Cannabis dispensary owners are faced with business challenges unlike any other industry due to constantly changing regulations. Cannabis industry technology companies like Flowhub, GreenTill, & Treez offer POS platforms. These software systems come prepared to keep your cannabis business profitable and compliant in a new and fluid market.
In this two part miniseries, we’ll explore 8 different dispensary retail specific point of sale systems. These systems can streamline and improve your operations significantly:
1. Flowhub

BLAZE is now one of the only cannabis software systems available in both Canada and the United States. Their cannabis inventory management program compliantly sells to both adult use and medical cannabis customers.
“Acquiring Greenline adds value to prospective clients by giving them the ability to expand their footprint into the U.S. or Canada using the same software provider,” said BLAZE CEO Chris Violas.
With the Greenline cannabis POS, transactions are kept stress-free with their customer age restriction display and cannabis weight calculations. Honoring purchase limits, the system automatically blocks any transaction over 30 grams. Layering Stemless on top of Blaze’s POS system allows customers to seamlessly collect loyalty points through your dispensary’s points program. They can then check their points balances and redeem rewards from the comfort of their homes.
