Labeling
Loftware Label software allows us to build professional and compliant labels for all your requirements. Any bar code symbology that your customer requires can be built using the Loftware NiceLabel products. Unified recently became a reseller for NiceLabel. We are migrating all of our Loftware Label Manager customers to NiceLabel due the the updated interface, flexibility and the Cloud version.
UCC-128 label for your cartons and pallets - we have create 100's of label formats for many retail and grocer and e-commerce sites.
We have generated 1,000's of labels per day using local and remote thermal transfer printers using the Loftware Print Manager product where we create the data content and drop the file into the Loftware controlled folder for immediate printing.
UPC labels for placement on product packaging - clean and compliant UPC labels built to specs.
Other labels based on customer requirements and needs - we will now be building labels supporting color as your customers set new specs that may require the use of color and images using color transfer printers.
Bill of Lading Printing
We use the SmartBoL product from ADi Data International to create professional printed Bill of Ladings
Export required data following the SmartBoL specs to send out the accurate text to be formatted into the BOL template to print via laser printers.
This allows us to concentrate on the data not the layout so that you get fast accurate BoL's for driver during their pickup windows.
Accounting
We will work with many accounting systems - Sage products, Microsoft Accounting products, QuickBooks to get the data from one system to the other accurately and quickly.
Our e-Insight product can provide seemless integration of 850 po data into sales orders, allow you to allocate all orders for a distribution center or location together to build a Bill of Lading with sequential carton/pallet detail that will allow storing of tracking numbers when using parcel delivery services, or the full SSCC formatted carton identifier for sending out on ASN 856 documents.

Revelation Software - Open Insight and O4W
We started with Revelation Software many years ago - initially with RevG, the first DOS based database to run on a local area network. We continued with the ARev product line which provided a GUI interface, and have worked with the Open Insight product as it matured. We mostly are using the 9.4 version but are in the process of migrating to the 10.X series that provides a more robust development environment, and it allows us to connect to other SQL data sources including msSQL, MS SQL, Postgres SQL, SQLite and other SQL flavors. It also allows us to connect to the Couchbase NoSQL database. This will allow us to build a robust cloud base solution for customers that desire to move their data to the cloud.
This option can run on AWS - including as a DBaaS solution, Microsoft Azure and early next year on Google clooud.
Open Insight allows us to build applications that can withstand the test of time, and changes in data. Data is less structured, web-based, accessed from multiple sources - networks, tablets, phones. We can provide this access using these tools.
The O4W product allows us to build robust Web 2.0 applications quickly. And allow access from mobile devices.
Couchbase NoSQL Cloud Solution 
Unified has select Couchbase as our platform for cloud-based solutions.
Couchbase is an open source, distributed document oriented database engine. Couchbase is a scalable, key-value or JSON document solution with low latency, scalable solution that can start on a single server and scale to very large scale deployments in the cloud.
Couchbase can also leverage your in-house SQL knowledge via their N1QL query language.
Couchbase and our knowledge of the Open Insight solution from Revelation Software lets us build robust solutions using multi-value, multiple array, variable length programming tools to work together to rapidly build and deploy solutions with a low total cost of ownership.
