Graebel Companies, Inc., a global leader in workforce mobility and managed services, today announced the launch of Switch, a new AI-powered virtual relocation assistant integrated into Graebel CitySwitcher, its relocation guidance platform for self-managed moves. The launch follows a recent talent management technology implementation award win for CitySwitcher.
Graebel supports more self-managed moves than any other provider, bringing unmatched experience to challenges employees face when navigating relocation independently. As more employees receive lump-sum benefits, cash allowances, or manage portions of their relocation themselves, need for accessible, personalized guidance continues to grow. Switch expands CitySwitcher by helping employees navigate relocation decisions with greater confidence, while providing destination insights and resources tailored to their needs.
Switch combines Graebel's global mobility expertise, relocation data, and AI to deliver industry-leading capabilities designed to solve real challenges employees face during self-managed moves. For example, employees relocating to unfamiliar city often struggle to determine which neighborhoods best fit their needs and lifestyle, creating uncertainty that can delay important relocation decisions. Switch's neighborhood-matching capability provides personalized recommendations to help employees identify promising areas to explore, giving them greater clarity and confidence.
"For the last several years, Graebel has been highly invested in its technology, including CitySwitcher," said Joey Ham, Global Head of Product at Graebel. "Switch is the latest enhancement to the CitySwitcher platform, combining AI-powered technology with Graebel's relocation expertise to simplify the relocation experience and ultimately employee outcomes for our clients."
Designed specifically for relocation, Switch delivers tailored guidance that helps employees evaluate options and turn uncertainty into action with practical recommendations that keep moves progressing. Switch delivers answers to relocation questions in real time without searching across multiple sources, guidance tailored to destinations and personal circumstances, option comparisons and tradeoffs when making relocation decisions, and relevant resources, services, and next steps based on where employees are in their moves.
Switch not only supports mobile employees managing their moves but also benefits mobility teams responsible for success of moves. It provides real-time relocation guidance reducing dependence on mobility teams to answer routine questions, reduces program risk by directing employees to trusted relocation guidance and vetted resources instead of generic online searches or non-expert consumer AI tools, and extends relocation support beyond lump-sum and managed-move populations to all employees.
"We are focused on applying technology in ways that solve real challenges for both employees and mobility teams," said Ham. "Switch is an important step forward, transforming relocation from a collection of tools and resources into a more guided experience that helps employees understand their options, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence."
