Cartus

What Cartus does

Cartus Corporation, founded in 1955 and headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, is a global corporate relocation and talent mobility company operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS). The company manages more than 80,000 corporate relocations annually across 190+ countries, serving nearly a third of Fortune 100 companies along with a dedicated small-to-mid-size segment under the Cartus Insignia brand. Cartus also operates Cartus Concierge, a premium executive relocation program launched in May 2026.

Cartus's core technology platform centers on MovePro360, an end-to-end relocation management system, supplemented by Benefits Builder (benefits customization), Cartus Connect (client HR/finance integration), the Data Insights Dashboard (analytics), the Global Automated Tax Engine (GATE) for cross-border tax compliance, and the CartusOnline client and employee portal. Strategic technology partnerships extend the platform: Topia provides distributed-workforce compliance for business travelers and remote workers via the Cartus/Topia Compass solution, and Oasis Corporate Housing serves as the primary supplier for global temporary living, integrating Cartus's proprietary EasyStay program within the Oasis Metis platform.

The business model is professional services and managed services revenue, structured as quote-based annual subscription contracts with enterprise clients and per-relocation fees or percentage-of-program-cost arrangements. Cartus distributes primarily through direct enterprise field sales to large corporations and an inside-sales motion for mid-market clients via Cartus Insignia. Marketing relies on thought leadership (annual Global Talent Mobility Survey, Mobility Matters podcast), proprietary GTM Leadership Exchange events, and sponsorship of major industry conferences (FEM EMEA Summit, Worldwide ERC, Talent Mobility Conference). Cartus holds EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certifications and, in January 2026, became the first major global talent mobility company to achieve SBTi-validated net-zero targets. Ownership is expected to transfer to Compass International Holdings (NYSE: COMP) in H2 2026 upon closing of its pending all-stock acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate.
