UniteU is continually innovating and developing technology to create a seamless omni-channel shopping experiences for consumers. UniteU Commerce works as a single unifying hub, connecting and aggregating data sources then leveraging that data across channels and devices. This allows companies to respond more rapidly to new opportunities and in-turn provide engaging shopping experiences for their consumers. The most recent application of this strategy has been the development of a cloud-connected mobile-point-of-sale solution, which is backed by the robust UniteU Commerce platform. The new application solidifies UniteU as a provider for omni-channel retailers, allowing them to deploy a more seamless experience to their shoppers in-store or on-the-go. 

UniteU clients have also excelled in the mobile space, largely due to the impressive speed and responsiveness of their mobile commerce technology, resulting in high conversion rates. “Our approach to mobile shopping is unique. Consumers expect an extremely fast and intuitive browsing experience,” said Das. “To provide this we categorize devices into groups, with desktop and tablet devices being one consideration and mobile 3G/4G devices as another category. We then use a combination of client-side and server-side technologies to send only the responsive elements that are applicable to an individual user's device. This reduces the amount of data transmitted and provides lightning-fast speed and performance. 

“Our company continues to grow by adding new customers to our platform and by focusing on expanding our existing clients’ businesses—growing their online revenues and developing technology that helps them expand their reach. New technology such as our in-store solutions and mobile initiatives help them to do this,” he said. “It is rewarding to see these brands have such marked success.”

There were fears this summer that luxury spending in China might slow as the economy there weakened, but Tiffany is the latest Western brand to report good sales there. Prada SpA and Coach Inc recently posted big gains in the world's fastest-growing market for luxury goods.Sales at stores open at least a year in Asia, except for Japan, rose 13 percent in the second quarter ended July 31, helped largely by China. 

But same-store sales were unchanged in the Americas, which is still Tiffany's biggest market. This suggests the company may have faced the same summer pullback by U.S. shoppers that dented sales at chains ranging from Saks Inc to Target Corp ."Business in the Americas is light," said Edward Jones analyst Brian Yarbrough. Tiffany continues to struggle with low-end jewelry sales, he added. 

Tiffany executives told analysts on a conference call that tourists' purchases had helped business tick up at the Fifth Avenue flagship in New York, which generates about one-eighth of sales. Elsewhere, though, there was still reason to be prudent, they said. 

An Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters earlier this month found 35 percent of Americans planned to spend less on jewelry in the 2013 holiday season, while only 5 percent expected to spend more.Tiffany said it still expected net sales worldwide to increase by a mid-single-digit percentage rate for the year, including the effect of the strong dollar. 

The company has struggled to find the right mix of the expensive jewelry for which it is known and the more-affordable silver items, typically less than $500, that generate 25 percent of sales and comprise its most profitable category.
