Sabre introduces new hotel negotiated rate audit tools

Published: 24 Jun 2009

Sabre Travel Network has introduced a new service that provides travel management companies and corporations assurance that negotiated rates are properly available for shopping and booking in the Sabre GDS.

The new service, called Rate Assured Negotiated Rate Auditing, allows corporations and agencies to:

  • Ensure that negotiated rates at individual properties are loaded and bookable;
  • Compare negotiated rates with BAR (best available rate) on a hotel-by-hotel basis;
  • Automatically send notification emails to suppliers when correct negotiated rates are not available in the GDS;
  • Provide interested parties with a copy of the actual hotel availability display, showing the status of rates present or not;
  • Calculate estimated losses from rate differences, which can then be used in future negotiations; and
  • Build compliance reports.
  • The Rate Auditing service builds upon Sabre’s already existing Rate Assured Hotel Certification programme, which provides agencies with assurance that they have access to the lowest publicly available unrestricted rates through the Sabre global distribution system.
