  • Paperless approval routing for both Travel Authorization and Travel Reimbursements – No more routing forms for signature!
  • Electronic submission of Travel Reimbursements, uploading supporting documentation and receipts
  • Automated email messages, communicating review, approval and submission information to travelers and Approving Officials
  • Review capability for submitted Travel Authorization and Reimbursement requests, allowing the traveler to check on the status of their request and where it is in the approval process
  • One trip number assigned, creating a correlation between the Travel Authorization and the Travel Reimbursement
