Registration at the trench, not weeks later
Grid operators want digital as-builts, and in the Netherlands they want them in NLCS++: Stedin from 1 January 2027, Enexis and Alliander from 2028. With the UNI-Collect Survey Package your crew records the network while the trench is open, and UNI-Cloud Ultimate turns it into an NLCS++ delivery for the grid operator. NLCS++ is fully supported across the platform. Read more on registration at the trench and what NLCS++ is (Dutch).

Support that keeps you working
Our own support team in Hilversum answers the phone during office hours, on a local number in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. Those three numbers are an extra, not a limit: we help customers worldwide, by phone, email and chat, in several languages. What customers tell us most is that we keep them moving. Someone picks up a kit from a colleague, has never used it before and calls to ask how to set it up: that is usually sorted on the phone in a few minutes. If talking it through is not enough, we can take over the receiver remotely and look at it with you. For the harder cases we stay on it until you can get on with your work.
- Email and chat support on every plan.
- Phone support and remote assistance from Professional.
- A replacement receiver if yours fails, on Ultimate.
What our customers say
“Measuring tapes are a thing of the past. With the UNI-GR2 we are now able to equip every worker, foreman or technician in the field with an easy to use receiver to survey.”

“By using the UNI-GR2 and combining it with our GIS tools, we have been able to work more efficient. On fibre optics projects, we are now able to skip about 50 process steps!”
BAM Infra Telecom
The Netherlands
“The stake-out function saves us a lot of time, with quick loading of points and lines. It’s easy to use, which is a big plus. We use the UNI-GR2 for baseline measurements, construction work, and sewer projects, and we’re very satisfied with it.”

Frequently asked questions
The UNI-Collect app with the UNI-GR2 receiver. Your crew measures every cable, pipe and joint to the centimetre with photos, and the data syncs to UNI-Cloud, where it is delivered in NLCS++ or your client’s format.
Yes, NLCS++ is fully supported across the platform. NLCS++ delivery is part of UNI-Cloud Ultimate, € 1.095 per user per year. Dutch grid operators require NLCS++ delivery: Stedin from 1 January 2027, Enexis and Alliander from 2028.
Yes. You request a KLIC notification directly in UNI-Cloud, and the cables and pipes load as a layer over your project on the tablet, in the office and in the UNI-Machine cabin.
Yes. Every point has a height against NAP or your site datum, so you record the depth of cover of each cable or pipe while the trench is open.
Centimetre-accurate with an RTK fix from the UNI-GR2 and UNI-RTK Premium corrections. In the open you work to the centimetre; close to buildings, trees or other obstructions, where the sky view is limited, expect around 2 cm. Tilt compensation up to 45 degrees means the pole does not have to be held level.
The UNI-Collect Survey Package is € 5.645 the first year, complete with the UNI-GR2 receiver, a rugged tablet, a pole, the UNI-Collect app, one year of UNI-Cloud Professional and one year of UNI-RTK Premium. After that it is € 1.750 a year for the two subscriptions. Prices exclude VAT.
No. The kit is built for people on site without a surveying background. If you can use a smartphone, you can measure and set out with it. We walk you through the first setup, and our own support team in Hilversum is on the phone Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 CET.
