# Sabre GDS Travel Integration

> **Definition:** Sabre is a global distribution system (GDS) travel technology platform that connects travel service providers with travel agencies and corporate booking engines globally via real-time APIs.

## In depth

Corporate travel and booking engines integrate GDS interfaces to retrieve flight availability, hotel vacancies, and rental car availability. These integrations require managing high-concurrency API calls, caching regional flight options, and handling booking checkouts securely.

## How ERPStack applies this

We design high-performance booking engines integrating Sabre APIs, utilizing edge caching to display flight options in under 200ms.
