Data & Analytics

Cannabis operators generate enormous amounts of compliance and transactional data. Most of it sits in METRC or a POS back office, reviewed only when an auditor asks. We build pipelines and dashboards that turn that data into something useful — margin analysis, inventory forecasting, compliance risk alerts, and operational KPIs.

We have helped dispensaries identify product categories with declining margins, cultivators optimize harvest timing based on historical yield data, and multi-state operators consolidate reporting across jurisdictions with different regulatory requirements. The common thread is reliable data infrastructure that turns raw compliance overhead into competitive intelligence.

Who this is for

Data and analytics engagements are best suited for operators who have outgrown spreadsheet reporting and need real-time visibility into their business. Typical clients include multi-location dispensary groups tracking consolidated sales, cultivation facilities monitoring environmental and yield metrics, and MSOs preparing investor reporting.

What you get

Our data engagements range from lightweight dashboard builds to full data warehouse implementations. Here are the deliverables we most commonly provide.

• Executive dashboards (sales, margins, labor)
• METRC data extraction and normalization pipelines
• Automated compliance reporting and alerts
• Inventory forecasting and demand planning models
• Custom BI layers on top of existing POS data
• Data warehouse setup and ETL maintenance

Representative tech stack

We select tools based on your data volume, existing infrastructure, and team capabilities.

From compliance to insight

METRC data is structured for regulators, not operators. We normalize plant, package, and transfer records into business-friendly formats that connect to your sales, inventory, and financial systems. The result is a single source of truth that satisfies state auditors while giving your leadership team the metrics they need to make decisions.

Our METRC pipelines handle everything from daily syncs to real-time event streaming, depending on your state requirements and operational needs. Dashboards refresh automatically and surface the metrics that matter most to your leadership team — sales velocity, margin trends, inventory turns, and compliance risk indicators. Clients who implement our reporting systems typically replace hours of manual spreadsheet work with automated, audit-ready reports.

We also build data governance into every pipeline. Access controls, change tracking, and automated anomaly detection ensure that your data remains accurate and auditable as your operation scales. For multi-state operators, we unify reporting across jurisdictions with different regulatory fields and reporting schedules, so your executive team sees one consolidated view instead of separate spreadsheets for every state.

Pricing posture

Fixed-price for dashboard builds and one-time pipeline setups. Monthly retainers for ongoing ETL maintenance, data quality monitoring, and model updates.

Data pipelines are only as good as the systems they connect to. Most analytics engagements start with custom integration work to extract data from POS, METRC, and financial platforms. Strategic leadership also helps ensure your data investments align with business priorities.
