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.
Canix is a cannabis compliance and operations platform covering track-and-trace (Metrc and BioTrack), sales orders, invoicing, and cultivation management. 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.
Sellbrite ships occasional marketplace features amid seasonal selling guides.
Sellbrite's feed mixes seller how-to guides with a few real product moves: eBay Motors listing support, a Do It For You setup service, and a GoDaddy Payments integration. Sellbrite is a multichannel listing and inventory tool for marketplace sellers; its genuine updates broaden channel and payment coverage, but they are infrequent and surrounded by seasonal content.
Canix is a cannabis compliance and operations platform covering track-and-trace (Metrc and BioTrack), sales orders, invoicing, and cultivation management. 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.
Canix is moving in two directions simultaneously: operational compliance tooling (layover transfers, label printing from workflows, QBO reconciliation) and AI-native features (MCP server for Claude/ChatGPT inventory queries, Purchase Order AI Agent for email-to-PO creation). The MCP server positions Canix data as LLM-queryable in real time, which is a meaningful architecture shift — users can ask natural language questions about inventory without building a custom integration. The PO AI Agent alpha targets a high-friction workflow that cannabis operations teams manage manually today.
The MCP server and PO AI Agent are early signals of a broader AI pivot for Canix. Expect the MCP server's surface to expand beyond package and inventory data to include sales and compliance data. The PO agent will likely exit alpha within a few months with tighter Metrc manifest integration, given the manifest-to-PO workflow is explicitly mentioned.

Sellbrite is a multichannel listing and inventory tool for marketplace sellers; its genuine updates broaden channel and payment coverage, but they are infrequent and surrounded by seasonal content.
Sellbrite is extending marketplace reach with eBay Motors, reducing onboarding friction with its DIFY service, and adding payment rails through GoDaddy. The direction is incremental channel-and-service breadth on a slow cadence.
Expect more marketplace-channel additions and onboarding services, released sporadically between seasonal selling guides.
