Streamlining Global Talent Relocation

With teams spread across the world and talent acquisition extending into emerging tech hubs, INNEX GmbH is no stranger to international mobility. When it came to relocating talent from Sri Lanka to Germany, they faced more than just timezone differences, they faced logistical and operational headaches.

We spoke to Melanie Wiehl (HR Business Partner), Johannes Knust (Manager Technical Consulting & Development), and Sabrina Backhaus (Human & resource Manager) to learn more about how Localyze helped transform their Global Mobility experience into a streamlined, stress-free process.

Transformation of Global Mobility Processes with Localyze

INNEX GmbH is a fast-growing IT consultancy company at the intersection of tech and innovation, with a people-first culture and a growing need for international talent. With international hiring on the rise and multiple stakeholders involved in global mobility, the team needed a reliable solution to manage the entire mobility process, from immigration and visas to housing, family support and settling-in support, without losing valuable time and ensuring a smooth experience for their talents.

Prior to using Localyze, INNEX managed relocations manually, often resulting in delays when the People team was unavailable. Visa appointments and Sri Lanka were unpredictable, communication was scattered across emails, and paperwork created constant bottlenecks.

The challenge

The mobility process was heavily dependent on manual workflows. "If someone was out of office, we had to wait. There was no visibility and too much back-and-forth" shared Johannes Knust.

Key challenges included:

Fragmented communication and document handling
Lack of a central overview of case progress
Difficulty managing visa timelines and onboarding logistics.

The People & Culture Team needed a clear, self-serve solution to help them and their relocating employees stay informed and aligned without overburdening internal resources.

Results that Matter

With Localyze, INNEX GmbH saw significant improvements:

Faster response times for HR and employees
Fewer delays thanks to centralized, real-time updates
Higher success rate in securing housing and handling logistics
Less stress for the People & Culture Team, more clarity for talent

"Localyze is intuitive, responsive and just makes things easier," said Sabrina Backhaus.

Having one platform, and one point of contact per case, helped the team stay organized and agile, turning what was once a painful process into a smooth experience for everyone involved.

The Solution

Localyze transformed how INNEX GmbH handled its global mobility processes thanks to its digital end-to-end platform and great customer support.

For the talents, having access to the Localyze platform and regular support from case managers meant they could check timelines, upload documents, and follow progress all in one place, without having to email the People & Culture Team. And for the People & Culture Team, the centralized platform with all documents and timelines gave the team full visibility on their talents moves.

"Our employees always had someone to talk to. The chat function made everything faster and easier," said Melanie Wiehl.
