Plan it right. Before it starts.
The decisions you make before an assignment begins determine how smoothly it runs. xpath.global's Assignments module gives you the tools to qualify, structure and launch every international move — starting with assignment feasibility, then moving through assignee profile, assignment, benefits package, cost estimate and launch.

Assignment feasibility check as step one of every plan
Assignee profile, assignment, benefits, cost estimate and launch in one structured flow
Assignment types include long-term, short-term, commuter, virtual, rotational, international business traveller and foreign recruit
Assignment planning is where most mobility programs are most inconsistent. Each new case involves decisions about feasibility, benefit packages, service eligibility, cost estimates, supplier selection and timeline — often made under time pressure, from memory, and without a clear policy framework. The result is cost overruns, benefit inequity and the constant renegotiation of what was supposed to be a standard process.
In xpath.global, every assignment follows a clear five-step path: assignment feasibility first to validate the move makes sense, then assignee profile, assignment details, benefits package, cost estimate and launch. Some assignments can also be created automatically from upstream triggers, so HR only steps in where judgement is needed. The platform applies your benefit structures and routes any out-of-policy items for approval before the case opens.

Everything mobility, HR, and supporting functional team ask before rolling out xpath.global.
A well-planned assignment runs itself.
When the structure is right at the start in xpath.global, the supplier knows what to do, the assignee knows what to expect, the cost stays on budget, and compliance is built in. Fixing problems mid-assignment costs more than getting the plan right at the start.
