What is Canix?
Canix is turning cannabis compliance paperwork into something its AI fills in for you.
Canix is seed-to-sale ERP and compliance software for cannabis operators, sitting on top of state track-and-trace systems like Metrc and BioTrack. Two threads run in parallel right now. One is an AI layer that has moved from answering questions to creating records — the MCP server now exposes package and inventory data, and the Purchase Order AI Agent builds POs from incoming email. The other is unglamorous operator work: invoice fields, label design, bulk actions, multi-leg transfer logistics, and letting BioTrack facilities in Florida add initial inventory without filing a support ticket.
What is Cody?
Cody is still paying down its pricing trust debt, one discrepancy a merchant would have caught by hand.
Cody Store shipped six items in a single batch, and four of them exist because a shopper or a back-office system was told the wrong number. Sale prices differed between listing and product pages, spend-and-save offers were rendered as per-item discounts, BOGO rounding sent paid orders to OnTempo looking unpaid, and a countdown timer had quietly become dependent on an unrelated field. The two additions — per-promotion caption colours and undo in Page Builder — are small controls handed to merchants who previously filed a request.
Canix vs Cody: editorial side-by-side
Canix
6.3E-COMM
Canix is turning cannabis compliance paperwork into something its AI fills in for you.
◆ Current state
Canix is seed-to-sale ERP and compliance software for cannabis operators, sitting on top of state track-and-trace systems like Metrc and BioTrack. Two threads run in parallel right now. One is an AI layer that has moved from answering questions to creating records — the MCP server now exposes package and inventory data, and the Purchase Order AI Agent builds POs from incoming email. The other is unglamorous operator work: invoice fields, label design, bulk actions, multi-leg transfer logistics, and letting BioTrack facilities in Florida add initial inventory without filing a support ticket.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI work is progressing along a clear axis — from read to write. The MCP server began as a query interface over sales data and has since absorbed packages and inventory; the Purchase Order agent crosses into creating the records a regulator will later inspect. Meanwhile the core product is being sanded down at exactly the points where operators previously had to contact support or track something outside the system, layovers being the latest. Both threads point at the same goal: fewer manual touches between a document arriving and the compliance system reflecting it.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Purchase Order agent to leave alpha and more record types to follow it, since the MCP server has already been extended twice along the same read-to-write path. Dark mode is also explicitly promised after the stopgap browser-extension workaround.
Cody
5.0E-COMM
Cody is still paying down its pricing trust debt, one discrepancy a merchant would have caught by hand.
◆ Current state
Cody Store shipped six items in a single batch, and four of them exist because a shopper or a back-office system was told the wrong number. Sale prices differed between listing and product pages, spend-and-save offers were rendered as per-item discounts, BOGO rounding sent paid orders to OnTempo looking unpaid, and a countdown timer had quietly become dependent on an unrelated field. The two additions — per-promotion caption colours and undo in Page Builder — are small controls handed to merchants who previously filed a request.
◆ Where it's heading
The promotions pipeline is being made honest end to end: what the shopper sees on a listing tile, what the cart charges, and what lands in OnTempo are converging on the same figure. The self-serve thread continues in parallel, with each release moving one more thing out of a support ticket and into a toggle or a colour picker. Nothing here builds new merchandising capability; it is the correctness work that has to precede it.
◆ Prediction
With display and export both reconciled, the next surfaces are likely to keep extending Promotions v2 controls that were previously site-wide defaults — the caption colour picker is the template for that pattern.
