The Web-based Defense Personal Property System is a one-stop source for managing personal property moves. 

The system will provide DoD families with 24-hour access to personal property shipment information throughout the moving process. 

Key Improvements
- shipments awarded based on best value, not low cost
- full replacement value is the standard for lost or damaged items
- electronic claims filing through DPS available all day, every day
- direct communication between DoD families and servicing transportation service provider
- instructive, on-demand, Web-based personal property counseling 

Increased service member involvement with the process
- pack and pickup dates are negotiated between the member and TSP
- service member requests delivery directly with the TSP
- service member and TSP can settle small claims using "quick claim" option
- base-level traffic management offices continue to be initial customer interface 

Best value and best service
- TSPs are ranked by their Best Value Score
- the BVS is the determining factor in TSP share of future DoD business
- the BVS is comprised of 3 elements:
-- 50 percent customer satisfaction survey results
-- 20 percent claims score based on TSP timeliness and cost of claim
-- 30 percent rate score for filing a competitive rate
- BVS is calculated six times per year on a rolling one year basis
- customer survey has an impact on the BVS for one year
