Read MoreHide Full Article

Sabre Corporation (SABR - Free Report) recently inked a new Premium Solution Partnership with the Stockholm-based post-booking expert, Trava, to automate post-booking processes for travel agencies.

With Trava's Global Distribution System (GDS)-agnostic ‘no code’ automation solutions, Sabre-connected travel sellers will be able to seamlessly create and manage sophisticated post-booking workflows. The solutions will automate post-booking processes like queue management, travel disruptions, refunds, exchanges, unused tickets and ticketing.

Trava solutions and preferential commercial terms will be provided to Sabre travelers from North America and EMEA regions. This will enable travel agents to deliver personalized customer experiences with increased efficiency and scalability that perfectly support their specific business requirements.

The automated solutions are likely to save manual time by more than 70% and upscale profit by approximately $5 per Passenger Name Record. The solutions come with client communication tools and self-service features, which will aid Sabre agents to save on employee time and increase profits without further escalating their operating costs.

 

Sabre’s GDS is a New Distribution Capability-enabled consistent end-to-end workflow solution, which works like a marketplace connecting travel suppliers with buyers. It is one of the largest marketplaces in the world that manages approximately $260 billion worth of global travel spending annually. Currently, it has over 425,000 agency partners worldwide.

The leading travel-related software and technology provider has its customer base spread over 160 nations globally. Recently, Sabre signed a distribution agreement with the Thai Airways subsidiary, THAI Smile, enabling it to utilize the company’s GDS platform to expand its footprint in new market segments, attract new leisure and corporate travelers and accelerate revenue growth.

In October, Sabre entered a long-term, multi-faceted strategic partnership with BCD Travel to jointly invest and collaborate on new and advanced solutions that will help accelerate technology-driven evolution across the corporate travel ecosystem. The agreement is likely to increase BCD Travel’s booking levels with Sabre.

In the same month, Sabre also signed a new agreement with Japan-based MyStays Hotel Management. Per the deal, the travel tech company will enable the Asian hotelier to expand its global reach, attracting international and corporate guests, with Japan relaxing pandemic-induced travel restrictions.
