It’s 10PM, Do You Know How Much You’re Spending?

In global mobility, the only thing more unpredictable than relocation and assignment costs is realizing too late, that they’ve spiraled out of control.

For HR leaders and mobility professionals, managing relocation budgets isn’t just about tracking expenses. It’s about forecasting accurately, comparing scenarios, and making data-driven decisions that protect the bottom line. But too often, the tools at their disposal are fragmented, reactive, or simply not built for the complexity of global workforce movement.

The Problem: Budget Blindness in Global Mobility

Imagine this: an employee’s international assignment is approved, vendors are engaged, and services are underway. But when finance asks for a breakdown of projected vs. actual costs, they are alarmed with the estimated costs, and the actual numbers are scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and legacy systems. Sound familiar?

Common challenges include:

• Lack of consistent process in getting pre-approval
• Real-time visibility into relocation expenses is lacking
• Inconsistent cost projections across different geographies and vendors
• Limited ability to compare scenarios before making decisions
• Manual reconciliation of budgets vs. actuals

This isn’t just inefficient, it’s risky. Without centralized insights, companies overspend, miss opportunities to optimize, and struggle to justify mobility ROI.
