The global mobility specialist Crown World Mobility has announced the acquisition of TIME Relocation, a UK cloud-based technology company within the relocations and mobility industry.

Technology and the mobility industry

The acquisition adds TIME’s technology platform to Crown’s exclusive global service network, providing significant benefits across the value chain.“Technology is at the forefront of our industry,” says Curt Smith, group vice president of Crown World Mobility. “This acquisition allows us to expand our service offerings for new and existing customers and meets a growing demand for managed Lump Sum and Flexible move-types in the marketplace.”In recent years, Lump Sum policies have grown in popularity and are expected to increase due to shifting consumer preferences and the recent tax reform in the US. TIME’s proprietary technology platform has been specifically developed to address these types of moves and enhance the relocation process.
