What is Metrc Connect?

Metrc Connect provides an upgraded integration experience through expanded API capabilities and tools. Designed based on feedback from across the cannabis industry, it enables more seamless system interactions to simplify compliance.

Key benefits include:

  • Self-service portal for more control over integration management

As the leading cannabis track-and-trace provider, Metrc launched Metrc Connect this year to elevate integrations through premium features. We’re excited to leverage this new offering to better serve our customers.

Optimizing Compliance Workflows

At Distru, we use Metrc Connect in a few critical ways:

  • Performance improvements like reduced latency provide a smoother experience. With real-time data flows, we prevent inconsistencies between systems.
  • The self-service portal gives us more oversight for managing integrations as we scale to new markets.

By utilizing Metrc Connect, we’re able to optimize compliance workflows and provide timely, reliable data with expanded capabilities – all while ensuring adherence.
