How to choose global mobility & relocation software

6 criteria · Requirements by company size · 5 red flags

Mobility is an exercise in coordination across HR, finance, tax, immigration providers and relocation suppliers. Choose the product that gives each party the data they need without re-entry.

Test it with a real assignment from approval to closeout.

  1. Policy and benefit configuration

    Moves differ by tier, destination and assignment type, and ad hoc exceptions are costly.

  2. Cost estimation and budget tracking

    Finance needs forecast and actual cost per move, not totals after the fact.

  3. Tax-sensitive data and reporting

    Employer reimbursements of moving expenses have had specific tax treatment. IRS guidance covered tax years 2018 through 2025 for nonmilitary employees, and current-year treatment should be confirmed with your tax adviser.

  4. Location and day tracking

    Tests such as the 330-day physical presence rule depend on days in a place.

  5. Supplier management

    Movers, temporary housing and destination service providers need coordinated requests and invoicing.

  6. Assignee experience

    Employees under stress need status, benefits and tasks in one place.

Requirements by company size

  • Enterprises

    • Multi-country policy and currency support
    • Assignment cost projection and shadow payroll data
    • Immigration and tax provider integration
    • Analytics and API access

    Watch out for

    • Data privacy across jurisdictions
    • Supplier network lock-in
    • Long configuration times for complex policies

Red flags

  • The vendor cannot show estimated versus actual cost for a single move.
  • Tax treatment is described as automatic with no named rules source or review process.
  • Suppliers can only be those in the vendor's own network, with no option to use your own.
  • Day tracking relies on a spreadsheet upload only.
  • Raw data cannot be exported.
