NEW YORK and SOUTHLAKE, Texas, July
1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre's GetThere and Rocketrip
have announced plans for a first-ever, fully integrated solution,
providing GetThere customers with out-of-the-box access to
Rocketrip without the need to deploy any new technology to
employees.
With their collaboration, the two companies will elevate the
business traveler's experience while helping travel, finance, and
HR teams meet their business goals. By leveraging the Rocketrip
reward platform, GetThere customers will be able to motivate and
reward employees who go above and beyond to save money on flights,
hotels, trains and rental cars. Rocketrip consistently saves its
customers 20-30% on travel costs.
"GetThere is an essential tool in Sabre's corporate solutions
portfolio, and given Rocketrip's track record of success in the
enterprise space, we're thrilled to integrate their solution into
GetThere," said Andy Finkelstein,
senior vice president of global accounts at Sabre Travel Network.
"By making Rocketrip more accessible to GetThere customers, Sabre
is able to offer a powerful tool that engages employees and
improves traveler satisfaction while reducing overall client
spend."
In today's workplace, a company's travel program has a massive
impact on its bottom line as well as on its culture, hiring and
retention. Sabre and Rocketrip have a shared goal of improving the
business travel experience for employees by rewarding their
cost-saving behavior and allowing employees to reinvest their
savings toward what matters most to them: a family vacation, a
child's tuition, a home remodel and more.
"This is the next step in deepening our partnership integration
with GetThere and ensuring that Rocketrip's value is readily
accessible to GetThere customers, regardless of the travel
management company they currently employ. There's a lot more to
come," said Dan Ruch, CEO at
Rocketrip. "We are very excited to offer GetThere customers a new,
more streamlined pathway to access Rocketrip that we haven't
previously made available through our other partners."
The solution is planned for commercial release later this
year.
