As revenue and pricing optimization take center stage today at STX Singapore, Sabre Corporation announced the results of a recent study evaluating its next generation Revenue Optimizer solution. PODS Research LLC (PRL), the premier consulting partnership renowned for its study of revenue management systems and practices, evaluated Revenue Optimizer and noted the new solution’s “much improved architecture, speed and stability” compared to previous versions. PRL consultants also found the underlying models to be “theoretically sound and based on solid science” and “struggled to find major modeling or other weaknesses.” Adding to PRL’s findings, long-standing Sabre partners Aegean Airlines, Aerolíneas Argentinas and Ethiopian Airlines have endorsed Revenue Optimizer following their successful evaluation and initial experiences with the solution.
“We are thrilled to have this third-party assessment of our next generation revenue management product,” said Dave Shirk, Sabre President of Travel Solutions. “It’s a confirmation that the innovations we’re building into Revenue Optimizer provide real-world value to our customers. We received stellar marks for its intuitive user interface, customer choice modeling and interoperability with our existing products – all benefits we’ve been very deliberate about pursuing, and we look forward to adding more refinements in the future.”
“We’ve been using Sabre revenue management for more than 10 years, so moving to Revenue Optimizer was a logical next step for us in a long-standing partnership,” said Roland Jaggi, Director of Revenue Management at Aegean Airlines. “Our analysts love what they’ve seen. From a user interface and interaction standpoint, Revenue Optimizer is bringing revenue management to the 21st century and is further building on its leading position in the market.”
