    With the launch of our new digital service platform, Weichert Go, we are redefining mobility technology, revolutionizing every aspect of the relocation process. Go is the first and only workforce mobility tech built entirely on Salesforce, the world’s number one digital experience and relationship management platform. This architecture enables Go — and Weichert’s customers — to benefit from every advancement made under Salesforce’s rigorous billion-dollar research and development program.

    Most relocation technology systems are either built on ServiceEngine, a platform that allows for a minimal degree of customization, or “home grown” with an expiration date, requiring expensive and time-consuming upgrades. Conversely, Go’s robust Salesforce foundation reflects the latest innovations, and is seamlessly updated as Salesforce evolves. Users stay ahead of the speed of business, which makes Go the industry’s first and only future-proof technology.

    The Salesforce foundation also allows Go to function as a connectivity superstar, integrating seamlessly with HRIS systems to give managers One True ViewSM of their entire program and mobile population, so they can predict costs more accurately, spot trends and deploy talent faster.

    One of the platform’s most lauded features is a dynamic, intuitive dashboard that delivers highly relevant program information to mobility managers — often before they know they need it — to help them navigate the increasingly complex world of workforce mobility.

    Go delivers a similarly legendary experience for mobile employees, replacing redundant, time-wasting tasks with self-service tools that empower them to initiate services, select suppliers, schedule appointments, and manage documentation— all from the app. 

    Other key features include:

    • The Move Wizard, which simplifies initiations by automating key processes, with seamless API integration with other HR systems.
    • Budget tracking tools that reflect real-time actual vs. estimated spend for heightened cost control and accuracy to drive decision making.
    • Integrated assignment tools including TEQ management, Balance Sheet preparation and other compensation-related functions, delivering secure and transparent transactions.
    • Powerful AI and machine learning tools that make the system smarter and more intuitive with each use.
    • Interactive chat and community features that allow program managers to share questions, solutions, and best practices with peers in a private channel.
  5. If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Outline the market performance, critical reception, and customer satisfaction with the product or service to date. State monetary or unit sales figures to date, if possible, and how they compare to expectations or past performance. Provide links to laudatory product or service reviews. Include some customer testimonials, if applicable (up to 350 words):

    In our industry, the user experience has been broken for too long; not just for relocating employees and families, but for managers too. Weichert Go transforms the user experience to make mobility technology as intuitive and engaging as the retail apps people use every day. It’s making our industry think differently about technology and we’re proud to raise the bar—and the stakes.

    Our platform earned praise from Salesforce:

    “Salesforce is extremely proud to partner with Weichert to create a best-in-class technology solution for seamlessly managing the complex and unique components of workforce mobility,” said Mark Nardella, Director of Customer Success at Salesforce. “We look forward to seeing Weichert Go continue to revolutionize corporate relocation through automated workflows, predictive analytics and cost tracking.”

    Prior to our official launch in 2022, our team spent months conducting demos to clients and prospects, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Consistent feedback from these demos has been:

    • “I love the fresh new look.”
    • “You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. It is simple but intuitive, and very easy to navigate.”
    • “The interactive dashboards are amazing and make it easy to see and share the story of our program in a compelling way.”
    • “The single ecosystem between clients/employees/suppliers and Weichert’s internal teams gives us the data we need without having to mine information from multiple sources.”

    Of particular interest has been the machine learning component of Weichert Go, which will continue to draw data from corporate and employee data and provide our clients with predictive analytics that will simplify decision making.

    Given the seismic shifts to the nature of work and the priories of the modern workforce, the need for a streamlined, data-driven, and future-forward technology solution has been dire within the world of global mobility. In fact, in just over a month since its release, Weichert Go has rapidly captured the attention of some of the world’s largest globally operational organizations for many of whom we have provided formal demonstrations.  

    We have also seen great interest from prospective clients requesting demos and consultations.
