Sabre is first GDS to power NDC for SAP Concur and the corporate travelers it serves
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."
