// Full autonomous business operation in 6 tool calls:

// 1. Create lead from inbound enquiry

Why Admin Substitute for Agents

Only Trade Platform with MCP

No other Australian trade software supports Model Context Protocol. ServiceM8, Tradify, AroFlo, simPRO — none have agent-native APIs.

Zero-Touch Onboarding

POST /api/v1/onboard creates a company, user, and API key in one call. No browser, no signup form, no email verification required.

Multi-Business Operator Mode

One agent can manage 5-10 businesses simultaneously. Switch company context, shared supplier discounts, unified portfolio dashboard.

930+ Real Supplier Products

Not fake data. Real Australian supplier catalogs — Reece, Middy's, Dulux, Bunnings Trade, and 20 more — with genuine trade pricing.

Production-Ready Infrastructure

Stripe payments, Twilio SMS, SendGrid email, rate limiting, usage quotas, audit logging. Not a prototype — a production platform.

Bidirectional Webhooks

Subscribe to outbound events. Push inbound events. Agent-to-agent communication via webhook bridge. Full event-driven architecture.

Agent Purchase Flow

Agents can discover plans, purchase subscriptions for their human operators, and manage billing — all programmatically.
