RELONAT

What RELONAT does

RELONAT (legal entity: Les Services de Relogement National (RELONAT) Inc.) is a privately held, bilingual Canadian workforce mobility and relocation management firm headquartered in Laval, Quebec. Founded in 1993 (per company history; firmographics data states 1986, with both sources referencing "over 30 years" of operation), the company delivers end-to-end corporate relocation program management across four service buckets: At Origin (home sale programs, lump sum management, expense management, closing services, lease cancellation), In Transition (move management, property management, comparative value studies, temporary accommodation, immigration, cross-cultural and language training), At Destination (home search, rental search, orientation, settling-in, school search, spousal assistance), and Consulting (policy development, benchmarking). Beyond corporate relocations, RELONAT also manages foreclosed properties and administers mortgage referral programs for financial institutions, and serves individual transferees without corporate sponsorship.

The company's technology stack is modest and operationally focused rather than differentiated. It consists of a web-based client portal for document upload and account management, integrated with Sage Software Canada Ltd. for internal business and financial management, with infrastructure hosted via Cologix Canada (Montreal) and Datto Inc. (Toronto) cloud providers. Document handling emphasizes encryption at rest and encrypted inter-component communications. There is no disclosed API, no mobile application, no AI/ML capability, and no SDK offering — the portal serves as a coordination and document-execution layer rather than a data or analytics product.

RELONAT's business model is B2B professional services, sold via enterprise field sales through dedicated account managers into corporate HR departments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; programs are tailored by employee volume and scope (fully outsourced turnkey vs. à la carte) and billed under multi-year contracts with transparent actual-cost billing. The company monetizes through professional services fees, ancillary financial institution services (foreclosed property management, mortgage referral administration), and individual self-pay relocation assistance. Distribution is anchored by a referral and network partnership with the RE/MAX Group, granting access to a global real estate agent network.
