INDIANAPOLIS – On October 31, 2009, another long awaited consumer option for computers became available at www.walmart.com.
A Unity System, Inc. (AUS), a minority-owned computer supplier and distributor, signed an agreement with Wal-Mart to provide desktops and stylish laptops to Walmart customers.
According to AUS’ president and CEO, Tonee Bell, “AUS intends to crack the digital divide by offering products that are affordable and more valuable for the average consumer.” The costs of the computers range from $298.00 to $478 for desktops and $398.00 to $628.00 for laptops. The high-end desktops have built-in Wi-Fi. All laptops feature built-in webcam, microphone and Wi-Fi, and the upper end laptops include Bluetooth. “Our products are affordable due to our operational efficiencies and they are assembled in the United States to help maintain and create American jobs,” says Bell.
Besides affordability, AUS is backing the quality of its products by offering a one year warranty on labor and three years limited warranty on parts, which is two years more than the market average. For similar products, other competitors are only offering one year parts and labor. “The longer limited warranty period is a part of our focus on excellent customer service as we want our buyers to be comfortable with their purchasing decision,” says Bell.
Bell has overcome incredible odds to compete in an industry dominated by major corporations. As a sound business professional with no financial backing, Mr. Bell started AUS in 1999 and entered major retail in 2001 with Staples, and later Kmart, and Office Depot. AUS also supplied computers to General Motors through its GM Advantage Program.
