Since 1995, Metrica has been responsible for move management and
coordination of freight forwarding of Household Goods (HHGs) and
personal effects for government employees relocating to countries
in Eastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union, and other locations
worldwide. Metrica employs only those transportation/shipping companies
that are GSA Centralized HHG Traffic Management Program (CHAMPS)
contract holders and that are highly experienced in providing door-to-door
(portal-to-portal) shipping and delivery services to project countries.

operations and have long-standing relationships with Metrica.

uses cost comparison. Utilizing the Interagency Traffic Management
System (ITMS) – GSA's Web/CD-ROM-based HHG rate and routing
system – Metrica solicits a minimum of three price quotations
from participants listed on the GSA CHAMPS program's published list
of participating carriers approved for international movements.
Each of these approved carriers has filed published rates for the
traffic lanes for which it provides service.
Services arranged by Metrica include, but are not limited to:
