French agency switches from Amadeus to Sabre

Sunday, 07 Apr, 2006 0

French leisure travel agency Alpilles Voyages has converted from Amadeus to the Sabre GDS. 

The conversion was made on the recommendation of the Marseilles-based agency’s staff, who are now using the internet-based MySabre booking product.

The agency’s network comprises 10 travel agencies located in the south of France plus three more due to open this year. 

Alpilles Voyages managing director Philippe Beissier said: “We are a forward-looking business, growing at a time when those of us in the travel industry face unprecedented challenges.

“We wanted to partner with a technology and content provider with a good strategy for future growth, and who we felt would support the agency community in these interesting times. Sabre was our choice.”

Alpilles Voyages’ staff chose Sabre unanimously and branches were up and running on Sabre in five months.

“Sabre is a highly-competitive GDS in France and it has a great reputation, but I particularly wanted to see why our staff were so keen to switch,” Beissier said.  “They really liked the ease of use and the flexibility of the system. They also really appreciated the involvement of Sabre Travel Network commercial and technical staff in helping to make the migration project a success.

“The whole conversion process wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it might be.”
