Localyze

Overview

Localyze covers international relocations, workations, business trips and visa renewals. HR teams can track case status and employee details alongside work-abroad days, travel, budgets, expenditures and payments. Bringing these records together can make it easier to oversee mobility activity across multiple locations than managing each process in isolation.

The service combines software with immigration expertise and destination support. Employees can use a self-serve help centre, contact a dedicated case manager or use in-app chat; assistance is available within 24 hours on workdays. Coverage is global, including Highly Skilled Migrant Visas, European Blue Cards, residence permits and short-stay cases.

Key features

Casework and destination support

Document collection, deadline alerts and an employee portal support the steps around a move, while case tracking keeps relocations, workations and renewals visible to HR. Marketplace and premium partners provide housing, family support, concierge services and moving support. That breadth is useful for employers seeking both process oversight and practical help for employees; companies needing only a narrow visa workflow may not need the full service mix.

Reporting, integrations and security

Reporting spans case progress, work-abroad days, business trips, budgets, expenditures and payments, which gives HR a wider view of mobility activity. Services can be paid for by card or bank transfer. Bidirectional HRIS sync includes Personio, BambooHR, Workday, HiBob and SAP SuccessFactors, reducing the need to maintain employee data separately.

Localyze says it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, with customizable permissions, SSO and 2FA. It hosts the service in AWS European data centers, uses TLS in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, and runs penetration testing and vulnerability scans. These controls matter to organizations handling employee and immigration records.

Pricing

Localyze uses custom pricing: companies must schedule a demo to discuss software and case service levels. That makes it harder to compare costs before assessing their likely volume and support needs. Startups with fewer than 50 employees can request special rates.

Software plans

Starter provides one HR user license, knowledge-section access, and notifications and updates on open cases. It is the leanest option for a small HR operation, but has no listed integrations or multi-office support. Business includes Starter, raises access to up to three HR users, and adds HR tool integrations and multiple office locations, making it a better fit for a team coordinating across offices.

Enterprise includes Business, unlimited HR user licenses and a dedicated account manager via chat. It suits larger HR teams that need broader access and a named contact, though its custom price must be weighed against that scale.

Case service levels

Basic is self-managed and provides a step-by-step platform guide, so it fits employers able to run cases themselves. Assisted adds a dedicated case management team and expert assistance, as well as an individual step-by-step platform guide. Premium adds appointment booking support and a personalized introductory call to the dedicated team’s expert help and individual guidance.

Platforms

Localyze runs in a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. A browser-based service avoids requiring a particular desktop operating system, though no native mobile app is part of the stated offering.

Who it's for

Localyze is aimed at companies managing employee global mobility, especially HR teams handling moves across several locations or combining relocation, travel and work-abroad oversight. Its integrations and multi-office support make Business more relevant than Starter for teams with established HR systems and distributed operations. Employers that want dedicated case expertise can consider Assisted or Premium; companies with fewer than 50 employees can ask about startup rates.

Pros and cons

• Broad mobility coverage: Relocations, workations, business trips and visa renewals share a case-tracking and reporting platform.
• Practical employee support: Immigration expertise, destination services, a case manager and in-app chat extend beyond record keeping.
• Useful HR controls: Bidirectional sync, configurable permissions, SSO and 2FA address integration and access needs.
• Cost is difficult to assess upfront: Custom pricing requires a demo, and the software and service tiers have no displayed numeric prices.
• Starter is tightly scoped: One HR license and no stated integrations or multiple-office support may be limiting for growing or distributed teams.
