The strongest software integrations in the cannabis industry!

The History of Distru Developing Integrations

Distru has been building powerful partnerships and integrations with cannabis tech companies since Day 1.

One of Distru's early wins was building a LIVE two-way integration Metric, the platform that cannabis businesses in most states are required to use for track and trace compliance reporting. 

With this integration, our software ensures that transferring information from Distru to Metrc is a breeze, without the need to double enter data. Our Metrc integration helps cannabis businesses check all the boxes for state regulations without adding extra hours of work to their day.

Since then, Distru has continued teaming up with other major cannabis tech companies, such as Trym, LeafLink, Dutchie, Treez, and BLAZE. These alliances result in integrations that address many of the issues that cannabis businesses face, from managing post harvest processes to streamlining retail intake for dispensaries. 

Part of our strength is remaining flexible and agile in order to adapt to the cannabis industry’s needs. We’ve demonstrated our commitment to making our software an all-in-one solution for cannabis businesses of all sizes.

How Cannabis Software Integrations Can Transform Your Day-to-Day Operations

Using cannabis software solutions as part of your day-to-day operations can change how your business runs for the better. It makes things smoother, optimizes how work gets done, and in the end, helps your business grow and become more profitable.

Types of Cannabis Tech Companies

If you're running a cannabis business and want to give it a tech boost, you'll have many solutions to choose from.  It's super important to understand the different types of cannabis tech companies out there. So, let's break down some of the main you may come across:

Cultivation Technology Providers

These cannabis tech companies focus on creating solutions that will help you grow your plants better, faster, and more efficiently. If you're cultivating cannabis, these companies will provide real time grow analytics, cultivation sensor data, and nutrient management solutions you'll need to grow beautiful and high-quality flowers, for example.

Basically, they're here to help you get the most out of your crops. 

Seed-to-Sale Software Providers

As their name suggests, these companies build platforms that can help you track your cannabis products through the supply chain every step of the way (from seed to sale).

Seed to sale software providers create solutions that can help you stay on top of inventory management and reporting, which is essential for regulatory compliance. With these tools, you can keep track of your cannabis products from the moment you plant the seed to the moment it's sold.

Dispensary Management Platforms

The most commonly used platform for dispensary management is a cannabis point of sale (POS) system. Running your dispensary is a breeze when you use a cannabis POS. These solutions are equipped with features and integrations that will facilitate your day-to-day operations, such as:

  • B2C menus and order tracking
  • Tools for inventory management
  • Integrations with customer relationship management (CRM) software
  • Features designed for compliance
  • Reporting and analytics

Utilizing a cannabis POS system is vital for a dispensary's success. This is why Distru has built integrations with the major cannabis POS systems in order to streamline the retail intake process for our customers.

Delivery and E-commerce Platforms

These cannabis tech companies have one goal: making online ordering and delivery as easy as possible for your customers.

Their solutions often let customers handle the entire buying process on your website by allowing them to browse products to choose their favorite ones on just one page, place orders online, and even schedule deliveries.

With these companies' tools, buying cannabis can be as convenient, quick, and easy as ordering pizza!

Regulatory Compliance Solutions

It's no secret that the cannabis industry is highly regulated. This has created the need for regulatory compliance software tailored specifically for tracking and tracing cannabis.

Cannabis compliance software helps you manage licenses and permits, track your operations from seed to sale, report on your activities in real time, document everything you may need to prove you're compliant, and prepare to pass audits with flying colors. 

Ancillary Service Providers

Do you need extra support to run your business? That's what these cannabis tech companies offer!

These solutions are built to aid with those tasks that don't require touching the plant. This includes marketing, payment processing, security, logistics, and consulting services. Although they won't plant your cannabis for you, these tools will act as the support system for the entire cannabis ecosystem. 

Do you see how many cannabis software companies are there? Perhaps you won't need them all, but understanding the different types and what they offer will equip you with the necessary information to make smart choices about your tech arsenal. That means you'll be able to pick the solutions that can really help you grow your business in the fast-paced cannabis world.

Cannabis Tech Companies that Distru Integrates With 

Our team of cannabis industry veterans and software engineers work hard in order to provide the cannabis industry with cutting edge integrations. We believe in creating a software environment where cannabis operators don’t need to rely on “all-in-one” solutions, but rather can pick and choose the software that works best for them. It’s Distru’s role as the central hub to ensure we can connect the dots between those systems to create a seamless experience.

Now without further ado, let’s go over the cannabis tech companies that we’ve built integrations with!

Metrc 

The Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance, AKA, Metrc. You’ve heard of them right?

Metrc is behind the track and trace software that cannabis businesses need to use (in the majority of states) to monitor their operations from seed to sale.

From monitoring those budding beauties in your grow rooms to managing your inventory with unbeatable precision and even ensuring your deliveries arrive on time and in tip-top shape, data is tracked in Metrc in order for cannabis operators to stay compliant. And here's where Distru steps in. By integrating directly into Metrc’s system, we make it easier to transfer and sync data between the two platforms.

Manual double data entry becomes a thing of the past. Our solution takes the stress out of compliance processes and makes regulatory reporting a piece of cake for cannabis businesses. And as you can say goodbye to manual data entry, you'll reduce the risk of those pesky little errors that often cause you headaches. Less errors and time saved, that’s a win-win! 

LeafLink 

Think of LeafLink as an Amazon-like marketplace where wholesalers, growers, and sellers make business-to-business wholesale transactions.  With its easy-to-use interface and online marketplace businesses can up advertise their products to a new set of operators and generate new business.  Some of the tools that LeafLink provides include easy inventory updates, streamlined order management, comprehensive data and insights, high-quality educational resources, and robust pricing tools.

Distru’s integration with LeafLink will keep a real-time sync of inventory levels and enhance order tracking, getting a full picture of what's going on behind the scenes and helping you make smart decisions to boost your profits.  Together, Distru and LeafLink can help you keep track of inventory, streamline order management, and make order fulfillment a faster and smoother process.

Distru and Dutchie want to make things easier for cannabis dispensaries and retailers. Dutchie found a way to simplify order fulfillment, inventory control, and customer management processes. Distru seamlessly connects this online ordering platform with an all-in-one seed-to-sale solution, helping cannabis business owners ensure accurate product availability, get a holistic view of their operations, and tailor marketing campaigns to draw the ideal customers, and make data-driven decisions. All this means more sales and happy customers!
