• Case Study
• The problem
• A Project Manager who lives over 400 miles away
  and who is travelling extensively with a 60 to 70
  hour working week came to me. His company had
  transferred its expenses system to a web based
  data entry form with a complex set of screens to
  complete.Result A constant backlog of expenses
  of over a 1000 over three months
• The Solution
• PTMVA took on the task, learning the system and
  working quickly through the procedures. Receipts
  were scanned and emailed to me for data entry. I
  setup a mileage log to carry around in his car to
  stop those memory lapses.
• The Result
• Expenses are in the bank monthly
• Reduced bank charges
• Reduced Stress
