The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program.

“One of our largest and longest-tenured clients — a Fortune 50 multinational conglomerate that relocates approximately 7,000 employees a year — was implementing a new management system that they wanted us to mirror so that both groups would be in sync throughout the transformation,” said Matt Spinolo, executive vice president of Cartus. “The project involved a great deal of flexibility and innovation, building on the practices we had established over a 30-year relationship, including setting up many new policies and procedures, increasing productivity and building internal expertise around the new system.”

The project boosted measurable outcomes in several key client deliverable areas, including service ratings, temporary housing cycle times, household goods booking rates and billing accuracy.
