Program Offices and Acquisition Centers throughout the government must manage contractors and their needs to complete their work. Travel is usually an unescapable necessity for many programs and their labor force. While the government has a set system to maintain travel for government personnel (DTS), the same is not true for their contractor workforce. This becomes a major problem for programs that have products and enterprise level solutions to support, requiring extensive contractor travel.
Some of the issues that arise are:
Poorly defined approval process for reimbursed travel
Travel without cost estimates
Travel that ends without trip reports
Miscommunications on travel planning, resulting in refunds and reticketing
Many hours of lost productivity due to poor planning
Many Program Offices have contract vehicles that support large numbers of contractors, all of which travel and work with the government counterparts on individual levels to plan, approve and execute travel. Often, this process is managed through email and spreadsheets by various people in both contracting and the program office. As a result, a fractured workflow develops that isolates information to only those in direct contact with the contractors, like CORs and PMs. More so, the process forces numerous data calls for anyone wishing to produce travel reports.

Developed by AVATAR Computing, our solution provides a secure web environment that is dedicated to the approval workflow for a single program or contract vehicle.
