Automated Transportation Payments

Abstract

The 1997 Quadrennial Defense Review directed DoD to revolutionize its business practices. As a result, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) issued Management Reform Memorandum No. 15, "Reengineering Defense Transportation Documentation and Financial Processes-Prototype Implementation." The reform memorandum required DoD to reengineer and streamline untimely, paper-based, and labor-intensive commercial transportation documentation, billing, collection, and payment processes. To meet the reengineering goals, DoD announced on March 31, 1999, a transition to the U.S. Bank PowerTrack service for payment of freight transportation charges. PowerTrack, an online freight payment and transaction tracking system, is the cornerstone of the DoD effort to reengineer transportation payment and accounting processes. Before the transition to PowerTrack, DoD annually processed approximately 1.25 million transportation freight payments totaling approximately $1 billion.
