== Problem ==
The cannabis industry has unmet software needs. Using multiple software solutions poses huge financial & operational problems for cannabis retailers.

Traditionally, dispensaries and delivery companies have had no choice but to use multiple software platforms to run their day-to-day operations. This '''fragmented software stack''' creates silos and inefficiencies that lead to '''higher costs, operational inefficiencies, compliance risk'''—and ultimately, '''loss of revenue''' from a poor customer experience.
