The Logistics Tool Suite (LTS), and specifically for DLA Distribution the Tracker Lite application, is a Value-Added Intermediary (VAI) in the transportation billing process that allows DLA and other organizations to improve transportation expenditures stewardship and provide the necessary functionality required for the correct citation of TACs.
