SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Feb. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation
(NASDAQ: SABR), the leading technology provider to the global
travel industry, has been recognized by the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) as NDC Level 3 capable as an I.T.
provider. Reaching this milestone less than two months after
announcing Level 2 capability, Sabre accelerates its commitment to
leading the evolution of retailing and distribution technology.
By granting Sabre "NDC capable" Level 3 status under the NDC
certification program, IATA recognizes that Sabre supports
deployments using offer and order management messages whose schemas
are compliant with the standard NDC message schema. Sabre has
therefore demonstrated its ability to provide a broad range of
retailing capabilities to a variety of sellers, including
end-to-end offer and order fulfillment and servicing.
Along with the ability to create and personalize offers, Level 3
capability indicates that Sabre is now positioned to fulfill and
service those orders throughout the entire process in both direct
and indirect channels. A major component of this includes verifying
offer integrity and ensuring that the order management system can
accurately enforce orders based on the rules of the original offer.
It is Sabre's leading position at the center of the travel industry
that empowers it to leverage data from a variety of sources,
ultimately reinforcing offer integrity and fulfillment. Going
forward, Sabre is actively working to deploy these capabilities in
the coming months through close collaboration with its
customers.
"This represents significant progress in our NDC-enabled airline
retailing and product distribution strategy and demonstrates how we
impact every step of the order and fulfillment process," said
Dave Shirk, president of Sabre
Airline Solutions. "But Level 3 capability is just one step in the
process of constant innovation and adaptation to a changing
marketplace, and now we are focused on bringing these new
capabilities to market as part of our drive to achieving an
end-to-end product and services distribution solution."
Sabre is also certified as an NDC Level 1 aggregator, with a
roadmap to reaching Level 3 in 2018.
