Seed-to-sale tracking for state cannabis regulators

We build and run the traceability systems that state agencies use to oversee licensed cannabis, from the first plant to the retail counter.

Why traceability matters

A complete record of every plant and product is what lets a regulator act quickly, audit with confidence and collect the right tax.

Product recalls

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.

Diversion

Reported inventory is reconciled against physical weights and counts. Gaps are flagged for audit teams so product does not leak into the illicit market.

Purchase limits

The system enforces patient and consumer purchase limits at the point of sale, and every item in circulation can be traced to its batch.

Audit trail

Seed, clone or tissue culture through drying, extraction and transport: every change is recorded with a timestamp that cannot be edited later.

What seed-to-sale software does

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.

  • Sales and inventory tracked in real time
  • APIs for exchanging data between agencies and licensee software
  • One secure system of record

What the system enforces

CapabilityHow it worksResult for the state
Lab shopping preventionSample 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 APIA hardware-agnostic API that licensee software integrates with directly.Licensees enter data once, and the state ledger stays current.
Transport manifestsEvery transfer gets a locked route and a digital custody record.Product in transit is accounted for, and law enforcement can see it.
Tax verificationWeights and wholesale values are calculated at each transfer point.Tax is assessed on accurate figures.
