Vibe extends partnership with Sabre
Travel agencies using travel technology provider Vibe can book and manage NDC offers through the firm’s extended partnership with US software giant Sabre.
The collaboration bolsters Vibe’s customers’ access to the SabreMosaicTM travel marketplace, meaning they can search, sell and service travellers through a single connection.
Sabre has 38 NDC airlines live on its marketplace, some of which is unavailable through other channels. It also offers agents access to two million accommodation options and fares from 150 low-cost carriers.
The extended multi-year agreement with Sabre will also see Vibe adopt the MultiTicket solution, which identifies the lowest fare by combining two one-way flights into separate tickets when this results in a better price. Rather than running multiple queries, the platform evaluates return and one-way options in a single request, enabling agencies to offer tailored, cost-effective itineraries.
“Sabre’s collaboration with Vibe has been made possible through our Developer Partner Network, which continues to demonstrate its value across regions,” said Ian Molanphy, Sabre’s head of partnerships sales for EMEA.
“By enabling seamless integration with partners like Vibe, we make it easier for agencies to access more content, streamline their operations, and deliver greater value to travellers.”
Martin Eade, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Vibe, said: “At Vibe, our platform exists to make selling travel easier for our customers.
“This agreement brings NDC, low-cost carriers and accommodation into a single workflow so agents can search, sell and service in one place.
“They spend less time switching systems, reduce handling costs and present more relevant offers to travellers.
“MultiTicket strengthens this by finding lower fares in one search when two one-way tickets beat a return, reducing queries and manual steps while giving our clients sharper pricing at the point of sale.”
