VCU Procurement Services

Fostering a community of financial advocacy at VCU!

In February, we announced VCU’s collaboration with America To Go (ATG) to streamline catering orders, improve compliance, and strengthen visibility into university catering spend. Since then, Procurement Services has been working closely with ATG to prepare the campus community for a smooth transition to the new RealSource e‑catalog.

We are now ready to begin the next phase of implementation- training sessions for departments and event planners across campus.

Upcoming Training Opportunities

To support users as they begin placing orders through the ATG platform, we will offer virtual training sessions. Each session will include a live demonstration, Q&A segment, and guidance on navigating the ordering process.

What You’ll Learn

During these sessions, the following topics will be covered:

  • Selecting caterers and building compliant orders

Whether you coordinate events regularly or only occasionally, this training will help ensure a smooth and compliant ordering experience.

Important: Beginning May 27th, all applicable university catering orders should be placed through ATG in RealSource. Thank you for your engagement as we transition to this new catering platform. If you have questions, please contact Justin Carrico at [email protected].
