Relocation Management Companies (RMCs) provide value in many ways. From an operational standpoint, they help streamline the relocation process, answer questions for employees, or help consolidate and report on relocation expenses. But they also provide strategic value and advice for mobility teams. Often RMCs will provide cost projections or cost comparisons to help advise their clients on the expected investment level and cost options.
What are the challenges RMCs face when it comes to providing accurate cost projections?
This type of strategic advising isn’t easy though. RMCs can face a lot of challenges when running cost projections.
- Access to the right tools & data: Hard-to-use technologies can drag down your team’s efficiency, and hard-to-find or outdated data may compromise the accuracy of your estimates.
- Complex programs & policies: Managing multiple clients and their many distinct policies can become a logistical nightmare without the right tools in place.
- Lack of flexibility: Cost projections tools can be difficult to configure to client policies, and standardized output templates often fail to address the nuances of each client’s policy.
These challenges make it difficult for RMCs to maintain the high standards of precision and responsiveness that clients expect from their mobility advisors.
