SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Feb. 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:
SABR), a leading software and technology provider that powers the
global travel industry, is the first global distribution system
(GDS) to provide New Distribution Capability (NDC) content to
corporate travelers through SAP® Concur®, the
world's leading brand for travel, expense, and invoice management
solutions.
Since SAP Concur integrated Sabre's Offer and Order APIs in the
fourth quarter of 2023, TMCs and corporations using
Concur® Travel are able to shop, book, fulfil and
service NDC content from a growing number of carriers via the Sabre
GDS.
"To make NDC scale, all links in the travel value chain have to
evolve if the industry is to achieve the full potential of NDC. At
Sabre, we have the privilege of collaborating across the travel
ecosystem," said Kathy Morgan, Vice
President, Distribution Experience Product Management at Sabre
Travel Solutions. "We're excited to be the first GDS that powers
NDC for SAP Concur and the corporate travelers they serve."
By making Sabre-sourced NDC content available to its customers
and users, SAP Concur can help accelerate the industry's shift from
traditional EDIFACT to NDC distribution. In turn, corporations will
gain access to more personalized offers to deliver a better travel
experience to their employees.
Morgan continued, "Now that the technical foundations of NDC are
largely complete, attention will turn back to airlines to see what
types of innovative offers they will create and distribute via NDC
connections. We expect wide-spread adoption of the new standards to
incentivize changing processes and procedures across the
industry."
