Rail booking capability expanded by Sabre
A rail booking system developed by Harry Weeks Travel is to be made available to Sabre travel agencies in the UK.
Agents booking via the Evolvi system will earn 9% commission on rail sales.
A link from the internet-based MySabre will take agents directly to Evolvi’s booking screen. All bookings will then automatically be incorporated in the Sabre PNR (Passenger Name Record) generated by the travel agency, allowing for seamless back office integration.
Evolvi will also be available to members of the Advantage Business Travel Focus Group using the Turbo Sabre system.
Sabre’s UK and Ireland vice president Reet Wiseman said: “Evolvi is a rail solution provided by a travel agency for travel agencies, which means it was developed with our UK agency customers’ needs in mind.
“It’s an easy to use, profitable and simple tool that will allow agencies to further enhance their customer service. We are pleased to offer it to the UK market now, as we work to provide an even more extensive and integrated rail offering.
“This is the latest in a fast-growing line of bookable product initiatives designed to meet changing travel agency needs. We are already looking at other initiatives to add even more value to customers.”
Harry Weeks Travel managing director Grahame Weeks said: “We wanted to partner with a GDS that would help us meet agency expectations. Sabre, with its leading technology and clearly-defined strategy based on a strong presence in every channel of travel distribution, ticked all the right boxes.”
