What LES SERVICES DE RELOGEMENT NATIONAL (RELONAT) INC. does

RELONAT (LES SERVICES DE RELOGEMENT NATIONAL INC.) is a privately owned, bilingual Canadian relocation management company headquartered in Laval, Quebec. Founded in 1993, the firm has operated for over 30 years managing corporate and individual relocation programs across Canada (with global capabilities claimed) and serves businesses transferring employees domestically, cross-border, or internationally, alongside financial institutions and individual relocators.

The company delivers a comprehensive 19-module service suite organized into four phases — Origin (home sale, lump sum, expense and closing services, lease cancellation), Transition (move management, property management, comparative value studies, temporary accommodation, immigration, cross-cultural and language training), Destination (home search, rental search, orientation, settling-in, school search, spousal assistance), and Consulting (policy development, benchmarking). Service delivery is anchored by a single-point-of-contact philosophy under which each transferring family is assigned one dedicated bilingual relocation counselor, overseen by an Account Manager. Technology infrastructure consists of a web-based client portal for document uploads and case management, Sage Software for internal management, and cloud hosting via Cologix Canada (Montréal) and Datto Inc. (Toronto).

RELONAT generates revenue through professional services fees across three streams: corporate relocation program management (fully outsourced or stand-alone solutions), financial institution services (foreclosed property management and mortgage referral administration via its RE/MAX Group partnership), and individual relocation services on a fee-for-service basis. Pricing is described as transparent and customized, with direct expenses invoiced at actual cost plus rebates and no technology or network fees charged to suppliers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales to corporate HR departments, supplemented by client referrals and a long-tenured loyal customer base. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public listing.
