Q: Do you really need information about every single product I sell? That seems like a lot of work.
A: If you’ve never done a product inventory before, the task can seem daunting. However, all information we request is a part of a regular inventory audit anyway. This is your time to stay compliant or get compliant so that you don't risk losing your cannabis retail license. We’ll help with each step.
Q: Is Customer Success just another way to tack on additional expenses?
A: There are a few cases where we may need to add expenses (custom integrations, for instance), but these are rare. Almost everything mentioned in our cannabis retail onboarding guide is included in your onboarding fee. No charge for all the smiles.
Q: Why do I need to buy the hardware? Can I do everything with just one tablet?
A: When it comes to the hardware you choose to employ, be honest. Consider retail space, square footage and the number of budtenders to determine your exact cannabis retail hardware needs. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure; we can share our experience from thousands of implementations during the onboarding call.
Q: Will I need to change how I do business?
A: Not much. Naturally, there’s an element of change to any software implementation, but we are largely trying to mesh with the way you already run your cannabis retail operation. Our goal is to minimize any disruption.
