How SuiteHop expanded inventory and cut five-figure fees with Automatiq

SuiteHop relied on a single marketplace inventory source and was paying the price for it. Automatiq gave them a direct path to more inventory, lower fees, and best-in-class technology.

The challenge

SuiteHop had built a strong premium ticketing business, but continued growth meant expanding beyond a single marketplace inventory source and reducing the fees that came with it. The further a marketplace sits from the original seller, the more intermediary costs accumulate, and while inventory access was not the main issue, the cost and efficiency of that access was. For a premium ticketing marketplace competing on price and technology, that dependency was eating into margins and limiting their ability to grow.

 

The gaps holding them back were clear:

  • Limited to a single marketplace inventory source, capping their potential for more sales
  • Dependence on one provider, creating significant exposure risk
  • Higher costs from intermediary layers eating into margins
  • Outdated technology falling behind the best in the industry

"By going through Automatiq, we're getting closer to the source and cutting out layers of fees."

The solution

SuiteHop integrated with Automatiq's APIs to expand inventory access, reduce fees, and modernize its technical infrastructure. Because Automatiq sits closer to the originator of the supply than traditional broker networks, the integration meant fewer intermediary layers and lower fees from the start, giving SuiteHop a more direct and cost-effective path to more inventory.

 

Through Automatiq, SuiteHop gained:

  • Access to inventory across a broader range of supply sources
  • Lower costs by cutting out intermediary fees between buyer and seller
  • Competitive pricing that created greater opportunity for sales
  • Best-in-class technology to upgrade their technical foundation

“Automatiq is the best tech our developers have seen in the industry.”

SuiteHop went live immediately, with orders flowing from day one and no gradual onboarding period required. No ramp-up, no delays, just results from the moment the integration launched.
