Contributing Experts
Cartus offers flexible, varied, and customizable relocation solutions based on the moving employee's priorities. Their corporate relocation service includes domestic and international transfers, as well as a comprehensive dashboard with real-time and predictive relocation tracking.
- Cartus does not own or hold interest in a transportation company and therefore assesses and picks suppliers based on performance.
- Their Benefits Builder feature allows employees to choose the relocation services they most want, which means you don’t pay for an experience that didn’t benefit them.
- Because Casrtus’ business model is so customizable, they can be as involved in your relocation program as you need them to be.
- User reviews cite Cartus’ claims process as an ongoing issue, in that reimbursements can take months to reach the employee.
- Cartus uses various third-party service providers for a move, but their process does at times allow communication between service providers to fall short.
What's Inside
Cartus offers domestic and international corporate relocation services based on their data-driven business model. To achieve their relocation solutions, Cartus harnesses technology to predict, analyze and report.
Their MovePro360 offers a comprehensive client dashboard with employee and provider-level analytics. From here a relocation manager can gain an overview of every current relocation, as well as granular feedback including live sentiment scores and notifications when a move is at risk.
The platform uses business logic to monitor whether a move is on or off track based on a vast database, predictive analytics, and real-time reporting.
MoverPro360 is accessible via Cartusonline (for desktop) and Cartusmobile (for smartphones) for user accessibility on the go. The platform is user-friendly, simple, and Cloud- as well as API-based to integrate with your existing HRMS.
Benefits Builder, which is integrated into MovePro360 is Cartus’ unique relocation customization tool. It works on a points or currency-based budget and parameters set by the client. The employee is free to spend their set budget as they best see fit within the set supplier database. Cartus calls this model “Freedom within a framework”.
Benefits Builder lets the employee prioritize the relocation services that are most important to them instead of working within a package predetermined by what most people want. The client, in turn, can choose whether they want to allow employees complete freedom or to choose from pre-set models based on the company’s budget and preferences.
