Fortune 500 Manufacturer Transforms Relocation Services and Saves $3.45M Annually

Overview
A global manufacturing enterprise operating in 50+ countries was relying on an outdated relocation model. Their legacy relocation provider delivered disappointing employee experience, charged high administrative and reimbursement fees, lacked modern technology, and provided limited data visibility. The result was a costly, reactive program that drained HR, Finance, and Global Mobility resources.
The company switched to Benivo’s Relocation Services and gained full access to Benivo Mobility Tech at no additional cost. All activity, from initiation to cost estimates, document generation, subcontracting a global supply chain via Benivo, payments, and compensation accumulation, moved onto one unified platform.
The entire relocation scope previously managed by a legacy Relocation Services Provider transitioned to Benivo’s consultant-led model powered by a global supply chain network and integrated technology. The results: 37% increase in employee experience, 70% reduction in immigration -related escalations, and $3.45 million in overall savings.
The Challenge: An Expensive, Low-Tech, Underperforming Model
The organization struggled with costly, fragmented service delivery and an outdated operational model. Core issues included:
- Expensive administrative fees for expense reimbursements
- Underperforming relocation provider and disappointing employee experience

- Lack of data to support forecasting, reporting, or strategic decision-making
