Canix vs Shiprocket

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.

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.

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.
