SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) and CWT are building upon their
decades-long relationship, collaborating on a number of new
strategic initiatives designed to enhance the traveler experience
and help CWT meet its strategic business goals.
"Expanding our relationship with Sabre last year was the right
decision for CWT as their commitment to delivery excellence and
outstanding service is evident throughout our relationship," said
Vince Chirico, senior vice president
of global network & technology partners for CWT. "Building on
our successes to date, we are turning our attention to exploring
new approaches and solutions designed to advance forward both the
industry and the experience of our travelers."
As a member of Sabre's Beyond NDC program and its NDC Customer
Advisory Board, CWT leadership is helping to drive Sabre's effort
to develop and deliver end-to-end NDC solutions to the marketplace.
CWT is currently testing Sabre's new NDC-enabled APIs recently
released with United Airlines. Sabre's advanced shopping API
integrates and normalizes air content from all sources, including
traditional, low cost carrier and NDC offers.
In addition, CWT is testing Sabre's new storefront solution that
enables attribute-based comparison-shopping across multiple offers
from different airlines. Powered by the latest evolution of
Sabre's air shopping APIs, Sabre's solution allows for the
display of multiple fares per itinerary, categorized by various
attributes and then normalized for comparison shopping. This
solution is designed to accelerate NDC capabilities by ensuring
travel agencies and other third-party travel buyers can offer
travelers the right offer at the right time.
"Sabre and CWT share a deep commitment to developing innovative
new technology solutions and delivering those to the market quickly
and at scale. It's one of the many reasons our partnership is so
successful," said Andy Finkelstein,
senior vice president for Sabre Travel Network. "Having customers
like CWT who are willing to partner with us to solve some of the
travel industry's toughest problems is important as we focus on
delivering the next generation of retailing, distribution and
fulfillment in order to meet the personalized demands of today's
traveler."
To grow and support CWT's business, the two companies are also
working together to plan and manage the implementation of Sabre Red
360, co-develop functionality deployed in CWT's mobile booking
application – myCWT, and optimize further agent workflow based on
in-depth time and motion studies conducted by Sabre.
