Innovators Wanted

Sabre Corporation is looking for corporations and travel management companies to sign up for beta testing of the next phase of TruTrip.

TruTrip is Sabre’s solution for corporations and travel agencies to capture, aggregate and manage data on bookings made outside of the standard procurement process. The solution 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.

In the next phase, TruTrip will integrate out-of-program hotel bookings into the existing workflow and software solutions used by corporations and agencies.

Components in the new phase include the TruTrip Hub, which is 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.

Greg Webb, president of Sabre Travel Network, explained: “Because business travellers have more information and technology at their fingertips, travel managers feel more pressure than ever to comprehensively manage their programs. TruTrip provides travel management companies and corporations the flexibility to manage corporate travel policy with visibility of out-of-program trip details.”
