Relocation Essentials has built a non-portal technology application that aggregates the highest quality Internet relocation resources, covering the entire moving process within a single resource. "Our goal is to take the frustration out of searching the web for relocation content by providing concise information in a simple, user-friendly format," said Michael Bilodeau, CEO of Relocation Essentials.

Founded by relocation experts, the company conducts a thorough research and screening process of vital moving services offered throughout the Internet. Using a best- in-class strategy, each category is arranged in a simple, step-by-step layout within Relocation Essentials providing a clear, concise and comprehensive site to assist and help manage the entire relocation process. Some of the services provided by the site through their quality-proven partners include child and elder care research, detailed "new city" information, mortgage and moving quotes, insurance, school, city and crime information, and much more. Relocation Essentials also includes a proprietary Interactive Personal Move Planner™ and Expense Tracker, developed to work in conjunction with the services of their partners.

The user was left to wade through a wide range of services and complicated array of options with no way to judge the integrity of the information.

Relocation Essentials will offer various content-intensive platforms, from relocation tool based co-brands to full-blown corporate private label opportunities, which will allow internal HR and Relocation Specialists a simple and time-efficient management tool for themselves and the transferee that consistently contains the most up-to-date information available.
