CONNECTED BY DESIGN

One business. Shared understanding.

Explore a source, a module or an agent to see how it works with the rest of your business. Every data flow passes through the Unified API.

01 / CONTEXT

One picture, across every team.

Customers, orders and stock share a model. Everyone works from connected information.

02 / CONFIDENCE

Answers with a way back.

See the source, the relationships and the reason behind a decision.

03 / CONTROL

Your rules. Every action.

People, Scout and your AI tools work within the same permissions and approval policies.

Read the ecosystem

Sources become retained evidence through the Unified API. Interpretation and review use that same API to connect evidence to accepted facts in a shared ontology. CRM, ERP, Orders, Payments and Inventory read and update the business model through the API.

The Web app uses the unified HTTP API. Scout, ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor use MCP to reach the same capabilities. Manual edits enter through the Web app; rules and workflows also use the governed API.

Permissions and approval policies govern actions. The Unified API carries approved changes back to connected systems such as QuickBooks, Shopify, ShipStation and Gmail. Results are verified and linked to source evidence, decisions and the audit trail.

QuickBooks
See which orders are paid and which balances still need attention. Keep payments, refunds and accounting records connected, with a history of each approved update.
Shopify
Bring each sale together with its customer, available stock and delivery progress. Approved updates can return to the store.
Amazon
See marketplace commitments alongside your other sales channels, so the same stock is not promised twice.
ShipStation
Follow an order from ready to ship to delivered. Shipping updates and tracking come back to the same order your team already uses.
Gmail
See the conversation behind the order. Scout can prepare a reply using the current stock and delivery picture; your team keeps control of sending.
CSV
Turn a stock count or price list into useful business context. Keep the original file and review proposed changes before accepting them.
… More
Bring more of your business into the same picture. Explore connections for automation, shipping, warehouses, documents and your own systems.
Manual input
Capture the details only your team knows. Notes and corrections stay connected to the record, with a history of who changed what.
CRM
Give every team the whole customer story: conversations, orders, payments and promises in one connected picture.
ERP
Coordinate suppliers, purchasing and day-to-day work using the same records as sales and inventory.
Inventory
Know what you can promise. See what is on hand, what is reserved and where the next order can be fulfilled.
Orders
Follow Shopify and Amazon orders through stock allocation and ShipStation fulfillment. Customer, payment and shipping context stay together.
Payments
Connect invoices, collections and refunds to the orders they belong to. Collect by ACH or credit card through Stripe, record check payments, and reconcile approved results with QuickBooks.
Business model
Customers, orders, stock and cash share one connected picture. A configurable ontology preserves the relationships, so every team works from the same meaning.
Retained evidence
Follow an answer back to the original file, message or record. Review differences before they change the business picture.
Rules & workflows
Turn a business event into the next useful step. Your rules determine what can happen automatically and what needs approval.
Unified API
Every source, module, workspace and agent reaches the business through this API. Incoming data and outgoing actions use the same permissions, approval rules and verified results.
Workspace
Give the whole team one place to work. Review orders, stock and customer context, then approve the next step. The preview shows fictional order #1048.
MCP
Bring the AI tools your team already uses to the same business context. Each agent is limited to the access delegated to it.
Scout
Ask what changed, understand why and prepare the next step. Scout works from permitted business context and follows your approval rules.
ChatGPT
Explore questions using your connected orders, customers and stock. ChatGPT receives only the business access you grant.
Claude
Analyze the situation and prepare a plan using the same business picture your team sees, within the access you grant.
Cursor
Build custom tools and workflows around your business context. The same permissions and action rules still apply.
Stripe
Collect online payments against the right order. Payment results return to Biosphere for verification and reconciliation with QuickBooks.
Check
Keep offline payments in the same picture. Your team records and verifies a received check; this is not automated check processing through Stripe.
Governed actions
Keep control as work moves forward. Check permission, obtain approval when required, and verify the result before reporting success.

EVERY SYSTEM, ONE BUSINESS

One place that knows
your whole business.

Orders, customers, stock and accounting, connected across Shopify, Amazon, QuickBooks and your files.

  1. Business

    One order, seen across every system.

  2. People & agents

    Your team and Scout work from the same facts.

  3. Capabilities

    Every change approved and logged.

  4. Working model

    Orders, customers, stock and invoices, linked.

  5. Interpretation

    When systems disagree, you see both.

  6. Evidence

    Every number links back to its source.

  7. Sources

    Shopify, Amazon, QuickBooks, email and files.

From scattered information to coordinated work

Know what changed.
Decide what happens next.

Keep the source behind every answer.

Bring files, conversations and connected systems into one place. Follow a number back to its evidence and review conflicting information before it changes your records.

See the whole order, not one spreadsheet.

Connect products, locations, stock and reservations. Understand what is available, what is committed and where a shortfall comes from.

Give AI context. Keep authority.

Scout, your built-in AI agent, helps investigate questions and propose next steps. Your team reviews consequential actions, with permissions and history carried through the workflow.

Built around your operations

Start with the workflow that matters.

For product businesses coordinating stock, orders and people across systems: CPG brands, retailers, distributors and growers.

Start with a concrete question, such as what you can fulfill today or why two stock counts disagree. We map the sources, agree on the rules and define the first useful workflow with your team.

Book a demo

Pricing

Pricing that fits the system you need to run.

Your sources, workflows, locations, implementation and support needs shape the scope. We agree on the first phase and its pricing before work begins.

Book a demo

A few practical questions.

Do we have to replace our existing tools?

We start by reviewing the tools and workflows you already use. The first phase defines what to connect, what Biosphere will own and which systems remain in place.

Which sources can we connect?

Files, email and Shopify are starting points. The diagrams also show possible sources and AI clients; availability and the scope of each connection are confirmed for your setup.

What is Scout?

Scout is Biosphere’s built-in AI agent. It uses your permitted business context to help explain records, investigate questions and propose actions. Other AI clients can use the same permissioned capabilities through MCP.

Read the connection guide
Can AI make changes without our approval?

Permissions determine what each person or agent can do. Consequential actions follow the approval rules for the workflow, and changes retain their history.
