Unik

What Unik does

Unik Solutions SAS is a French software company founded in 2011 that builds a 100% web-based SaaS platform dedicated to the printing and graphics industry. Its core product, Unik Web to Print, is an all-in-one e-commerce and web-to-print solution that enables print shops to sell customized printed products online, manage orders end-to-end, and automate prepress workflows including Preflight verification and BÀT (proof) validation. The platform is organized around 63+ modules and 500+ configuration options covering product catalog, pricing formulas, online personalization (browser-based PDF editor with variable-data database coupling), multi-site and private boutique storefronts, production planning, stock and logistics, accounting, and multi-language/multi-currency/multi-company support. Adjacent product lines extend the platform's reach: Unik Factory (a production ERP with job and circuit management), Unik Shipping (multi-carrier shipping label automation), Unik Commerce (general B2C/B2B e-commerce), and Unik Industry (a complete solution for industrial companies beyond print).

The technology stack is built on a cloud-native web architecture (hosted via OVH) with deep third-party integrations spanning payment gateways (Stripe, Payplug, PayPal, GoCardless), shipping carriers (Colissimo, DHL, DPD, Chronopost, UPS, TNT, Mondial Relay), 10+ marketplaces (Amazon, Cdiscount, Fnac, Google Shopping, Rakuten, etc.), ERPs and accounting packages (Cadratin, MasterPrint, Sage, EBP, Gestimum, Divalto), and prepress automation engines (Enfocus Switch, Esko Automation Engine). The platform supports supplier gateways to wholesale print catalogs (Saxoprint, Realisaprint, Anda Present). In February 2026, Unik layered on generative AI capabilities — image generation via the GPT-Image-2 model and AI-powered product description writing — monetized through a credit system (€50 per 50 credits) atop the existing subscription.

Unik monetizes through a modular subscription model: a standard license starts at €240/month and includes the core platform, with additional modules priced from €25/month each and site-extension fees at €10-€30/month per site (private boutiques). The company does not take commissions on sales or transaction fees beyond standard payment processing, which differentiates it from marketplace-style competitors. Training and onboarding (€600-€2,000) and ongoing support are sold alongside, and the company is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and Qualiopi certified, with Qualiopi specifically enabling the sale of training services funded by French enterprise training budgets. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with €260,000 of share capital, headquartered in Allonzier-la-Caille, France, and serves printers primarily in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, including a strategic partnership with Belgian multi-country reseller Dataline announced in October 2025.
