THE PROBLEM

Software is structured. Physical production is not.

Unstructured specifications

Every product carries different sizes, stocks, finishes, tolerances, artwork rules, and turnaround constraints.

Manual commercial workflows

Complex jobs often require quote threads, purchase orders, preflight checks, approvals, and vendor coordination.

Disconnected production status

Software platforms lack one normalized view of quote, approval, production, shipment, and exception states.

THE PRODUCT

One interface from request to shipment.

  1. 01

    Spec

    Submit product, quantity, dimensions, material, finish, deadline, destination, and artwork through MCP or REST.

  2. 02

    Quote

    Validate the specification and return a system-priced response. Never invent a price or SKU.

  3. 03

    Approve and pay

    Approve the order and receive settlement instructions through the supported payment rail.

  4. 04

    Produce

    Route the approved job into the correct production workflow, with human review for exceptions.

  5. 05

    Track

    Return normalized status events from confirmation through production and shipment.

RIGHT TO WIN

Software on top of a real production floor.

Advertek is not starting with a marketplace or a catalog mockup. Agent Rail sits on decades of commercial manufacturing experience and an operating Toronto facility. The first production node gives the software team direct access to pricing logic, artwork constraints, manufacturing exceptions, and job-performance data.

  • Real production capacity
  • In-house category breadth
  • Existing customer workflows
  • Direct access to production knowledge
  • Controlled environment for testing agent-driven orders

DEVELOPER PROOF

Built to be called, not emailed.

Agent Rail exposes catalog, quote, order, status, and webhook interfaces through MCP and REST. Examples use the real schema; no fields are invented.

NETWORK VISIONPLANNED

One production node first. A qualified network next.

Advertek is proving the system against its own operating facility. The longer-term platform direction is to route jobs to qualified production endpoints based on capability, geography, capacity, cost, service level, and performance history.
