Moving one employee is a transaction. Moving ten employees a year is a program. HR teams need a relocation partner who keeps pricing consistent, invoices the company directly, and handles the logistics without creating more work for the people team.
A one-off mover treats each employee move as a new job. A program partner knows your policy, your standards, and your billing structure before the first move starts.
Your employees notice when the move goes badly.
A new hire accepting an offer that includes relocation is extending trust to the company. A poor moving experience in the first two weeks of a new role affects retention, satisfaction, and whether that person tells the next candidate what to expect. When HR manages the mover, the mover's performance reflects on HR.
Royal Moving & Storage works with HR teams and relocation coordinators across eight markets on corporate move programs. We set consistent pricing by tier, invoice the company directly, assign a dedicated account coordinator, and operate under USDOT #3617767 on every move in the program. The goal is a relocation experience that the employee barely notices because everything went to plan.
A consumer mover and a corporate relocation partner are not the same thing. Here is what changes when the buyer is HR rather than the employee.
Consistent, tiered pricing
Each relocation budget tier gets a consistent price. The employee relocating from Austin and the one moving from San Jose do not get different quotes based on who called and when.
Centralized invoicing
The company is billed, not the employee. Invoices go to accounts payable in your preferred format, with the purchase order and cost centre your finance team needs.
Dedicated account coordinator
One person owns the relationship. HR contacts the same coordinator for every move in the program, not a general booking line that does not know the company's policy.
Fast scheduling to match offer timelines
An offer letter has a start date. The move needs to happen before it, often within two to four weeks of acceptance. A program partner schedules to the offer, not to the next available slot.
Employee experience that reflects well on HR
The employee who shows up on day one having had a smooth, professional move starts with a better impression of the company. The one who spent two weeks on hold with the mover does not.
We provide all five as standard
Our corporate program includes consistent pricing, company invoicing, a dedicated coordinator, fast scheduling, and a service standard built for the employee's first impression.
Four steps to set up a program, and from then on HR does not start from scratch for every new relocation.
01
Program consultation
We meet with HR to understand the relocation policy: tier levels, what is covered, typical volume, markets, and invoicing requirements.
02
Pricing agreed by tier
Consistent prices set per tier before the program starts. HR knows what each level of relocation will cost, which makes policy administration straightforward.
03
Coordinator assigned
One named contact owns every move in the program. HR sends the offer details. The coordinator handles everything from scheduling to completion without chasing the team for information already on file.
04
Move completed, invoice to AP
Employee moved, invoice sent to accounts payable with the correct coding. HR gets a confirmation and the move is closed out without further administration.
Corporate relocations often involve long-distance moves, short-term storage, and support for employees relocating individually. Add what the program requires.
We run corporate relocation programs across the West Coast and in Texas. For companies whose employees relocate between our markets, one program covers the moves at both ends.
1. Can you invoice the company directly rather than the employee?
Yes, and that is the default for corporate programs. Invoices go to accounts payable, not to the employee. We include whatever purchase order number, cost centre, or billing reference your finance team requires. The employee does not need to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement.
2. Do you handle both local and long-distance employee relocations?
Yes. The program covers both. A new hire moving within the same city and a senior hire relocating from a different state are handled under the same program, with pricing set by tier rather than by geography. Long-distance moves operate under USDOT #3617767 with a delivery window aligned to the offer start date.
3. What is your typical turnaround from offer acceptance to move completion?
Most moves are completed within two to four weeks of the offer being accepted, depending on the origin, the destination, and how packed the employee is when we schedule. For priority start dates we can often work faster. The program coordinator works from the start date backward when scheduling, not from the next available slot forward.
4. How is a corporate relocation different from an employee relocation?
A single employee relocation is an individual move, quoted on its own terms. Corporate relocation is a program: a standing arrangement with HR, pre-agreed pricing by tier, centralized billing, and a dedicated account coordinator who manages all moves in the program. If you are an HR team with more than a few relocations per year, the program structure reduces administrative overhead significantly.
5. Can you handle multiple employees relocating in the same month?
Yes. That is one of the key advantages of the program structure. When HR sends multiple relocations in the same period, the account coordinator manages scheduling across all of them in parallel. There is no bottleneck of each move requiring a fresh discovery call. We discuss expected volume at the program setup stage so we can plan crew availability accordingly.
