What Corporate Lodging Consultants does

Corporate Lodging Consultants, doing business as Corpay Lodging (formerly CLC Lodging), is a workforce lodging management platform founded in 1977 and headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. The company operates as a business unit of Corpay, Inc. (NYSE: CPAY), a publicly traded corporate payments company, following an April 2025 rebrand that unified the lodging franchise with Corpay's broader suite of fuel cards, AP automation, and corporate spending products. Corpay Lodging serves more than 800,000 companies and processes approximately 20.3 million room nights annually, with a stated $3.5 billion in pre-negotiated hotel purchasing power and a 2 million-property network that, as of January 2026, spans global inventory available to U.S.-based customers in addition to its core U.S. and Canada footprint.

The platform is cloud-based and built around centralized booking, billing, reporting, and reconciliation, with proprietary modules including the CheckINN Card digital wallet, Traveler Tracker duty-of-care mapping, a customized travel-manager dashboard, automated invoice coding and auditing, and iOS/Android mobile apps. Core product lines are Workforce Travel, Project & Group Travel, Enterprise Travel, Emergency Travel, and Corporate Housing, supported by value-add modules for hotel savings, flexible booking (including walk-ins and 24-hour stays), 24/7 U.S.-based traveler support, and integration with Corpay's payment products. Primary verticals are construction and oil & gas, with secondary emphasis on enterprise corporations and small to mid-sized businesses requiring simple, no-cost access to discounted lodging.

Revenue is generated transactionally, on a take-rate basis, by capturing the spread between pre-negotiated corporate hotel rates and the rates charged to member companies; there are no signup fees, no monthly fees, and pricing is quote-based. Go-to-market mixes self-serve online enrollment for SMBs, an inside-sales team (1-866-369-4755) for mid-market, and field sales with custom hotel directories and dedicated account management for enterprise accounts; a hotel partner network supports two-sided distribution. The company last received outside capital from Nautic Partners in a 2003 funding round, and historical headcount is reported in the 101-250 range, consistent with an asset-light operating model that leverages the parent Corpay infrastructure for payments and back-office functions.
