Yahoo Finance Sabre (SABR) Inks an Agreement With Capillary Technologies
Sabre Corporation SABR recently signed an agreement with Singapore-based Capillary Technologies to integrate the Capillary loyalty management solution into its airlines and hoteliers' platforms.
The Capillary loyalty management solution will be integrated with SabreSonic, Customer Insights, Payment and Dynamic Rewards solutions. Through this deal, Sabre will be able to perform real-time analytics and provide valuable insights from customer loyalty data. This will broaden its end-to-end loyalty management opportunities while increasing the chances of its airlines' and hoteliers' segment revenue growth.
On the other hand, the Capillary hospitality platform will be incorporated with Sabre Hospitality SynXis applications, which include Central Reservations, Property Hub, Voice Agent and Booking Engine. The current deal is likely to expand Sabre’s customer share and boost both of its Hospitality and Travel Solutions segment revenues.
Sabre boosted its Hospitality Solutions portfolio through 2022’s acquisition of Florida-based Nuvola — a single-destination cloud-based platform providing service optimization software to the hospitality industry. The buyout enhanced SABR’s Hospitality Solutions segment’s retailing and operations portfolio while ensuring that hotel customers get differentiated experiences and seamless guest care.
