SIRVA Expert Review, Pricing, Alternatives - 2023

Sirva offers a client centric corporate mobility solution. They are one of the few relocation companies to bring together owned resources for relocation, moving, immigration and more, via a footprint that expands across six continents.

‍

SIRVA is one of the leading providers of moving and relocation services, offering mobility solutions to companies of every size. With 77 SIRVA locations and more than 900 franchised locations in 190 countries, SIRVA offers global services supported by localized attention and innovative technology that strikes the right balance of self-service and human support.

Sirva’s Connect+ online platform allows relocating employees to self-manage their move, or get in touch with a relocation consultant as part of their 24/7 support. The Employee Experience part of their Connect+ technology provides an overview of the employee’s relocation plans, timelines, tasks, documents, expenses, and service providers which is viewable on mobile or desktop. 

Your company’s mobility team can access the same platform via the Connect+ HR portal dashboard. From here they can access reports, analytics, real-time updates, and customizations for each relocation. A great value add is the Global Relocation Cost Estimator which gives an instant, downloadable cost estimate report. 

For a solution that gives relocating employees ultimate control, the iMOVE Lump Sum Solution allows you to assign a budget that they can spend via the iMOVE app on services that are important to them. As with the Connect+ platform, iMOVE allows realtor, accommodation, compliance, and support services at the origin and destination of a relocation. iMOVE also offers in-app discounts on Sirva and affiliate services.

Sirva’s Extended Business Traveler offers solutions to companies that regularly send employees on cross-border assignments. This service solves all matters of compliance to avoid legal and tax issues regarding foreign assignments for both the company and employees.

• Individual, group, and commercial moves: Highly customizable relocation services for a single employee, or a whole company move, including the office or facility move.
• VIP Relocation Service: A user-friendly solution for relocating senior and C-suite executives, as well as their families. 
• Global visa and immigration services: Help with ensuring employees maintain compliance with local immigration regulations.
• Home buying and selling: Connect relocating employees to vetted real estate experts
• Property management: For employees who choose to keep their property and need a landlord or overseeing service.‍
• Reporting and analytics: A detailed real-time overview of employee movements via the Connect+ HR Platform.

Some customization can be done to integrate Connect+ with your HRIS.

Sirva has a Global Relocation Cost Estimator which consists of an online form. Submitting a query generates an instant estimate based on stipulated assumptions. For a more accurate cost or integration with your mobility department, you’ll need to speak to an agent.

Sirva is an ideal solution for multinational companies who transfer employees regularly on a temporary and permanent basis. Because their relocation services are tiered, there is an adequate answer to moving anyone from an intern to a CEO.

Onboarding your mobility managers to Connect+ depends on the integrations and dashboard customization you want. From the transferee's perspective, access to Connect+ is instant, or they can download the iMOVE mobile app.

SIRVA, Inc. (formerly known as Allied Worldwide) is privately owned since 2008. The company was formed in 1998 as the result of a merger between Allied Van Lines with North American Van Lines. The corporate name is derived from the Latin word servire, meaning "to serve."
