Metrc and BioTrack announce a strategic partnership
As part of the partnership, BT Government, Inc. was established as a new company to manage BioTrack's public-sector portfolio and continue developing technology options for states.
We build and run the traceability systems that state agencies use to oversee licensed cannabis, from the first plant to the retail counter.
Inventory history
Inventory ID 4821 0937 5560 1284Each page covers the state's regulatory framework, licensing requirements and how integrators request API access.
A complete record of every plant and product is what lets a regulator act quickly, audit with confidence and collect the right tax.
When a lab logs a safety failure, such as heavy metals or an unapproved pesticide, affected inventory is locked and register sales are blocked at every retailer that holds it.
Reported inventory is reconciled against physical weights and counts. Gaps are flagged for audit teams so product does not leak into the illicit market.
The system enforces patient and consumer purchase limits at the point of sale, and every item in circulation can be traced to its batch.
Seed, clone or tissue culture through drying, extraction and transport: every change is recorded with a timestamp that cannot be edited later.
It registers, serializes and audits each cannabis unit for its whole life. Cultivators, processors and dispensaries log their activity once, and the state sees it as it happens instead of waiting for reports.
| Capability | How it works | Result for the state |
|---|---|---|
| Lab shopping prevention | Sample profiles are locked once uploaded, and failing batches cannot be sent to another lab for retesting. | Passing results and potency numbers can be trusted. |
| Open API | A hardware-agnostic API that licensee software integrates with directly. | Licensees enter data once, and the state ledger stays current. |
| Transport manifests | Every transfer gets a locked route and a digital custody record. | Product in transit is accounted for, and law enforcement can see it. |
| Tax verification | Weights and wholesale values are calculated at each transfer point. | Tax is assessed on accurate figures. |
