Travel Management System
Queensland Chief Procurement Office’s Travel Management Unit has developed a streamlined Queensland Government specific Travel Management System (TMS) that will greatly assist travellers and travel booking officers in arranging work-related travel bookings.
The Travel Management System takes the worry our of adhering to policy as all domestic and international travel policies are built into the system and are updated centrally to ensure that they are the most up to date at the time of booking.
The Travel Management System is an online paperless process which accesses whole-of-Government arrangements such as:
- domestic air travel
- international air travel
- car hire
- accommodation
The TMS will also manage:
- travel policy compliance
- travel approvals
- travel entitlements and acquittals
- expense reconciliation
To complement these, the Travel Management System provides an extensive suite of travel management reports which will allow individual agencies access to a wide range of travel data not previously available.
The Travel Management System will provide the State Government with substantial savings in the first five years of operation and reduce much of the administrative detail that is now associated with travel management.
Currently, the Travel Management System is nearing the end of the pilot phase which is being conducted in the Department of Public Works. Following this pilot phase the Travel Management System will be rolled out to other state government agencies.
