Custom Software
Off-the-shelf software covers the easy 80%. The remaining 20% — the workflows that actually differentiate your operation — is where custom software pays off. We design, build, and maintain applications that fit your business instead of forcing your business to fit the software.
We have built delivery driver apps that handle real-time route optimization and compliance checks, cultivation dashboards that integrate environmental sensors with METRC plant tags, and wholesale ordering portals that connect brands with retailers across state lines. Every project starts with a detailed workflow analysis and ends with documented, tested code that your team can operate and extend.
Who this is for
Custom software is the right choice when your existing tools leave critical gaps. Common scenarios include operators managing multiple locations with inconsistent data, brands building direct-to-consumer platforms, and cultivators tracking environmental and compliance data in spreadsheets. If your team spends more time wrangling software than using it, we should talk.
What you get
Our custom software engagements are comprehensive. We handle architecture, development, testing, deployment, and handoff documentation.
- Internal dashboards and admin tools
- Native and progressive web apps
- Third-party API integrations (METRC, payment, delivery, ERP)
- Workflow automation and data pipelines
- Legacy system modernization
- White-label and B2B platform builds
Representative tech stack
We choose technologies based on your existing infrastructure, team skills, and long-term maintenance requirements. Here are the tools we use most often.
Integration expertise
Cannabis operators rely on a patchwork of systems: METRC for state compliance, payment processors for cashless transactions, delivery platforms for logistics, and accounting software for bookkeeping. We have integrated with all of the above, and we understand the edge cases that break naive integrations — rate limits, API versioning, data format changes, and authentication refreshes.
We have delivered custom systems for operators at every scale — from single-location dispensaries needing a specialized inventory tool to multi-state platforms serving thousands of daily users. Every project follows our four-phase process with milestone demos, fixed-scope proposals, and staging environments where you test before anything goes live. Our clients stay with us because our systems work on day one and scale without rewriting.
Pricing posture
Fixed-price projects for well-scoped builds. Monthly retainers for ongoing development, maintenance, and feature iteration. We do not bill by the hour.
Related services
Custom software often connects to existing POS infrastructure or feeds data into analytics dashboards. If you are building something that touches retail transactions or compliance reporting, our POS and data expertise will accelerate the project.
Common questions
When is custom software the right choice versus an off-the-shelf tool?
Custom software pays off when your existing tools leave critical gaps — multi-location data inconsistency, compliance workflows that no standard product supports, or integrations that break every time an API changes. If your team spends more time wrangling software than using it, we should talk.
What types of integrations do you build?
We have integrated with METRC, payment processors, delivery platforms, accounting software, and ERP systems. We understand the edge cases that break naive integrations — rate limits, API versioning, data format changes, and authentication refreshes.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. We build native and progressive web apps for iOS and Android. Recent projects include delivery driver apps with real-time route optimization and compliance checks, and cultivation dashboards that integrate environmental sensors with METRC plant tags.
Will we own the code?
Yes. Unless otherwise agreed in a written statement of work, custom software developed for your business is owned by you upon final payment. We use open-source, portable infrastructure so you are never locked into a proprietary platform.
How are custom software projects scoped and billed?
Fixed-price for well-scoped builds, with milestones at kickoff (40%), midpoint demo (30%), and final delivery (30%). Monthly retainers are available for ongoing development, maintenance, and feature iteration. We do not bill by the hour.
