TRX develops productivity tool for Sabre Red Workspace
TRX Inc. developed an extension of its Queue Manager product, a workflow management tool that helps multi-location and/or multi-account travel agencies increase productivity, for the Sabre Red Workspace.
Queue Manager tracks agent productivity and identifies gaps in operational processes. It sweeps GDS queues and serves PNR records to agents through a web-based interface.
QM Xpress is designed to enable agents to quickly retrieve tasks and process PNRs directly from the Sabre Red Workspace, eliminating the need to toggle back and forth between the GDS and the QM tool.
It tracks activity on each record, capturing agent performance and productivity levels, and it automates some of the common GDS commands agents manually issue, helping agencies meet service level agreements and key performance indicator targets.
QM Xpress is expected to be available in the Sabre Red App Centre by the end of the first quarter.
