Volare Systems, Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF193-CSO1

Description

Would you be able to focus on your mission if you worked 45-90 days without getting paid, or waited 30+ days for your family's health insurance to come through? That's what onboarding airmen deal with now because of systems that don't talk to each other and manual processes. The 192D Wing uses legacy systems and paper forms for onboarding, separations, retirements, on/off orders, and more. This approach requires manual form fill by airmen, manual transport of that form, and manual data entry of that form. The 192D Wing estimates it spends 40% of its time and $3.1M per year extra to use today's systems and processes. That's time and money that could be spent getting airmen mission ready instead. Volare Systems proposes incrementally building web form overlays for legacy systems and paper forms to use modern front ends that run fast and look great on every device. We will create a form builder to migrate from paper forms and a workflow engine to route the newly collected data to the right systems and people, get their approvals and signatures, send out notifications to other systems and people, and more.
