UniGroup

What UniGroup does

UniGroup, C.A. is a privately held Missouri cooperative and the nation's largest household goods relocation organization, operating a portfolio of complementary transportation and logistics brands: United Van Lines (the largest U.S. household goods mover with 300 affiliated agencies), Mayflower Transit (200 affiliated agencies), UniGroup Logistics (third-party supply chain solutions), UniGroup Worldwide (international moving in 160+ countries), Allegiant Move Management (corporate and government account move management), and Move Rescue (consumer protection service). The company was formed in 1988 to consolidate the back-office functions of United Van Lines (founded 1947) and acquired Mayflower Transit in 1995, with both van lines together handling approximately one in three professional interstate moves in the United States. UniGroup became a cooperative in February 2018, owned by its active agents and senior management, with a 184,000-square-foot headquarters in Fenton, Missouri (suburban St. Louis).

The company generates revenue through a hybrid model combining transaction-based transportation and relocation fees (paid by residential, corporate, and government customers), recurring fees from agents for access to UniGroup's brand, technology, and lead-generation systems, and professional services revenue from corporate and government account management. Its proprietary technology platform — including the Quotes-To-Go web-based quoting tool, the LeadingEdge qualified-lead generation program, a dynamic CRM platform, and the industry's first patented demand-based pricing platform — is provided to the 500+ agent network. Distribution occurs primarily through the cooperative agent network, with field sales to Fortune 500 corporate accounts, GSA-approved carrier status for military and government moves, and self-service digital channels for residential customers. UniGroup Logistics extends the platform into B2B 3PL services including truckload, less-than-truckload, freight forwarding, distribution, project management, and IT relocations.
