Most companies buy software like they buy snacks.
A card on file at four vendors, three renewal dates nobody owns, and a seat count that stopped matching payroll two hires ago. When something breaks, the license and the support live in different buildings.
Unified NW puts purchasing and support on the same line item. Four ways to buy, one agreement, one invoice, and the same technician who already knows your tenant.

Pick how far up you want us.
Licensing costs the same at every elevation — you always pay what we pay. What changes is how much of the running, watching and fixing sits with us. Keep scrolling to climb.

See the whole monthly number before you talk to anyone.
Set your user count, pick the licenses you run or want to run, and the tier. Licensing and support total up together, because that is how the invoice arrives.

From first call to first invoice
No discovery theater. We look at what you already pay for, tell you what is redundant, and move the rest onto one agreement.
Send us your current bills
Vendor invoices, renewal dates, seat counts. A screenshot of your Microsoft admin center covers most of it.
We map the stack and the spend
You get a one-page picture of every subscription, what it costs, what overlaps, and what a consolidated bill looks like — typically within three business days.
Pick an elevation
Trailhead, Timberline or Summit. The licensing price is identical at all three, so this is purely a question of who carries the pack.
We migrate the tenancy
Subscriptions transfer to our partner tenant on your existing renewal dates. No reinstalls, no downtime, no lapse in coverage.
One invoice, first of the month
Line-itemed by SKU and seat count so you can see exactly what moved. Adds and removals pro-rate on the next cycle.
A certified reseller for the platforms you already run on.
Direct reseller and partner authorizations across the managed IT stack are why licensing can pass through at cost instead of through a middleman’s margin.
Questions we get on the first call
What does "pass-through" actually mean?
You pay the same per-seat license price we pay our distributor, with no markup added to the license itself. Our revenue is the support tier, not a margin buried in your Microsoft bill. We will show you the distributor rate on request.
Do I have to move all of my licensing at once?
No. Subscriptions transfer at their own renewal dates, so most clients migrate over three to twelve months as terms come up. There is no early-termination charge on our side.
Am I locked into a contract?
Support tiers run month to month after an initial 90-day period. Licensing follows the vendor's term — most Microsoft and security SKUs are monthly; a few, like some Cisco and Verkada licenses, are annual. We flag every annual commitment in writing before you sign it.
What happens when I hire or lose someone?
Email or call the helpdesk. Seats are added within one business day and removed the same day, and the change pro-rates on your next invoice. You are never paying for a seat that walked out in March.
How is this different from activity3.llc?
Sister companies, same team, same phone numbers. Activity3 delivers managed IT, cybersecurity and custom software. Unified NW, LLC is the purchasing and enablement side — licensing, connectivity, hardware and AI readiness — so that buying and supporting sit on one agreement.
Can you help us use Copilot or Gemini without exposing client data?
Yes — that is what our AI readiness projects are for. We clean up oversharing in SharePoint, OneDrive or Google Drive, set access walls by role, then turn on Copilot or Gemini and train your team. Every project is fixed-scope and fixed-price, starting at $800. Take the five-minute assessment to see which ones fit.
Do you support clients outside the Northwest?
Yes. We are headquartered in Southern Idaho with a second office outside Philadelphia, and we support clients in all 50 states. Remote support is US-based; on-site work runs through our nationwide field network.
Send us one invoice. We will tell you what it should cost.
No obligation. If consolidating does not save you money, we will say so and you keep the analysis.
