SINGAPORE, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NCS today announced an expanded Sunshine.AI suite of sovereign, enterprise-grade AI platforms and products, formed new sector-specific partnerships, and committed to training next-generation AI talent. Together, these enable organisations to move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale transformation with the speed, security, and governance they need. The initiatives were unveiled at its annual technology forum, NCS AI Impact 2026.

NCS CEO Sam Liew said, “The real opportunity isn’t incremental improvement. It’s redesigning core operations for exponential outcomes. To deploy AI at scale, organisations need the right partners: those who combine deep industry expertise with enterprise-grade, sovereign platforms built for real-world governance and security. They also need a strong ecosystem behind them. As an AI-led tech services company, this is exactly what we have built NCS to do. As Singapore advances its national AI agenda, we are committed to helping our clients turn that ambition into real, measurable outcomes.”

To enable enterprise-wide AI transformation, NCS brings together platforms, products, specialist talent, industry partnerships, and practical implementation experience. As a result, clients can put AI to work better, faster, and safer, with security and governance built in from the start.

Enterprise-ready platforms and products to put AI into production

For organisations that need to deploy AI within their own environments while maintaining full data control, NCS’ expanded Sunshine.AI suite provides sovereign, enterprise-grade AI with safety, governance, and compliance built in from day one. Built by practitioners for practitioners, the multi-model and multi-modal portfolio spans an AI foundational platform to Physical AI. This includes:

Sunshine.core: the AI foundational platform to build and operate production-grade AI agents. Its library of reusable, mix-and-match components means teams do not need to rebuild common infrastructure.Sunshine.builder: an AI-powered application that lets business analysts build software applications without writing code, translating business requirements into working systems, allowing users to define what they need, analyse how it will work, validate that it meets their requirements, and deploy solutions.Sunshine.chilliclaw: an enterprise-ready AI assistant that embeds agentic intelligence directly into the software employees already use – from productivity suites to business systems such as ERP.Sunshine.commanderAI: a Physical AI platform that connects AI with real-world robotics, it acts as a single command centre for multi-vendor robot fleets, with safety and security controls built for deployment at scale.  NCS also launched RAMP (Robot and AI in-Motion Programme), a by-invitation sandbox where NCS, AWS Generative AI Innovation Centre (GenAIIC), Dell Technologies, and NVIDIA collaborate to build client solutions across Public Safety, Smart Buildings, and Physical Operations.Sunshine.guardian: NCS’ AI safety and assurance engine for agentic AI in production. It follows a simple cycle: watch each agent closely, test it by simulating real attacks, and fix any issues automatically. Along the way, it produces audit-ready records that meet trusted standards.

NCS has also upgraded its proven tools with agentic AI capabilities: Sunshine.coder, which has lifted developer productivity and quality by 15%; Sunshine.operations, which has cut IT incident escalations by 40%; Sunshine.productivity, which saves employees over two hours a week. These upgrades are complemented by Sunshine.kaisense, NCS’ advanced video AI platform for real-time monitoring and analysis.

Sector and technology partnerships

NCS is deploying AI in sectors where it must prove it works under real-world constraints – including healthcare, transport, and education. From helping patients recover faster, to closing learning gaps for students and freeing clinicians from routine work, these partnerships combine the sector’s domain knowledge with NCS’ technology expertise. These demonstrate how AI can deliver measurable outcomes in high-stakes regulated environments, beyond controlled pilots.

Together, they give NCS and its clients access to a comprehensive range of technologies from across the global AI landscape.

Talent and skills partnerships

Scaling AI requires leaders who can combine their deep domain expertise with AI fluency. In support of Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0, NCS is building this combination from early-career professionals to C-suite leaders to develop AI talent at every career stage.

For Senior Leaders: NCS is partnering with leading institutions – Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), NUS School of Continuing and Lifelong Education (SCALE), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), represented by SJTU Asia-Pacific Graduate Institute, and AI Singapore (AISG), to develop and deliver a range of Applied AI masterclasses. Designed for senior executives, the curriculum addresses the practical challenges of deploying AI at scale, featuring role-specific courses such as AI Economics for finance leaders and AI Governance for risk leaders.For Specialist AI Talent: NCS has partnered with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to accelerate its AI transformation and sharpen its competitive edge. Through targeted workforce development, NCS will hire more than 130 AI practitioners over three years, building advanced and differentiated AI capabilities in its AI Central team, as well as specialised expertise in its sectoral teams for Singapore’s connectivity sector. 

A practitioner’s guide to ’10X’ AI returns

NCS today also released the NCS AI Playbook – a practitioner-led blueprint distilled from more than 100 AI projects. It is organised around two questions every enterprise must answer: “Are we doing the right things, and are we doing things right?”

Key points include:

The 3R Framework reframes AI from cost-cutting to value creation: Return on Customer, Return on Employee, and Return on Future.The Five U’s of Failed AI name the root causes of stalled programmes: Unclear cost, Unchanged business processes, Unready data, Ungoverned agent development, and Unknown security and safety risks.The Four Execution Pillars – Cheaper, Better, Faster and Safer – operationalise AI with rigour.Cheaper token strategy and model selection: Every task consumes tokens, and costs compound when left unmanaged. Treating tokens as a managed cost on the balance sheet, monitored and controlled rather than left to run, and matching each task to the right-sized model instead of defaulting to the priciest frontier model, cuts costs by up to 82% and speeds up responses by three to ten times.Better AI-ready data and workflow redesign: AI is only as reliable as the data behind it, so grounding AI in clean, well-governed data sharply reduces the errors and hallucinations that erode trust and create business and legal risk. The biggest gains then come not from bolting AI onto legacy processes, but from reimagining the workflow itself, targeting the right use cases first.Faster NCS AI accelerators: Rebuilding components that already exist elsewhere wastes a substantial share of project effort. NCS’ reusable, pre-tested building blocks cut this out, so teams build once and deploy many times.Safer built-in assurance: As AI begins to act and not just advise, it becomes both a target and a potential threat actor. Safety guardrails and AI-against-AI cyber defence, applied from day one, protect against a fast-evolving threat landscape.

Applied together, these pillars unlock the highest returns, moving enterprises away from low, short-term ROI towards long-term transformative growth. The platforms, partnerships, and talent programmes launched today put these practices into action.

Underpinning these initiatives is a new operating structure that brings sector expertise closer to clients. NCS has reorganised into 10 industry-specific Operating Groups, supported by two Service Organisations: Applications and Communications Engineering (ACE) for AI-agent-led delivery, and Digital Resilience (DR) for secure and resilient operations. This structure is anchored by the newly created AI Central team, which drives strategy, accelerates innovation, and ensures the safe and responsible adoption of AI across the organisation.

GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) Goes Live with AI Orderability (AIO) Agents for Commerce Marketplaces

AI Agents for CPG and Beauty & Personal Care brands on the SM-AMP-CPG standard, human in the loop on every order

VANCOUVER, BC and SYDNEY, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GreenCore Solutions Corp. (“GSC” or the “Company”), AI Agents that sell Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Beauty & Personal Care (BPC) brands into retail grocery procurement, today announced the AI Orderability (AIO) Agent Class — a new class of AI Agent that makes BPC brands discoverable and orderable across marketplace commerce — launching with GSC Marketplace, live at gsc-marketplace.ai.

BPC brands sell through two main B2B channels: retail grocery — physical shelves, stocked through professional procurement — and marketplace commerce, the operator-run platforms where third-party brands sell online. Marketplace commerce clears more than US$3.8 trillion a year in gross merchandise value — roughly two-thirds of everything sold online — and every operator behind that number runs a sourcing team. Those human-led teams are putting AI Agents on buy-side discovery right now, across the United States, Latin America, Asia, and Europe & the UK.

Gartner predicts that by 2028, 90% of B2B buying will be AI-agent intermediated — moving more than US$15 trillion of B2B spend through AI agent exchanges. A brand a sourcing agent cannot resolve is a brand that doesn’t get bought.

An AIO Agent is shelf space for machine buyers — with humans signing. A sourcing agent in Seoul or São Paulo calls the machine door at mcp.gsc-marketplace.ai — a live MCP server, shipping with Agent Skills on board — and the brand answers: classified, jurisdiction-resolved, terms stated, identity cryptographically proven. A record, not a listing. Discovery becomes orderability; orderability becomes orders. It runs on an agentic, published standard — SM-AMP-CPG, the Agentic Marketplace Protocol for CPG, live at sm-amp-cpg.org. A standard, not a silo — no carrying buckets of water up a bell tower for every process. One record, and each question flows to the smallest surface that answers it, once, deterministically. This is the GSC Agentic Fabric.

The fleet answers from inside the buyer’s own market: AIO Agents run live now on Microsoft Azure across ten host jurisdictions in nine regions — South Central US serving the United States and Mexico, Brazil South, France Central, UK South, Germany West Central, Central India, Southeast Asia (Singapore), Japan East, and Korea Central. Across both classes, GSC AI Agents run resident in 18 countries on 18 Azure regions plus Google Cloud — live fleet data at mcp.gsc-fleet.ai/stats.json. GSC is a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner.

The AIO Class is the second shelf GSC operates. GSC’s Carrier AI Agents already run the first — retail grocery procurement across 15,688 banners, 3.29 million points of sale, 50 markets, a human signature closing every purchase order. Two shelves. One brain: the CPG Knowledge Graph — 38,350 BPC brands, 2 billion datapoints, served live at mcp.cpgknowledgegraph.ai. Settlement is machine-native too: GSC Marketplace carries a live x402 rail, every settlement flowing to the human-staffed GSC Trading Desk. A human reviews and signs every order.

“At GSC, we now operate two vital agentic commerce surfaces for our cosmetics brand customers,” said Matthew Keddy, CEO, GreenCore Solutions Corp. “The first of the great marketplaces took four years in the late 1990s to reach 10 million customers. At GSC, 120 days in, we eclipse 15 million inbound AI Agent transactions a month — roughly six every second. Retail grocery procurement, where our Carrier AI Agents already run the shelf — and discovery and orderability, now brought to marketplace commerce with the AI Orderability (AIO) Agent Class. When the sourcing AI Agents operate, BPC brands are found, resolved, and orderable.”

The proof runs in public: elyssah.ai, GSC’s proto-agentic brand case study, carries the entire rail live — graded Level 5 Agent-Native on every page load. 15 million AI Agent transactions a month says the buyers already showed up.

Discover. Decide. Deliver. Start at gsc-marketplace.ai.
