Sabre cuts into the cloud
Sabre Travel Network has launched a new cloud-based product which the company says will make managing travel easier and more efficient for agents.
The Automated Task Library, a set of post-booking applications, automates processes such as schedule change management, queue management and re-distribution, as well as missed ticketing alerts. The company plans to add enhancements to the system with additional applications based on agent feedback.
Chris Kroeger, Sabre’s senior vice president of marketing, pointed out that the product has already proved effective in its initial limited release.
"One large travel management company reported more than $1 million in savings annually by automating the process of monitoring for PNRs that were not yet ticketed," he said.
Sabre says the product eliminates the need for agencies to maintain and support a local server-based application and relieves agencies’ IT departments of maintenance and monitoring tasks.
