Ford
Oliver Agency works with Ford on asset pack automation — QC validation and delivery to Ford's GECHUB SFTP system.
Key Takeaways
- Ford has 3 environments: PROD, EDU, QA — each has separate Box folders and SFTP targets
- Asset packs are ZIP files — QC runs 13 checks before delivery
- Ford uses GECHUB as their SFTP-based delivery system
- Box JWT service account (
ford_box_config.json) — never commit this file
- The Ford QC daemon runs as a systemd service on the production server

Ford QC Checks (13 modules)
- Image resolution, format, file size
- Layer depth, colour existence
- Linking validation
- MEC/BAU compliance
- Powertrain validation
- Lifestyle inventory
- HTML report generation
Tech Preferences
- Box API (JWT auth) — file exchange platform
- SFTP (GECHUB) — delivery system
- systemd for production daemons
- Email notifications via Mailgun
- QC profiles in JSON (configurable per asset type)
- HTML reports (not PDFs)
Quirks & Lessons
- Ranger ptvl pattern must be configurable via QC profile — don't hardcode it (fix: 2026-03-16)
- Always archive processed ZIPs immediately — daemon reprocesses if not archived
- Ford has 3 completely separate environments — changes in PROD profiles don't affect EDU/QA
- GECHUB SFTP credentials differ per environment
