In my role with Cartus in France, I see how current trends in the property market affect rental prices and the availability of housing on a day-to-day basis.

“Build as You Go” expense reporting is here! This new functionality, shown in our new video, enables transferring employees to organize, draft, submit, and track their expense reports right from CartusMobileSM, became available in the app stores and our CartusOnlineSM site on March 18.
I am passionate about CartusMobile! Some think my enthusiasm is fueled by the ever-present cup of coffee in my hand, but my energy source is actually the stream of suggestions and feedback I receive from transferring employees, client contacts, and formal meetings, as well as informal hallway encounters with Cartus consultants and account teams. All of this [...] Read More
