Technology & AI
AI Built for Candle Manufacturing
iCandleFlow™ pairs an open-source foundation with focused AI — assistance where it helps, automation where it counts, and your data kept yours.
AI Capabilities
Four AI Systems Doing Real Work
AI Production Assistant
A grounded copilot trained on candle-making domain knowledge that drafts purchase orders, explains QC failures, and recommends what to produce next.
CandleScan AI Vision QC
Computer-vision quality review flags frosting, sinkholes, wet spots, and label defects from a single photo — consistent QC at any volume.
Predictive Supply Forecasting
Models sales velocity against supplier lead times to forecast demand and trigger reorders before stockouts stall production.
Margin-Aware Pricing Engine
Combines true landed cost with channel and positioning signals to recommend prices that protect margin across wholesale and retail.
The Stack
Open Technology, End to End
We build with open-source first at every layer — so your operation stays portable, transparent, and affordable.
Open-Source Core
Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Node.js, and PostgreSQL — no proprietary design libraries or closed platforms.
Deploy Anywhere
Ships as a standalone build with a Dockerfile — run it on your own VPS, in Docker, or any open hosting stack.
Your Data, Yours
Formulas and production records stay in your database. No lock-in, no harvesting of your competitive edge.
Versioned by Design
Formulas and labels are versioned and never hard-deleted, so you always have a defensible history.
Quality, Built In
QC checkpoints and AI vision review make consistent quality a system property, not a hope.
AI That's Grounded
Assistants are grounded in candle-making domain knowledge and your own data — practical, not hand-wavy.
