Sabre Pacific offers remote access option
Sabre Pacific travel agents in Australia and New Zealand can now access Sabre directly from their smartphone or tablet through Abacus Mobile, a purpose built mobile point-of-sale solution.
Abacus Mobile allows Sabre Pacific customers to stay connected and extend support to their travellers during urgent or critical situations even when they are out of the office.
Sabre Pacific CIO and head of product, Mark Mison, says "as Abacus Mobile is built on the latest HTML 5 platform and is designed specifically for smart phones and tablets, Abacus Mobile keeps usability top of mind as opposed to simply enabling a GDS emulator to be viewed on a smaller mobile screen."
Designed to complement, the desktop version of the GDS, Abacus Mobile gives Sabre Pacific agencies remote or after-hours access to the emulator.
"Via Abacus Mobile’s simple and intuitive online portal, travel consultants can now provide value-added services that translate into greater customer retention, boosting sales and productivity," says Mison.
With Abacus Mobile, Sabre Pacific agents can sign into their Sabre PCC’s using their regular sign in credentials to create, display or modify bookings; shop for fares; check queues; send itineraries and much more using Sabre linear commands.
