Moving and logistics network managing one in three interstate relocations
UniGroup operates the largest corporate moving and logistics network in the US through United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, handling roughly one-third of professional interstate moves. The tech stack reveals a hybrid modernization effort: Java/Spring/React/Postgres on the cloud side (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) running alongside legacy COBOL and DB2 systems, with active projects targeting ERP/TMS transition and mainframe modernization—a company in mid-flight from batch logistics systems toward real-time tracking and data-driven routing. Hiring velocity is accelerating across operations and engineering, suggesting infrastructure buildout for a cooperative model reoriented toward agent and customer support services.
UniGroup is a $1.7 billion transportation and logistics platform headquartered in Fenton, Missouri, serving corporate relocations, government accounts, and consumer moving services through two parent van lines, specialty logistics arms, rolling-stock financing, and supply commerce. The company owns United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, plus subsidiaries including UniGroup Worldwide, UniGroup Logistics, Allegiant Move Management (corporate/government TMC), and Trans Advantage. Since converting to a Missouri cooperative in 2018, UniGroup is wholly owned by its active agents and senior management. The operational footprint spans full-service moving, storage, transportation management, and logistics.
