FAQ

1. How does Cova POS simplify compliance for Massachusetts cannabis retailers?

With 2-way integration to the Metrc traceability system, Cova’s cannabis dispensary software streamlines compliance reporting, and robust inventory management tools seamlessly track all sales and data required by METRC. Cova's integrated ID scanner helps in the verification of a customer’s age, and a purchase limit gauge helps budtenders keep an eye on legal buying limits. The system even has tax-inclusive pricing options. This automation reduces the risk of infractions, fines, or license suspension. The back-end Cova hub allows dispensary owners to set operational hours, establish limits on promotions, and set varying levels of employee permissions.

2. I’m a first-time dispensary owner. What help is available for new Massachusetts cannabis retailers?

Cova has helped hundreds of dispensary owners across North America launch successful cannabis businesses and worked with multi-location enterprises as well to help scale and expand their operations. We will show you how to implement cannabis retail best practices, how to operate within Maasachusetts’ cannabis regulations, how to hire and train employees, and how to avoid common compliance mistakes to avoid fines and increase profits while staying ahead of the competition. Cova has the cannabis industry-focused experience and agility needed to keep pace with evolving cannabis regulations and will be by your side with 24/7 customer support.

3. How does Cova help with inventory management to streamline MA dispensary operations?

Cova POS has advanced inventory management features like batch scanning and bulk adjustments, which save cannabis retailers time and improve accuracy. Our innovative Rooms feature lets retailers assign inventory to different locations in the same store, like the backroom or the sales floor, making it easier to manage FIFO and shelf life of cannabis products. Cova’s reorder report forecasts accurately the number of days of stock remaining so you can replenish fast-moving products efficiently and always keep customers happy.

4. Is Cova POS a seed-to-sale compliant software as per Massachusetts regulations?

Yes, in terms of seed-to-sale compliance for Massachusetts dispensaries, Cova software is 100% compliant. But don’t confuse this with “seed-to-sale” software designed for vertically integrated operations that grow, process, and sell cannabis, as Cova is built specifically for dispensary operations management. Many vertically integrated cannabis companies still choose Cova to manage retail operations since most all-in-one “seed-to-sale” software solutions prove insufficient for cannabis retail management.

5. Does Cova integrate with E-commerce and delivery platforms to enable online ordering and delivery?

Cova integrates seamlessly with all online marketplaces like Leafly, I Heart Jane, and Weedmaps, and also offers E-commerce and delivery solutions via our partners like WebJoint and Tymber. You can easily choose between the pizza delivery or ice cream truck model for your marijuana delivery services. Seamless E-commerce integrations with our POS allow you to showcase your menu, reflecting your actual inventory, on your own cannabis website with advanced native E-commerce infrastructure. Our system also offers open APIs to link to other technology solutions. These seamless integrations let you manage your inventory and E-commerce or delivery orders fulfillment directly from one place—the Cova POS.

6. What sets Cova apart from other POS systems in Massachusetts?

Cova is built specifically for the cannabis retail industry. With lightning-fast transactions, 100% uptime, and a reliable offline mode, Cova is the best-reviewed and most recommended dispensary management software system. Even on busy days like 420, Cova won’t let you down and you can always offer consumers a modern experience. With Cova, you can stand out from the competition and keep customers coming back for more by infusing technology into your daily operations, like digital signage, payment options, and mobile shopping carts. Flexible loyalty programs and integrated gift cards enable you to show love to your most loyal customers.
