What do you like best about UrbanBound?

They have a couple of great tools that are helpful for new hires. One is an employee survey that provides insights based on real employees' experiences during their own moves to our location, and the other is a neighborhood finding tool that provides stats and information about specific areas within the major metro area.

Reporting has also greatly improved over time and the best thing is the UI experience for the new hires. Easy to request reimbursements, easy approval process, and quick payback to employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UrbanBound?

There is a bit of a push to use Urban Bound approved realtors. For moving services, it makes sense because of the vetting process (a positive) but sometimes people want to use their own realtors or are able to get local moving companies to reply faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UrbanBound solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick reimbursement, documented exceptions and easy access to policies, helpful classification of each expense type and very good customer service. Has definitely made the experience better for new hires and more efficient for us internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UrbanBound?

We appreciated when UrbanBound provided detailed relocation data on request.

They have also been very responsive to all our needs.

The feedback from our providers who are relocating is also very positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UrbanBound?

Nothing comes to mind.

Whenever we have had issues, we have shared them, and UB has addressed them in a very timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UrbanBound solving and how is that benefiting you?

We appreciate that UB is handling relocation arrangements instead of our staff and the incoming new hires. This creates more of a "red carpet" experience for our valued providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about UrbanBound?

The portal was nice. Was helpful linking to apartmentlist.com. Not much else to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UrbanBound?

Like other reviews had indicated, the portal was rarely used for interaction. The moving consultant appeared to work completely independently. The prices I was quoted from their vendors were highly inflated and unrealistic in terms of requirements, compared to independent quotes I got from other sources. It was not unusual to see quotes as high as three times that of what independent moving companies were offering me.

In addition, the moving consultant did not appear to do any work. Beyond the initial contact with the moving companies, Urbanbound did no action to facilitate the move. I had to go through all the legwork of calling these vendors and negotiating my needs while I was also busy at work after putting in my two weeks notice. The process should have involved me providing a list of my possessions to Urbanbound and they should have gone through the legwork to find movers within the given price range, but everything was done myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering UrbanBound:

Avoid if you have any option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UrbanBound solving and how is that benefiting you?

Urbanbound is used by my company to help relocate.

There were no benefits. Instead of reducing stress, going through Urbanbound increased the stress of moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
