Sabre has launched a mobile app for travel agents on the go who need to book travel and serve customers: the Sabre Red Mobile Workspace.
The app provides access to agent functions such as air, car, hotel shopping and booking, customer profiles, PNR servicing, seat maps, ticketing capabilities and more.
According to senior vp of Sabre Travel Network, Chris Kroeger, the Red Mobile Workspace is a purpose-built app designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities offered by tablets, including touch and swipe gestures.
The app incorporates a custom Sabre keyboard, providing easy access to alpha, numeric and symbol characters from one screen. In addition, an embedded browser gives agents in-app access to popular Sabre resources such as Agency eServices and AgentStream, says Chris.
It also operates as an extension of the Sabre Red Workspace and uses cloud technology to share and automatically sync reservations information, customer profiles, user preferences and shortcuts across devices.
"Technology is evolving, and so is the way travel agents want to work. Travel agents increasingly face the need to serve their customers wherever and whenever. The Sabre Red Mobile Workspace gives them the freedom to do so,” Chris says.
