POS systems designed for other industries don’t automate compliance reporting and will cost you hours of time manually creating reports.

6. What sets Cova apart from other cannabis POS systems?

Many cannabis POS companies are tech startups with limited experience and resources. The risk: they could be bought out or go out of business at any time. While Cova has the agility and entrepreneurial spirit vital for adapting to evolving regulations and market feedback, we also have the resources and financial backing of an established company. We leverage the enterprise-capable infrastructure of our parent company, which allows us to offer the most sophisticated and secure platform in the industry.
