You're not the only one who's had enough.
Relocation Consultants face unique challenges: Coordinating a single move across moving companies, temp housing, schools, and the employer's relocation policy without anything slipping. Tracking which relocating employees are in home-finding vs. settling-in vs. departure stages across many concurrent assignments. Reconciling lump-sum and managed-cap relocation budgets so a family doesn't overspend the allowance on the first apartment. Documenting every home-finding tour, school visit, and area orientation for the corporate client's audit and reimbursement. On top of all that, QuickBooks charges $55/month ($660/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Relocation Consultant earns $55,000/year. Software at $660/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Destination-area orientation binders and neighborhood comparison sheets is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

Most mornings start with the assignee who can't sleep because the moving truck is three days out and the lease on the new place hasn't been countersigned. You spend the first hour chasing the landlord's agent, then jump on a video call to walk a transferring family through three rental options near the school district they liked, comparing commute times to the new office down to the minute. By midday you're booking a temporary-housing extension because the household-goods shipment cleared customs late, and you're reminding HR that the relocation allowance still has room for the pet-import fees. Afternoons are settling-in logistics: which DMV branch, how to open a bank account without a local credit history, where the urgent-care clinic is. You drive a newly arrived couple through their target neighborhoods, narrating school ratings and grocery options, then come home to file the home-finding report the corporate client needs for the file. The work is half logistics, half hand-holding people through the most stressful month of their lives. Nothing is standardized: every move has a different policy cap, a different family, a different city. You live in checklists, and the checklist that falls through the cracks is the one that ends up as a 9 p.m. phone call from a panicked transferee.
