Sabre Launches TripCase Corporate to Simplify Travel

Sabre launched TripCase Corporate, a set of integrated corporate features on mobile designed to improve managed travel programs and simplify travel for employees. It’s one of the first elements of TruTrip, Sabre’s new solution that captures travel data across multiple booking sources.

Travelers can use TripCase Corporate to make reservations outside their corporate travel programs and designate when a trip or part of a trip, such as a fight or hotel booking, is for business. The information is then captured and shared with the corporation through an easy-to-read dashboard.

Combining business with personal travel has become a common practice, and Sabre said TripCase Corporate makes it easier for travelers to manage itineraries and make “crossover” bookings using one mobile app.

A better view
TripCase Corporate also will provide a better view of total travel expenditures by capturing and analyzing travel data booked outside corporate travel programs. In addition to the data collection and analytics, corporations can send employees customized messages which help with security, duty of care issues and policy compliance.

TripCase Corporate will be available through Sabre’s online booking tool, GetThere, and its resellers.

Sabre has also created a set of development tools to allow corporations to send multi-GDS and non-GDS trip information such as meetings, ground transportation and restaurant reservations into TripCase through a set of APIs.

These same tools will allow corporations to extract information from the TripCase itinerary for custom reporting capabilities.

Personal travel experience
Meanwhile, Sabre and American Express have developed a “more personal” travel experience for American Express Global Business Travel clients on TripCase.

American Express corporate clients can receive real-time flight updates and live, automatic syncing of itinerary information sent by American Express to the TripCase app.

A reservation is automatically updated in TripCase whether an American Express business traveler booked online or on the phone. Customers also will have click-to-call access to an American Express Business Travel expert via TripCase.

TripCase knows where the traveler is in the trip, so American Express Corporate Cardmembers also receive relevant messages via the app about card benefits and deals, such as airport lounge access and in-flight wi-fi.
