Use Case

Localyze helps People/HR and Global Mobility teams plan, manage, and support employee cross‑border moves in one place. Core use cases include end‑to‑end immigration and visa applications, residence/work permit renewals, destination and settling‑in services, and short‑term mobility such as business trips and compliant workations. Teams use the platform to centralize cases, automate status updates, run compliance risk assessments, manage allowances and budgets, and streamline employee experience with guided checklists, in‑app communication, and marketplace services. It reduces manual work and errors via HRIS integrations, provides real‑time visibility into timelines and tasks, and tracks work‑abroad days for compliance.

Enable HR/People and Global Mobility teams to synchronize employee data between their HRIS and Localyze when opening relocation, visa, or work-abroad cases. Reduce manual data entry by auto-filling case creation with HRIS data, and automatically push critical immigration documents and key dates back into the HRIS for compliance and audit readiness (e.g., visa documentation, residence permits, health insurance papers, visa expiration tracking). Fit Localyze into existing HR tech stacks across SMB to enterprise environments to streamline cross-border moves and stakeholder visibility.

Target Audience

People/HR and Global Mobility teams at organizations hiring or relocating internationally, from startups (special rates <50 employees) to mid-market and enterprise. Suitable for distributed, remote/hybrid companies and high-growth firms managing frequent cross-border moves across Europe, the US, and beyond.
