SOUTHLAKE, Texas, July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TripCase,
Sabre's web and mobile travel application, is now making it easier
for travel arrangers to stay in touch with travelers through new
TripCase Follower capabilities. TripCase is the first travel
itinerary app to give travel arrangers anywhere-access to the
details of their travelers' trips including the latest itinerary
updates.
Designed for those who manage travel for others, the new
TripCase follower features make it easy for travel arrangers to see
real-time updates of another person's trip. This allows travel
arrangers and others to review last-minute changes, accommodate for
flight disruptions, and ensure hotel and ground transportation are
reserved. Travel arrangers can continue to provide a high-touch
level of service even when away from their desks through their
mobile phones.
"At TripCase, we believe that travel managers and arrangers
deserve the best technology to support their travelers on the road.
That's why we created the new follower capabilities", said
John Samuel, senior vice president,
Sabre Traveler Solutions. "We aim to create the best experience for
travelers and enabling travel arrangers to stay one step ahead of
the game by simply 'following' their traveler's trip on TripCase
ultimately results in an all-around better trip for everyone."
Integrated with the Sabre system, it provides users with
real-time itinerary details. Travel arrangers can be confident that
as a follower, any disruptions related to
their traveler's trip, such as flight delays, gate changes
and hotel reservation updates, will be reflected in their own
TripCase account.
The new follower capabilities were built with the travel
arranger in mind but travel agents who would like to provide
first-class service can use these features as well. In fact,
agencies have the added ability to automatically import follower
trips into a TripCase account at time of booking.
"It's inspiring to see how TripCase uses their understanding of
the complex travel marketplace to build solutions that solve every
day frustrations for those who manage travel for others," said
David Coffman at Omega World Travel,
a leading travel management company in the US.
Travel arrangers also have the ability to easily add their
traveler's trip items to their personal or corporate calendar. Each
item is now clearly labeled with the traveler's name to facilitate
the management process. Users can learn about the different ways
TripCase has simplified the trip sharing process in these short
videos for travelers and travel arrangers.
TripCase launched follower features for travelers earlier this
year so friends, family and co-workers could stay informed of the
travelers whereabouts throughout a trip. Currently on track to
process more than 20 million trips in 2014, TripCase is an
application used by millions of travelers to manage every aspect of
their travel itinerary.
