About Canix
Canix ships an MCP server for real-time inventory queries and a Purchase Order AI Agent alpha, while adding dark mode and workflow-integrated label printing.

The product has been adding workflow improvements rapidly: labels print directly from action completion dialogs, invoices now show MSRP and per-unit discounts, multi-leg transfer layovers are supported, and LeafLink credit accounting now reconciles automatically with QuickBooks Online. These are operational depth additions targeting the day-to-day workflows of cultivators and distributors.
