GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) Announces AI Agent CPG Knowledge Graph and Agent Skills; Signs Definitive Asia-Pacific Joint Venture

Published

First-of-its-kind in agentic CPG procurement — Knowledge Graph, AI Agent Skills and Global Rollout

TORONTO and BARCELONA, SPAIN and SYDNEY, June 29, 2026 /CNW/ – GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC), a leader in AI Agents for CPG manufacturers, today announced the launch of the industry’s first CPG Knowledge Graph paired with AI Agent Skills — purpose-built to accelerate product discovery, qualification, and ordering in an agent-driven retail procurement ecosystem.

The CPG Knowledge Graph acts as a comprehensive, real-time map connecting thousands of makers, retail banners, markets, and procurement rules. Complementing it are Agent Skills — compact, verifiable files that make SKUs AI-orderable (AIO). These skills load in sub-milliseconds, translating complex procurement playbooks into deterministic ACM-68000 status codes that buyer agents already understand.

Together, they deliver fast, accurate qualification, seamless GSC Navigator human-in-the-loop escalations, and reliable progression from discovery to shelf — giving CPG makers a decisive edge in the agent-driven sell side.

“Without a Knowledge Graph and Agent Skills, AI agents operate blind — burning tokens, guessing at eligibility, and struggling to reach the right retail buyer,” said Matthew Keddy, CEO of GreenCore Solutions Corp. “We mount a manufacturer’s SKU portfolio onto a dedicated GSC AI Agent that sells into retailers’ buy‑side procurement agents; buying is rapidly becoming agent‑led, so we put a manufacturer’s AI Agent on the other side of every request–with a human in the loop for every purchase order.”

On June 3, 2026, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince announced that AI agent traffic had surpassed human traffic for the first time (57% vs. 43%). GSC’s infrastructure is purpose-built for this shift, equipping CPG manufacturers with the AI Agents, CPG Knowledge Graph, and Skills needed to win in AI procurement with retail grocery and convenience store chains globally.

GSC’s CPG Knowledge Graph and Agent Skills now deliver over 300 million datapoints of global coverage. Knowledge Graph v3.0.1 with SPARKS is already deployed internally. SPARKS resolves pack and size by market and product type, transforming eligible products into immediately orderable ones. A new generation of packaging intelligence will ship this fall as installable Agent Skills, making products faster to find, qualify, and order.

The Joint Venture.

On June 16, 2026, GSC announced it had signed a Letter of Intent to form GSC Agentic Pty. Ltd., a regional joint venture bringing its AI Agent Fleet to Hygiene, Beauty and Personal Care (BPC) and CPG makers across Australia and Asia. That agreement is now definitive. Under it, GSC contributes the AI Agent Fleet, Knowledge Graph, Agent Skills, and operating know-how; the regional partner handles in-territory formation, sales, onboarding, and support. GSC Agentic Pty. Ltd. holds exclusive sales rights for BPC and CPG customers across Australia and Asia.

“GSC Agentic Pty. Ltd. takes our live AI Agent fleet across Australia and Asia,” said Matthew Keddy, CEO, GreenCore Solutions Corp. “With our global Crunchbase.com rank (3,009), GSC places 17th in Australia, 24th in South Korea, 31st in Japan, and 39th in Singapore — and ranks #75 of 192,338 companies in Canada. Now we’re putting that infrastructure on the ground with scale for our CPG customers.”

“The AI procurement economy has arrived, and manufacturers need to be ready. As retailers increasingly deploy AI buying agents, products must become AI-discoverable and AI-orderable to remain competitive,” said Brendan Farrugia, Director, GSC Agentic Pty. Ltd. “GSC Agentic enables manufacturers to deploy enterprise-grade AI Sales Agents as a managed service–without building or managing the IT themselves–having experienced people overseeing every purchase order. We expect rapid adoption across Australia and Asia-Pacific as manufacturers move to secure an early advantage in this new era of AI-driven commerce.”

Banks risk losing the commercial spend relationship as finance moves beyond traditional banking

Australian fintech Inlogik appoints Charles Crane as CEO to lead its next phase of growth

SYDNEY, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The commercial banking battleground is shifting.

Increasingly, the question is not just who holds the account or processes the transaction. It is who owns the experience around commercial spend, payments, approvals, controls, data and decision-making.

As embedded finance, B2B payments, AI and workflow automation reshape commercial banking, banks need to move beyond standalone portals and products and become part of the everyday systems where businesses manage financial decisions.

Australian fintech Inlogik today announced the appointment of Charles Crane as Chief Executive Officer, with the leadership transition reflecting the company’s next phase of growth and its focus on helping banks compete in this changing market.

“The real risk for banks is not losing the payment,” Crane said. “It is losing the customer relationship around how commercial finance is managed, approved, controlled and understood.”

“Businesses increasingly expect banking to be embedded into the workflows they already use. The banks that deliver connected financial experiences, not just payment infrastructure, will be the ones that strengthen customer relationships over the next decade.”

Fintechs and software platforms are moving quickly into those workflows. Banks still own much of the underlying financial infrastructure, but others are increasingly shaping how customers experience it.

Crane said this is not just a threat for banks. It is also a major opportunity.

“Banks already have what customers value most: trust, capital, treasury expertise, regulatory capability and long-standing relationships,” he said. “The challenge is connecting those strengths into the way businesses now operate, so commercial banking becomes more connected, more intelligent and increasingly autonomous.”

For more than 30 years, Inlogik has partnered with banks, issuers, enterprises and government organisations to modernise commercial finance through commercial card management, B2B payments, expense management, workflow automation and embedded banking capabilities.

Today, the company is expanding its Spend Platform into a connected commercial finance platform that brings together payments, cards, policy controls, approvals, AI-assisted decisioning and financial insights in one ecosystem.

The aim is simple: help banks deliver fintech-quality customer experiences without replacing core banking infrastructure or compromising governance, resilience and trust.

Richard Eskell, who has led Inlogik for more than three decades, will transition to the role of Founder and Board Director.

“Commercial finance has evolved from an operational function into a strategic capability that influences customer experience, governance and financial performance,” Eskell said. “Charlie has played a significant role in shaping our long-term strategy, and I have complete confidence in his leadership as Inlogik enters its next phase of growth.”

Crane said artificial intelligence will accelerate the transformation of commercial banking, but only where it delivers practical outcomes for banks and finance teams.

“AI is not about replacing finance professionals or creating more complexity,” he said. “It is about helping organisations reduce friction, improve compliance and make better financial decisions. Over time, financial systems will move beyond automation towards trusted autonomous decisioning, with clear policy, controls and human oversight.”

Looking ahead, Crane expects commercial finance to become more embedded, connected and workflow-native.

“The question is not whether commercial finance becomes more intelligent,” he said. “It is whether banks remain at the centre of that experience as financial decision-making moves into the business systems their customers already use. The institutions that combine trusted banking infrastructure with intelligent software will define the next era of commercial banking.”

About Inlogik

Inlogik specialises in commercial spend, helping banks, businesses and finance teams, manage card programs and B2B spend with more clarity and less complexity.

Built on more than three decades of experience operating inside real banking infrastructure, Inlogik’s Spend Platform connects card solutions, expense solutions, approvals, analytics, AI-guided automation, and embedded banking experiences into one proven ecosystem.

Designed for financial institutions and the corporates they serve, Inlogik helps organisations strengthen governance, improve visibility, reduce friction, and move forward with confidence.

Charles Crane is available for media interviews on:
