Sabre introduced the Travel Experience Platform, a mobile
app for business travelers that enables booking, itinerary management,
messaging and travel risk management solutions.
The app has integrated air and hotel booking capabilities
through Sabre’s GetThere, TripCase’s itinerary management and messaging
features, and a travel risk management solution from SafePoint, giving
travelers the ability to check in with employers and request assistance if
necessary.
Sabre said the Travel Experience Platform is designed to be
a single app for business travelers, replacing the multiple apps they may have
used in the past (a Sabre and GBTA Foundation study found business travelers
use an average of nine apps to manage their travel).
Sabre said the platform is available to travelers through
their employers’ travel program. It adheres to a company’s booking policies,
captures expenses and auto-fills expense reports upon a trip’s completion.
“Travel is a strategic investment for corporations that can
bring significant returns, which is why we built a platform that provides
scalable innovation to drive two key objectives: experience and efficiency,” said
Florian Tinnus, vice president of Traveler Experience at Sabre. “In the past
you had to give up one to have the other. With this scalable platform, you
basically have it all.”
