SABRE WILL INTRODUCE its new graphical view version of Sabre Red Workspace from the third quarter of this year. The new workspace is currently undergoing beta-testing by some 50 agencies globally. Once testing is complete, it will be available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French and Russian.
The updated workspace will make the shopping and booking process simpler, according to the travel technology company.
Martin Cowley, Sabre Travel Network's senior VP EMEA, said: "The graphical view gives agents another option within the Sabre Red Workspace to tailor their workflow based on their needs and preferences.
The new product makes the workflow similar to an online booking-tool and utilises a shopping-cart style of processing bookings. It will also reduce the amount of training time new agents need from six weeks to two, added Cowley.
