Sabre-owned GetThere has launched a product package for midsize companies that includes travel booking, meetings planning and social networking capabilities.
GetThere is pitching the product suite to North American companies with 500 to 5,000 employees and less than $5 million in annual travel expenses.
Clients get a booking interface modeled after Travelocity's; access to air, car, hotel and rail reservations; connectivity with the client's travel agency to ensure seamless fulfillment; and travel policy tools.
The meetings-management portion has attendee registration and management tools; property and site searches that can be customized to fit corporate policy; and cost estimators for airfare and hotel rooms.
The social networking component, which uses Sabre's Cubeless platform, facilitates communication with traveling employees.
GetThere has implemented a per-employee, per-month pricing structure for the new product package.
Companies can choose to add services such as travel-expense management, consulting and control management (pre-trip approval and unused-ticket messaging, for example).
