FAQ

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

Cova's integrated ID scanner verifies customer age and flags invalid or expired medical marijuana cards. A purchase limit gauge helps budtenders keep an eye on legal limits, and won’t let them sell oversell. This automation greatly reduces human error and the risk of infractions, fines, or license suspension. The back-end Cova hub allows dispensary owners to set operational hours, establish limits on discounts, and set different levels of employee permissions.

2. What level of integration does Cova have with BioTrack?

Cova offers full API integration and 2-way sync with BioTrack, the state marijuana traceability system in New Mexico. All sales and refunds are reported as per state requirements. All inventory adjustments made in Cova POS are also synced automatically with BioTrack. Seamless integration means time-saving automation that reduces manual work and human error. You can use any cannabis POS that integrates with BioTrack and don't have to necessarily use their POS system.

3. What hardware and operating system does Cova use?

Cova POS uses a back-end web-based hub and a front-of-house touchscreen sales tool for budtenders. The back-end management portion will run on any device you choose to access it from (PC, Mac, laptop, desktop). The budtender sales tools run on Android tablets, which can free your sales team from behind the counter to meet customers anywhere on the floor as they shop, and even take orders on the go, reducing the wait time for customers. Cova makes hardware recommendations rather than selling you a specific tablet, so you can shop for the best price and right fit for your dispensary. 


4. Why is Cova eCommerce better than online menu providers?

An integrated cannabis eCommerce solution like Cova eComm provides a seamless user experience, allowing customers to browse, add items to the cart, and complete purchases within a single platform. It also facilitates centralized management, and dispensaries can easily update product listings, inventory levels, pricing, and other crucial information from a single administration panel. However, most importantly, a native eCommerce solution like Cova allows Google to crawl your dispensary menus and website, making your business appear in organic search results, which augments your product SEO efforts, unlike with a third-party online menu provider that uses iFrame menus.

5. What kind of training and ongoing support does Cova offer New Mexico dispensaries?

Cova is known for and most recommended for its unparalleled support. Our launch team offers comprehensive software training and goes above and beyond to set you up for success. We share expert insights and industry best practices learned from working with hundreds of cannabis retailers across North America. We’ll tell you the mistakes to avoid and set you on course with confidence from tech recommendations to operational strategies. From launch day to everyday operations, our ongoing support team is available via phone, chat, or e-mail, with remarkable response time (an average of 51s) and we’re always on-call 24/7 for emergency support.

6. How does Cova POS help with inventory management and auditing?

Cova POS is optimized for inventory management with convenient features like batch scanning and bulk adjustments, saving New Mexico retailers a lot of time and improving accuracy. Cova’s reorder report forecasts days of stock remaining so you can replenish fast-moving products efficiently. Our innovative Rooms feature lets retailers assign inventory to different locations in the same store, like the back room and the sales floor, making it easier to manage FIFO and count products come auditing time.

7. Do Cannabis Retailers in New Mexico Need to Use BioTrack POS?

No, cannabis retailers in New Mexico are not required to use the BioTrack POS system. You can select any point of sale (POS) system, as long as it integrates with BioTrack.

However, choosing a cannabis-specific POS, like Cova POS, has clear advantages. With features like a built-in ID scanner for quick check-ins, seamless inventory management, and lightning-fast transactions, Cova streamlines operations and enhances customer interactions. Plus, it delivers actionable business insights to improve efficiency, from scheduling budtenders to optimizing inventory for better turnover.
