Add hardware to your marketplace.
Your buyers get their software from you and their devices somewhere else. Add a hardware catalog with an embed or our API; we run pricing, shipping, returns and support.
Why marketplaces add hardware
- Buyers of meeting and calling software need devices to use what they bought.
- Buyers who leave to find hardware may finish the whole purchase elsewhere.
- Buyers would rather put software and devices on one order.
UCDirect is for these, and more
We run the entire hardware operation
Everything a hardware program needs, already built and running, under your brand, co-branded, or as UCDirect. Your brand, your rules.

Frequently asked questions
How does a marketplace add physical products without warehousing them?
Embed UCDirect's storefront or put our API in your checkout. We handle warehousing and inventory, pick, pack and ship, global logistics and customs, and returns and warranty.
Does the catalog stay current?
Yes. UCDirect keeps the catalog current and provides real-time availability, with reporting and API feeds for your side.
What is UCDirect?
UCDirect runs the hardware side of a business for companies that sell software or services but not hardware: product guidance, pricing, ordering, warehousing, shipping, provisioning, returns, warranty and support. It is a Unified Communications company.
Who is UCDirect for?
UCaaS and meeting platforms, contact center platforms, workplace software, cloud marketplaces, procurement and ITSM platforms, manufacturers, resellers and VARs, carrier agents and MSPs, and system integrators: companies whose customers need phones, headsets, cameras or room systems to use what they sell.
How can I offer hardware to my customers without stocking it?
Pass us your customers' hardware needs, or give them a store with our pricing. UCDirect handles warehousing and inventory, pick, pack and ship, global logistics and customs, provisioning and configuration, and returns and warranty.
What are the ways to partner?
Five: a page we run (you add a link), a storefront you embed in your site, our API in your own checkout, quoting tools for your reps, or our inside sales team working your opportunities alongside yours. All five use the same catalog, pricing and operation.
Can it carry my brand?
Yes. The program can run under your brand, co-branded, or as UCDirect.
Where does UCDirect ship?
UCDirect handles global logistics and customs and serves customers in more than 37 countries.
