Sabre Holdings has acquired Iceland-based Calidris, a revenue integrity and business intelligence solutions company.

Calidris will become part of Sabre Airline Solutions.

Calidris’s revenue integrity, business intelligence and data capabilities will become part of Sabre’s integrated suite of airline products.

“The enhanced revenue integrity solution allows quick and easy access to business data making it an integral part of successful revenue planning and revenue generation not available today. It also gives airlines a more responsive, smarter, well-tuned and fluid customer sales and service environment,” stated Sabre.

TPI

Airlines are relying on revenue integrity principles to stem revenue leakage. This way the airlines can yield more revenue improvements and cost reductions.

According to Calidris, the transformation to a lean and agile organisation must be carefully planned and supported by effective solutions. Underlying lean techniques are four principles:

· The elimination of waste, including revenue leakages
· The control of variability
· Flexibility
· The full utilisation of human talent

The company is helping airlines to achieve these goals by applying Total Profit Integrity (TPI), a methodology based on the success of revenue integrity.
