvy is hivr.ai's exclusive distribution partner in APAC. Several of iVvy's products and features – iVvyAI, Email Agent, Lead Qualification Agent, Data Entry Agent and Instant Proposal – are powered by hivr.ai under the hood. So if you run iVvy in the region, hivr.ai is already driving how it accelerates meetings and groups sales through agentic AI. Learn more about the integration.
hivr.ai as an iVvy alternative
hivr.ai is purpose-built for one thing: removing repetitive manual work from meetings, groups and events sales so teams close more business, faster. It is the only solution on the market built AI-first from the ground up: teams of AI agents running the cycle end to end, around the specific complexity of M&E. Not AI features added to a platform built for something else.
iVvy arrived from the other direction: it launched in 2009 as a venue and event management platform, and has recently been adding AI features with the help of hivr.ai – the technology leader in agentic AI for M&E, proven at 2,000 hotels and venues worldwide, and backed by Amadeus.
Every enquiry captured, from every channel
iVvy runs the venue's operations; hivr.ai fills them. hivr.ai's AI agents capture each enquiry the moment it lands and read it into one view – email, your website, a booking platform like Cvent – with every leading demand channel integrated out of the box. That includes the phone: a voice agent answers around the clock in 50+ languages, qualifies the caller while they are still on the line, and turns the conversation into a structured RFP like any other channel. Nothing goes cold because it arrived somewhere no one was watching.
Respond in minutes, not days
iVvy holds the availability and the rates. hivr.ai's AI agents read them and act on them: they qualify each enquiry on arrival, chase whatever detail is missing, and build the quote – space, rooms, F&B, AV – so your team can reply while the planner is still deciding. Event venues that respond within a few hours convert group enquiries at roughly twice the rate of those that reply the next day.
Your team closes; the agents handle the admin
iVvy handles contracts, BEOs and payments. hivr.ai runs everything in front of them – and iVvy's own AI products already run on hivr.ai. The agents take the manual work from enquiry to confirmed booking, so your people spend their time on relationships and winning deals instead of parsing emails and copy-pasting data across systems. The proposal itself is a live page rather than a PDF, with a binding signature on it, and once it's signed the agents fill the contracted room block automatically.
Works with the systems you already run
hivr.ai works with the venue's whole stack, whichever systems you run. The agents read availability and rate rules out of your sales-and-catering system and CRM to build the quote, then write the enquiry, proposal and booking back in, matched to the right account, across 100+ integrations. Nothing ripped out, nothing replaced.

Who hivr.ai is for
hivr.ai is for event venues where M&E enquiries arrive across many channels and the speed of the first response decides who wins the business.
It's for the teams drowning in manual work: reading, checking, copy-pasting, building and chasing before a proposal goes out. Across five different systems and multiple colleagues.
If this sounds like your team's reality, hivr.ai is for you.
Frequently asked questions
Is hivr.ai an iVvy alternative?
Yes and no. If you want an AI Sales Engine that captures, qualifies and converts every M&E enquiry in minutes, hivr.ai is exactly that. But the two are not really rivals – hivr.ai partners with iVvy and powers some of its products, like iVvyAI.
How does hivr.ai work with iVvy?
iVvy is hivr.ai's distribution partner in APAC, and several of iVvy's features are powered by hivr.ai under the hood. Where they connect, hivr.ai handles the incoming-enquiry work – reading each RFP, checking availability, building the proposal – while your team runs bookings, the diary and event operations in iVvy.
What does hivr.ai do for M&E sales?
hivr.ai's AI agents capture every enquiry across every channel, then qualify, quote, propose, sign, and fill the block – reading availability and rate rules out of the systems you already run to build the quote, then writing the enquiry, proposal and booking back in, matched to the right account. The agents handle the manual work from first enquiry to confirmed booking, so your team responds faster and wins more business – proven across 2,000+ meeting and event venues.
