Unified provides retailers with technology that helps them operate more efficiently. From interactive ordering systems to retail point-of-sale services, hardware and software procurement services or technology that tracks Unified products through the supply chain, Unified has the right solution for retailers who want to be more productive and improve their bottom line.
Retail technology services from Unified include maintenance and telephone support, as well as disaster recovery to restore systems in case of malfunction. We also provide specialist training as part of our technology services. And because Unified is able to leverage the buying power of many retailers through its cooperative structure, the company is able to provide these services to retailers at an affordable cost.
Some of the retail technology products and services available from Unified include:
IOS – The InterActive Ordering System
A hand-held device that enables orders with Unified to be placed directly from store aisles. It also provides a wealth of information to retailers, including order history, out-of-stock information, prices, costs, cube and weight totals and much more.
ULINK: Pricing & Shelf Management Tools for Retailers
ULINK is a suite of applications used to download, edit and print tags from price files. Also included are online catalogs containing all items available in Unified's warehouses and electronic invoices for downloading and viewing. ULINK saves time, increases accuracy, and adds flexibility to one of the retailer's most important jobs — ensuring healthy profits.
ReadyPay®
ReadyPay® is a system of hardware and payment application software that quickly delivers approval for debit, credit, EBT, store and third party gift cards, and check transactions. Another feature, the "connected payment" application, removes card data from the stores. All payment applications are available in either an integrated or stand-beside point-of-sale environment.
uNET – A Retail Broadband Network
uNet is a PCI-compliant network which helps keep electronic payment transactions secure. uNet also has unique, built-in redundancies for stability and reliability far beyond standard broadband services. It allows retailers to connect to Unified, the Internet and sites within their own organization using the best network access technology available on a site-by-site basis.
