What we some highlights for you in 2024? One of the most exciting 2024 highlights for Throughline by IIG was establishing ourselves as procurement partners with major organizations that trusted us with their property portfolios, with their accounts bringing in seven to 11 properties at a time. This shift demonstrates the confidence our clients have in Throughline’s ability to deliver seamless, transparent and efficient project management simultaneously across multiple properties. It’s a testament to the robust systems we’ve developed and the dedication of our team. We also saw a sharp rise in client referrals and repeat business, which speaks volumes about the value we provide. This momentum reinforces Throughline’s reputation as a trusted player in the industry. - Jocelyn Lurie, VP Procurement - Throughline By IIG
