Is Your Global Mobility Program Agile?
Being prepared for the challenges ahead
The relocation ecosystem is in a period of evolution. More accurately, it’s in a state of disruption. People are rightly demanding that the traditional service models provide better logistical and technological solutions to not only offer a better client experience, but also mitigate, or otherwise justify, increasing costs. Excuses abound as to the reasons for the recent trend of rising relocation costs—a fiercely competitive labor market, shortage of specialized workers, etc.—you’ve heard it all. However, one thing is clear:
The macroeconomic effects of the current market imbalance has taken away your leverage as a procurer of relocation services.
The relocation industry has many challenges that need to be resolved and, unfortunately, the solutions are likely to still result in increased costs.
With that in mind, how do you mitigate your costs when the challenges ahead are unclear?
Taking Back Control of Your ChoiceS
Moving is still fundamentally the same as it was decades ago, but the procurement options are many. So-called “disruptors” are everywhere pitching new ways to optimize procurement services and forecast supply-and-demand trends; new ways to move; new platforms and apps to find service offerings; etc..
We know that with so many people talking in your ear about “the next big thing” that it can get a little noisy at times. It can be overwhelming to try to figure out the right combination of technical and logistical support that your program needs; especially when it’s so complicated to simply get a move procured. You have to make difficult choices that are in the best interest of your company and the bottom line, which makes the landscape extremely difficult to navigate.
What you need is information that will help you to make these decisions. Historically, you may have relied on your relationship with your key vendors to influence your company’s mobility program, but we’re here to warn you, that relationship may be costing you money!
reinforcing relationshipS THROUGH TRANSPARENCY
Trust is important in every business relationship. We’ve seen first-hand how seemingly “on the up-and-up” business relationships and supplier business models ultimately impact mobility programs, costing corporate clients like you millions every year. The amount of bureaucracy between your transferee and the van operator who actually moves them is at an all time high.
That’s why you need someone looking out for you that is truly independent. We don’t push you to use a “preferred service provider” (like RMCs, auditors, or moving companies) who subscribes to our product. In fact, if we did that, our duty to you would be compromised.
Instead, our products and services are focused on bringing you more transparency. We can give you the information you need to see the big picture—based on unbiased, independently verified information. Our solutions are backed by the real service providers who show up at your transferee’s home on the day of their move.
