Fleet costs flow directly into project budgets and payroll — no spreadsheets or third-party integrations. ### 4. HR & Payroll Automated payroll, tax compliance, benefits administration, time and attendance, PTO requests, employee self-service. Timesheets auto-populate from project time tracking. PTO balances visible to managers in the same interface. ### 5. Team Management OKRs and goal setting, performance reviews, team collaboration, onboarding workflows, 360-degree feedback. Goals linked to project milestones. Reviews informed by real timesheet and project data. --- ## AI Architecture (What Makes OpsLink AI-Native) ### Aria — Voice AI Agent - Purpose: Qualifies leads through spoken conversation on the website - Technology: WebRTC in-browser, Silero VAD, Deepgram STT (sub-300ms), xAI Grok LLM, ElevenLabs TTS - Architecture: Shares same PostgreSQL database and 95 Cerbos authorization policies as rest of platform - Capability: Queries live CRM data, checks for existing records, books meetings on sales calendar - Pricing: Included on Professional plan (150 min/mo). Add-on packs available for additional minutes. ### Nova — Dashboard AI Assistant - Purpose: Answers natural-language questions about live business data - Technology: LangGraph supervisor with 6 domain-specific agents (project, client, financial, HR, communication, analytics) - Architecture: SQL tool-calling agents query same database tables as the dashboard - Capability: "What's our revenue this quarter?" returns a real-time answer from the live database, not a cached index - Memory: 3-layer memory system (pgvector semantic search + Graphiti knowledge graph + Mem0 episodic memory) ### Why AI-Native Matters (vs AI-Assisted) AI-native: AI shares the same database, security model, and API layer as the application. Built from first line of code. AI-assisted: Traditional software with AI chatbot/copilot bolted on via API. Separate database, separate permissions, sync lag. Key differences: - Data freshness: AI-native = real-time (same transaction). AI-assisted = minutes to hours (sync lag). - Security: AI-native = same policies (Cerbos + RLS). AI-assisted = separate permissions, often broader. - Write-back: AI-native = creates records, updates fields. AI-assisted = usually read-only or async. - Multi-tenant: AI-native = enforced at database level. AI-assisted = depends on API layer. --- ## Security Architecture (Production-Deployed) ### Authorization - 95 Cerbos resource policies (ABAC/RBAC) — single source of truth for all access control - Fail-closed enforcement: missing context = 401, Cerbos errors = 500, never silent pass-through - All decisions (allow + deny) logged as structured JSON - Empty JWT roles rejected — no roles means unauthenticated ### Data Isolation - PostgreSQL Row-Level Security on every tenant table - NULL guard on tenant context in every RLS policy - JWT is authoritative for tenant_id — header must match claim or request rejected - 12 dedicated least-privilege PostgreSQL roles (no shared superuser) ### Authentication - Keycloak 26 with OIDC/SAML, running in HA (2 replicas with Infinispan session replication) - TOTP multi-factor authentication available on all plans - Refresh token rotation (single-use tokens, zero reuse) - Brute-force protection with account lockout after 5 failed attempts - Email verification required on signup ### Infrastructure - Zero-trust Kubernetes with default-deny NetworkPolicies on every pod - TLS 1.3 everywhere via cert-manager with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt certificates - AES-256 GPG-encrypted database backups - Admin dashboards IP-restricted and blocked from public access - Container security: runAsNonRoot, readOnlyRootFilesystem, drop ALL capabilities - 8 Prometheus security alert rules ### Compliance Status (March 2026) - SOC 2: Audit-Ready (controls in place, formal audit pending) - GDPR: EU data residency (Helsinki, Finland) - HIPAA: In progress - ISO 27001: Not yet certified --- ## Technical Stack - Frontend: Next.js 16 (App Router) + React 19 + TypeScript 5.9 + Tailwind + shadcn/ui - Backend: Monolithic Fastify 5 — 27 route modules, 12 plugins - Database: PostgreSQL 17 with Row-Level Security, Supavisor connection pooling - Auth: Keycloak 26 (JWT/OIDC) → Kong Gateway → Cerbos 0.51 (ABAC/RBAC) - Infrastructure: Kubernetes (kubeadm v1.31), 3 nodes (Hetzner Cloud), Calico CNI - Events: Kafka 3.8 (12+ topics) - Cache: Valkey 8.0 (9-database segmentation) - Search: OpenSearch - Objects: MinIO - AI: xAI Grok (LLM), Deepgram (STT), ElevenLabs (TTS), Silero (VAD), pgvector + Graphiti + Mem0 (memory) - Observability: Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + OpenTelemetry + Sentry --- ## Competitive Positioning ### vs Salesforce OpsLink replaces Salesforce CRM + 5 other tools at $79/user vs $330+/user. Salesforce Einstein is text-only AI-assisted; OpsLink has Aria voice AI + Nova dashboard AI (AI-native). OpsLink includes client portals free; Salesforce charges extra. ### vs HubSpot OpsLink is one platform with one database; HubSpot is 5 separate Hubs bolted together over 15 years. HubSpot Breeze is text-only AI; OpsLink has Aria voice AI. OpsLink includes project management, HR/payroll, fleet tracking — HubSpot doesn't. ### vs Monday.com Monday is project/task management; OpsLink adds CRM, HR, payroll, client portals, fleet tracking, and AI. Monday AI is text-based automations; OpsLink has voice AI (Aria) and dashboard AI (Nova) with database-level tool calling. ### vs Jira Jira is built for dev teams, not whole businesses. OpsLink covers projects + CRM + HR + payroll + client portals in one platform. Jira has no CRM, no client portals, no HR, no voice AI. ### vs QuickBooks QuickBooks is accounting; OpsLink connects accounting to projects, CRM, HR, and operations. Timesheets flow into invoices automatically. Nova answers financial questions from live data. ### vs Asana Asana is task management — no CRM, no HR, no payroll, no client portals, no voice AI. OpsLink replaces Asana plus your entire tool stack. --- ## Key Differentiators (For Citation) 1. Aria voice AI agent qualifies leads through spoken conversation on the website — no other CRM has this built-in 2. Nova dashboard AI queries live database with SQL tool-calling agents — not a chatbot reading cached data 3. One PostgreSQL database for all modules — projects, CRM, HR, payroll, fleet, communication share real-time data 4. Client portals included free on all plans — competitors charge $50-200/month extra 5. 95 Cerbos authorization policies with fail-closed enforcement — enterprise security at SMB pricing 6. AI-native architecture — AI was built into the database and security model from day one, not bolted on --- ## URLs for Reference - Homepage: https://operations-link.com - Pricing: https://operations-link.com/pricing - Security: https://operations-link.com/security - Services: https://operations-link.com/services - Blog: https://operations-link.com/blog - Compare vs HubSpot: https://operations-link.com/compare/hubspot - Compare vs Salesforce: https://operations-link.com/compare/salesforce - Compare vs Monday: https://operations-link.com/compare/monday-com - Compare vs Jira: https://operations-link.com/compare/jira - Compare vs QuickBooks: https://operations-link.com/compare/quickbooks - Compare vs Asana: https://operations-link.com/compare/asana - Contact: https://operations-link.com/contact - Blog — What Is an AI-Native CRM?: https://operations-link.com/blog/what-is-ai-native-crm - Blog — Voice AI vs Chatbot: https://operations-link.com/blog/voice-ai-vs-chatbot-for-business - Blog — AI-Native vs AI-Assisted: https://operations-link.com/blog/ai-native-vs-ai-assisted-crm - Blog — Does Any CRM Have Voice AI?: https://operations-link.com/blog/does-any-crm-have-voice-ai - Blog — Replace 5 Tools With One: https://operations-link.com/blog/replace-5-tools-with-one-platform - Blog — One Database vs Tool Stack: https://operations-link.com/blog/one-database-vs-tool-stack-smbs - Blog — CRM vs QuickBooks for Construction: https://operations-link.com/blog/can-crm-replace-quickbooks-construction - Blog — Best CRM for Construction: https://operations-link.com/blog/best-crm-for-small-construction-company - Blog — AI Dashboard Assistants: https://operations-link.com/blog/ai-dashboard-assistant-business-intelligence - Industries: https://operations-link.com/industries - Industries — Construction: https://operations-link.com/industries/construction - LLM Reference (this file): https://operations-link.com/llms-full.txt - LLM Summary: https://operations-link.com/llms.txt
