DIFFERENCES
Where Unify Int is different.
PIM and inventory, not only storefronts
The Unify Catalog and Inventory APIs are designed for PIMs such as Akeneo, Salsify and inRiver and for warehouse and inventory systems, on the same model as the ledger.
Platform plus people
The Unify Technology Center scopes, builds, migrates and runs integrations, with fixed-price scopes from a published rate card structure.
Pricing structure in the open
Unify Int publishes its tiers, its pricing unit (active connections) and its services rate card structure, so you can estimate cost before a call.
