SOUTHLAKE, Texas, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation announced that it is opening enrollment for the beta
test of the next phase of TruTrip, Sabre's solution for
corporations and travel agencies to capture, aggregate and manage
data on bookings made outside of the standard procurement
process. TruTrip creates a single travel itinerary and keeps
it continuously synchronized with online, offline, and mobile
tools, allowing corporate travel managers and travel agencies to
capture and service travel activity, regardless of where a booking
originates.
The next phase of TruTrip seamlessly integrates out-of-program
bookings for hotel into the existing workflow and software
solutions used by corporations and agencies. Beta test
functionality will be shown as part of the Sabre booth (Booth
#1513) at GBTA Convention 2014 from July 28–30 in Los Angeles.
Among the main components of this next phase is the TruTrip Hub,
an intelligent rules engine that aggregates and normalizes business
travel itinerary data from different sources, and a new
open-systems trip record that integrates an out-of-program booking
directly into that trip record as a structured segment.
"Because business travelers have more information and technology
at their fingertips, travel managers feel more pressure than ever
to comprehensively manage their programs," said Greg Webb, president of Sabre Travel Network.
"TruTrip provides travel management companies and corporations the
flexibility to manage corporate travel policy with visibility of
out-of-program trip details."
For seamless service and program management, trip information
captured through TruTrip dynamically updates the different travel
manager, traveler, and travel management company software
applications.
Sabre launched the first phase of TruTrip with the release of
TripCase Corporate in April. Using TripCase Corporate, travelers
who make a reservation outside their corporate travel program can
designate trip elements, such as a flight or hotel stay, as being
for business. The information is then captured and shared with the
corporation through an easy-to-use dashboard, allowing travel
buyers to identify, track, and manage out-of-program spend.
