Sabre Hospitality Solutions is to develop and implement a global digital platform to power the e-commerce business for all Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group brands.

The aim is to improve online brand performance and drive “significant” incremental revenue via direct channels.

The agreement is one step in a multi-phased business transformation enabled by technology to position the hotelier for long-term growth and improved performance.

Carlson Rezidor will deploy Sabre’s digital platform to about 1,400 existing hotels and expand that to new properties over the next five years.

The brands involved include Quorvus Collection, Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson and Country Inns & Suites By Carlson.

The hotel company’s chief IT officer Kevin Carl said: “We continually strive to improve performance and enhance our guests’ experience through technology, and we are committed to investing in technology to enable that transformation.

“Sabre’s proven ability as an industry innovator to support transformation for global brands like ours and to consistently deliver world-class, innovative solutions makes them the right partner for this important initiative.”

Sabre Hospitality Solutions president Alex Alt added: “Sabre’s ability to quickly deploy globally-scalable solutions is one of many critical capabilities we deliver to customers like Carlson Rezidor.

“Relying on our deep-rooted culture of innovation, aggressive technology investments and unrivaled team of experts, we are proud to be one of the only technology providers able to rapidly implement solutions that meet the needs of the largest, most complex hospitality brands in the world.”
