Following on from the announcement of a new 10 year partnership with Google, Sabre is entering 2020 with yet another tech advancement announcement – a collaboration with Accor to create the first unified technology platform for the global hospitality industry.
Touted as the first unified central reservation (CR) and property management (PM) platform for the global hospitality industry, Accor and Sabre intend to develop a new full service property management capability and enrich Sabre’s existing central reservation and limited service property management systems. These capabilities will combine within a new unified cloud-native, highly-flexible platform that will be built for and available to hoteliers across all property classes and geographic regions.
In this context, Accor would be Sabre’s newest enterprise hospitality customer, adopting Sabre’s industry-leading SynXis Central Reservation system and, ultimately, the new global technology platform for all its hospitality brands and geographies. The initiative underscores Accor’s long-term strategy and global ambition to invest in technological innovations to assure operational excellence, efficiency, savings and agility to their owners.
“Sabre shares our vision of a future where hoteliers are able to offer guests an unforgettable, personalised experience that goes beyond simply being a place or service,” said Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO for Accor. “Partners like Sabre are essential to helping us effectively leverage existing and new technology to further accelerate our net supply growth and lower costs for our hotel owners as well as for the Group.”
