The Sabre GDS API Configuration & Setup process links your Sabre account with QuoteCloud, allowing you to automatically import booking data and generate professional travel itineraries. This guide explains the setup steps to complete the integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sabre GDS API integration with QuoteCloud?

The Sabre GDS API integration connects your Sabre account to QuoteCloud so booking and PNR data are automatically imported and used to generate professional travel itineraries inside QuoteCloud. This automation removes manual entry, speeds itinerary creation, and keeps documents consistent across clients.

For teams using QuoteCloud as sales quoting software or sales proposal software, the integration streamlines travel proposals and itinerary delivery by populating QuoteCloud documents directly from Sabre bookings.

Who should enable the Sabre integration?

Travel agencies, tour operators, corporate travel teams, and any organisation that uses Sabre for bookings and QuoteCloud for document generation should enable the integration. It’s most valuable for teams that need to convert bookings into branded itineraries, quotes, or proposals quickly and accurately.

Enabling Sabre helps reduce repetitive manual work, improves accuracy, and accelerates turnaround when producing quote software or proposal software outputs for clients.

How do I install Sabre GDS in QuoteCloud?

Open QuoteCloud’s Integration Settings and choose the Sabre GDS option, or follow the in-app documentation titled “Install Sabre GDS in QuoteCloud.” The setup typically asks you to provide your Sabre credentials (API keys/client credentials), authorize QuoteCloud to access booking data, and enable automatic import options.

After connecting, test the connection, map any required fields if prompted, and enable automatic itinerary creation. If you need step-by-step help, consult QuoteCloud’s integration guide inside the app or contact support for guided setup.

What happens after I configure the Sabre GDS API?

Once configured, QuoteCloud will automatically import booking details from Sabre and generate itinerary documents in your account. Imported bookings populate itinerary templates so agents can produce client-ready travel documents without retyping reservation data.

This process reduces manual input, ensures consistent branding and formatting, and integrates travel itineraries into your broader QuoteCloud workflow for quoting and proposals.

Can I manually enter or edit an itinerary when Sabre is connected?

Yes. Even with Sabre connected, you retain full control to manually add or edit itinerary details in QuoteCloud documents. Imported data can be customised—add notes, change descriptions, update pricing, or correct client information to suit your needs.

This flexibility ensures your output remains accurate and tailored while still benefiting from automation provided by the Sabre import.

What booking details are imported from Sabre into QuoteCloud?

QuoteCloud typically imports core booking information from Sabre such as passenger names, PNR/record locator, flight segments (airlines, flight numbers, times, classes), hotel and car reservations, dates, and basic fare information. The exact fields depend on your Sabre setup and API permissions.

If you need additional data mapped into your itinerary templates, review field-mapping options during setup or contact QuoteCloud support to confirm which Sabre elements are available for import.

Is the Sabre integration secure and how is authentication handled?

QuoteCloud connects to Sabre using the API credentials and authentication methods required by Sabre (for example client credentials or tokens). Connections are made over secure channels and follow standard API security practices to protect booking data during transfer.

For enterprise environments, review your organisation’s security policies and QuoteCloud’s documentation on credentials management and data handling to ensure compliance. If you have specific security requirements, reach out to QuoteCloud support for guidance on secure deployment.

Will imported itineraries sync with TravelDocs or other QuoteCloud integrations like QuickBooks?

Yes — itineraries imported into QuoteCloud from Sabre are available to other QuoteCloud features and connected apps. For example, TravelDocs (the mobile itinerary app that syncs with QuoteCloud) will show the latest itinerary documents so clients can access trip details on mobile devices.

Other integrations, such as QuickBooks Online, handle accounting and invoicing workflows rather than booking data. You can combine QuoteCloud’s Sabre import with your accounting integrations (e.g., QuickBooks) and your sales proposal software workflows to deliver complete proposals, invoices, and client itineraries.
