AMBITION​

Achieving profitable growth

Productivity is the main reason Kyvernitis Travel, a travel management company based in Greece, uses Sabre Red 360, the more intuitive, more customizable access point to the Sabre travel management and booking platform.

“Our profitable growth is dependent on working smarter, not harder,” says George Kyvernitis, co-owner of Kyvernitis Travel. “And when we started looking for a new travel technology platform a few years ago, Sabre stood out as the leader in terms of people, product and conversion process.”

ACTION​

A world of products and more selling opportunities in one platform

For George, the flexibility of the Sabre platform and their commitment to the industry are unmatched. He says Sabre Red 360 makes it easy for anyone, with any experience level, to start searching and booking travel in their first few days using the system: “Sabre Red 360 is clearly easier to learn and use. And the faster we can get someone up and running, the faster they can generate revenue.”

George was impressed with the commitment and coordination by Sabre both locally and globally. In his words, “The conversion went very well due to detailed planning and project management by Sabre. We requested workflow customizations and integrations with our backend accounting systems, and Sabre delivered as promised. They had to figure out some difficult problems, and they were determined and professional every step of the way.”

OUTCOMES​

Smooth conversion paves way to more productivity

​

George says he’s also been pleased with the early returns on the Sabre Red 360 investment: “What used to take us 15 or 20 minutes can now be found and booked in a fraction of that time. We didn’t see anything else in the marketplace that comes close to what Sabre is doing.”  

In the first six months after converting to Sabre Red 360, Kyvernitis Travel achieved more productivity – booking speed improved by 25 percent and air, land and hotel shopping options have increased by 40 percent. “Sabre is never standing still,” says George. “They’re constantly looking to add new features and functionality to Sabre Red 360. They ask us about our experience and our needs, and then they act accordingly. Their growth mindset is why we partnered with them.”
