Point of Sales (POS) software is vital for all businesses in any industry. First, they make receiving payments between the dispensary and the customer possible through dispensary POS software. Secondly, you can compile important sales and compliance data. Lastly, you can manage inventory and make real-time updates to your menu.
For the cannabis industry, unique challenges call for a dispensary POS built specifically by those who know cannabis. This is because of strict business regulations and dire compliance practices. Above all, a dispensary POS equipped for the industry’s unique challenges is key to running a smooth storefront.
To break it down a bit further, a healthy dispensary POS is like a human heart. It can pump business throughout your dispensary from seed to sale with the right tools, enable efficient budtenders, and encourage return business via promotions. To further illustrate the importance of a dispensary POS, let’s take a look at how BLAZE is the heart of a cannabis retailer below.
