FREE CHECKLIST FOR MOBILITY LEADERS
The seven questions that separate real mobility tech from a good demo
Most mobility programs run on four disconnected systems, a stack of spreadsheets, and the patience of the people holding it together. When the time comes to fix that, the evaluation usually starts in the wrong place: the vendor demo, where every product looks identical and every claim sounds true.
This one page checklist gives you the seven questions to ask before you open an RFP. Walk into your next vendor conversation able to tell the platform that works from the one that just demos well.

Why evaluations go wrong
The demo hides the three problems that decide whether a platform actually works
01
You start at the demo instead of the problem
Every vendor demo looks the same: clean dashboards, tidy data, workflows that route the way they are supposed to. The demo is a sales artifact, not evidence the software will work in your program. Begin there and you almost guarantee the wrong choice.
02
The RFP only covers your managed moves
Most RFPs concentrate on executive relocations and assignees. Meanwhile lump sum, domestic, intern, and early career populations run on email and spreadsheets with no platform, no visibility, and no data worth reporting on. They are often the larger share of moves.
03
"Integration" means three different things in one meeting
You will hear the word in every pitch. Few platforms were built API first. The rest were bolted on afterward and handed you a bag of adapters. Both technically connect, until the first data handoff stalls a six month implementation.
WHAT THE CHECKLIST GIVES YOU
Walk in with the questions vendors hope you will not ask
- A test every pitch has to pass
Seven precise questions turn a vague "we need better technology" into specific, measurable criteria. State the problem that exactly and most vendor pitches fail it on the spot.
- Alignment before the RFP opens
The checklist is built to share. Use it to get procurement, finance, HR, and mobility agreed on the same three pain points, so you are ready to evaluate rather than negotiating internally mid process.
- Clarity on technology versus services
Learn why bundling technology and services into one decision quietly produces mediocrity in one of the two, and how to evaluate each on its own so you find out in week one rather than month six.
