BAHRAIN-headquartered Sabre Travel Network Middle East (STNME) has won a milestone deal to provide the GetThere corporate booking tool to Abu Dhabi general services company Musanada.
Musanada develops and manages cost-effective and responsive services for the government of Abu Dhabi and this new agreement showcases both Musanada and the government’s desire to adopt innovative technologies, in order to be pioneers and leaders in their respective fields.
GetThere, the world’s leading travel and collaboration platform, will be provided by STNME in partnership with Alshamel Travel.
Daniel Naoumovitch, CEO, STNME said Musanada is one of a growing number of corporations in the Middle East to adopt corporate booking tools as companies look for travel programme savings and efficiencies.
“Being selected by the Abu Dhabi government is a landmark achievement for Sabre and reinforces the strength of our product offering and our expertise in helping companies like Musanada create a more efficient travel programme,” said Naoumovitch.
“There is a big trend towards this in the Middle East and by adopting GetThere, Musanada will have more control over travel expenditures and can more effectively manage travel policies and pre-trip approval processes, resulting in significant cost savings for the Abu Dhabi government.”
Implemented by STNME, the GetThere solution will be tailored for Musanada to meet the specific needs of the government departments it serves, including integration of Musanda’s customer profile management system, tailoring the pre-trip approval process and customising the look and feel of the product to appeal to travellers within each department.
Doran Fanning, travel service manager at Musanada, commented: “We are really excited about this partnership and looking forward to using the Sabre GetThere corporate booking tool being provided to us by Alshamel and STNME. Musanada strives to provide services and solutions that focus on efficiency, quality and customer satisfaction.
“Partnering with such a technologically advanced company like Sabre, and this combination of new service offerings coupled with industry leading products, matches our organisational objectives to meet international best practice and our commitment to deliver excellence throughout our services.”
