AI for Cannabis Retail

AI & automation for cannabis retail & cultivation operators.

Cannabis is the most heavily-regulated retail business most operators have ever run. Every plant, every gram, every transaction has to be reconciled against a state seed-to-sale system (Metrc, BioTrack, or a state-specific platform). The shops that survive don't out-grow their compliance burden; they automate it. Our work in cannabis is almost always about turning a multi-step manual reconciliation into a one-click audit-ready report.

Who this is for

The cannabis retail operators we work with

  • Single-shop dispensary operators in adult-use or medical markets
  • Cultivation-to-retail operators who control their own grow
  • Multi-state operators (MSOs) needing per-state compliance overlays
  • Owners who got into the industry from another business and are still hand-rolling their compliance
Where you're losing money

The four highest-cost workflows in cannabis retail

Compliance reporting done manually every week or month
Cost: 4-12 hours/week of staff time, plus $5K-$50K in fines per audit finding when something slips
Inventory shrink and disposal events untracked between POS and state system
Cost: Most operators we audit are off by 0.5-3% on monthly counts — that's real money plus audit risk
Cultivation yield and quality data lives in spreadsheets that don't reconcile back to retail sales
Cost: No clear view of which strain or batch is actually profitable end-to-end
Customer marketing capped by SMS restrictions and platform bans
Cost: Owned-channel marketing built right earns 5-10x more per customer than relying on Weedmaps alone

Case study

Richy Rich Cannabis Co. (New Mexico)

Full cultivation-to-retail production chain: batch → harvest → processed → master batch → product → retail. Per-master-batch lab gating and end-to-end yield reconciliation, with a hard rule that every compliance-touching feature appends to COMPLIANCE.md for the audit trail.

Outcome

Shipped 2026. Operator now has a single source of truth for state audits and inventory reconciliation, with the lab gate preventing non-compliant product from being released to retail.

Stack we typically build around

We integrate — we don't replace

  • Dutchie or Treez (dispensary POS)
  • Metrc, BioTrack, or state seed-to-sale system
  • QuickBooks Online (with cannabis-friendly bookkeeping)
  • Square (legacy operators before switching to cannabis-specific POS)
  • Custom websites + delivery menus
Frequently asked

Common questions from cannabis retail owners

Do you understand cannabis compliance specifically?
Yes — we've shipped state-compliant production tracking for a New Mexico dispensary, with per-master-batch lab gating and full audit-trail logging. We treat compliance as a hard constraint, not a feature.
Will you integrate with Metrc or BioTrack?
Yes. Most of our work uses the state system's API to pull and reconcile data, with our own database as the operational layer your team interacts with.
Can you work with a multi-state operator?
Yes — but it's a different conversation. Each state's compliance is its own integration. We scope MSO work as discrete state rollouts, not one big build.
What about payment processing?
We don't replace cannabis-friendly merchant processing (that's a banking conversation). We do build the inventory + compliance + customer layer that sits on top of whatever payment rail you use today.
