Cannabis Barcode Scanner: Seed-to-Sale Tracking Solution

How to Get Started with Cannabis Tracking

Why track cannabis products?

Cannabis laws in the US are evolving rapidly, with 18 states permitting recreational use and 35 allowing medical marijuana. Strict regulations must be followed to protect growers, dispensaries and customers.

A cannabis barcode scanner simplifies inventory management and record-keeping, providing accurate audit trails for every plant, batch, and sale. This helps businesses comply with their state cannabis regulations.
