Atlas
Canonical data · connectors · API-first

The integration hub for print data.

Atlas is the one canonical record of your print business — jobs, orders, customers, estimates, substrates, and margins — kept in sync with the MIS, ERP, and prepress tools you already run, over JDF/JMF and native connectors. API-first, hosted or self-host.

How it works

From scattered systems to one canonical record

Atlas connects to the systems you already run, ingests their events onto a canonical model, reconciles a single record per job, and serves it to your prepress tools by a stable id — so everything reads the same facts.

01

Connect

Point a connector at your MIS, ERP, or 3PL, or open a JDF/JMF endpoint. Each connector declares what it can read and write, so the integration surface is explicit from day one.

02

Ingest

Source events land on one canonical event envelope through endpoint-authenticated ingest. Atlas maps each onto the canonical model and reconciles it on a worker — replays are idempotent, so nothing double-applies.

03

Reconcile

One canonical record per job, order, customer, and estimate — with a cross-reference map back to every source system's own id. The business record becomes a single, versioned source of truth.

04

Resolve & sync

Your prepress tools resolve any record by its stable id, and write-back pushes canonical changes outbound to the systems of record. codex, lint, sift, compile, and lens all work from the same facts.

Everything a print-data hub needs

Built for web-to-print platforms, packaging houses, and prepress teams that need one trustworthy record of the business — synced with the systems they already run, without lock-in.

Canonical print-business entities

Job, order, customer, estimate, quote, substrate, shipment, and margin — modeled once, owned in one place. The business record your prepress stack never had, instead of fields parsed and dropped per request.

Cross-system references

Every canonical record carries a stable id plus a cross-reference map back to each source system's own key — MIS, ERP, 3PL, and each prepress tool. Resolve any job by one id and see where it lives everywhere.

Connectors & adapters

Native connectors for the systems print shops actually run — NetSuite, Dynamics, Amtech, Cerm, LabelTraxx, PrintEps, and a generic MIS adapter — plus JDF/JMF ingest and emit. Each declares a clear read/write capability lane.

Ingest & write-back

Source events land on a single canonical event envelope through endpoint-authenticated ingest, are mapped and reconciled on a worker, and changes push back out to the systems of record. Replays are idempotent — the same event never double-applies.

Field mapping you control

Map any source document onto the canonical model with a versioned mapping spec — saved or inline — and dry-run it before anything is written. Tenant-defined mappings handle the dialect quirks of every shop's MIS.

Tenant-scoped & audit-logged

Per-tenant isolation enforced at the database, an HMAC-chained audit trail on every change, and a versioned, content-addressed contract. Self-host the AGPL source, or use managed hosting — same model, same guarantees.

Connect everything

Built to plug into the systems you already run

Atlas augments your existing MIS, ERP, and prepress automation — it doesn't replace them. Connect once, map the dialects onto a canonical model, and keep every system in step.

MIS / ERP / 3PL connectors

Native connectors for the systems print shops actually run — NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Amtech, Cerm, LabelTraxx, and PrintEps — plus a generic MIS adapter for everything else. Pull estimates, jobs, and customers in; push status and canonical updates back out.

JDF / JMF, natively

Receive JDF job tickets and JMF messages and emit them back — the dialect quirks of Esko Automation Engine, HYBRID Cloudflow, and your MIS normalized onto one canonical model instead of parsed and dropped. The print-floor lingua franca, kept as first-class data.

Canonical event envelope

One inbound envelope shape, with a per-source adapter for each dialect — internal webhooks and external systems alike map onto it. Add a system by writing an adapter, not by reshaping the model. Endpoint-authenticated and idempotent by design.

Mappings you can dry-run

A versioned mapping spec turns any source document into a canonical entity — saved by id or supplied inline — and you can preview the result before a single write lands. Tenant-defined mappings absorb the field-naming differences between shops without code changes.
