process—at any time of day, anywhere in the world. Today
we are the most trusted guide in the industry, working on
behalf of a remarkably diverse client base with the most
extensive services and global reach of any provider.
We create total mobility solutions that seamlessly
combine the global management of your program with
services that are delivered directly from local Cartus
offices around the world. Our uniform, proven technology

employee satisfaction, cost, and efficiency—and we
deliver. Our unparalleled experience and capabilities
give us a unique ability to help you write the next
chapter of your organization’s story.
Every day holds a thousand stories. Our mission is to give each a happy ending.
Connecting with a passion.Some of our clients move a select number of employees each year, while others move hundreds. for each of those employees, the only story that matters is their own. and for our clients, every move is part of a much larger story that will affect the future of their organization.

Dedicated guidance—directly deliveredAs part of your dedicated Cartus team, we assign a highly
trained, compassionate Consultant to serve as your
employee’s day-to-day partner. He or she will seamlessly
coordinate all aspects of the relocation experience,
drawing on the expertise and resources of Cartus and
delivering them personally.
Truly earning the title of Consultants, they begin by
assessing your employee’s needs and thoroughly
explaining all authorized benefits. From there, they guide
the employee through each step in the process, such
as shipping household goods, selling the employee’s
current home, or scheduling intercultural training. Most
importantly, Cartus Consultants always keep in sharp
focus the challenges and stresses that face transferring
employees and their families—managing the multiple
issues that compete for attention, so that family transitions
are easier, allowing the employee’s focus to remain on the
demands of the new position.
CartusOnline—simplicity and efficiency for your employeesCartusOnline consolidates every element of your
employee’s relocation process into a personalized Web
portal that is available 24/7. Functioning as a simple, one-
stop tool for monitoring, managing, and taking action
during the relocation experience, CartusOnline puts the
most critical items in a simple, actionable format, right on
your employee’s home page.
Our record of service excellence—demonstrating our successDelivering a significant return on your relocation
investment begins with systematic quality assurance.
The Cartus approach to service excellence combines Six
Sigma processes with an exceptionally high standard for
success: We measure ourselves by the consistency with
which our clients and their employees indicate that Cartus
“couldn’t have performed better.” And an extremely high
percentage of those we serve do describe us this way,
confirming the excellence of our hands-on approach to
relocation guidance.
Thanks to their Cartus Consultant, David and his family had access to the intercultural and language training they needed for their transition to Germany. Their Consultant also found Sara the perfect school. So when David was on a business trip to South America, the Cartus Consultant made sure the school was ready for Sara’s arrival, and then called David to let him know his daughter’s first day had started well.
We exist to serve.at Cartus, we come to work every day to help you succeed, fulfilling your needs with passion and precision, and earning the trust of everyone whose lives we touch. We believe that we are defined by our service, so we always look at ourselves through your eyes and through those of your relocating employees. We provide end-to-end guidance, driven by a person-to-person commitment and an unwavering respect for the needs of others.

three largest providers combined, we have unique and

industry data, comparisons, and benchmarks. Once we

implements it quickly on sound footing. As your needs
change, we provide ongoing support to ensure that your

As our client’s international operations increased, so did the complexity of their relocation needs. By coordinating all elements—from a tiered benefit policy to expanded reporting and international compensation— we made sure their program evolved alongside their business growth.
