The State Traceability System vs. The Commercial System

As one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States, cannabis poses a challenge for lawmakers and operators alike. Still in its infancy, the cannabis industry has strict rules and regulations that are constantly in flux and differ from state to state. Most states have adopted what is known as a state traceability system that is mandatory for all licensees to use. And while this software ensures your compliance with state laws, it doesn’t automatically keep track of key data points or help you grow your company. This is why investing in a commercial system should be a priority for every cannabis business.

Using the right commercial software is the most effective way for operators to run an efficient and successful company. BioTrack’s commercial system not only automates the reporting process to the state traceability system, but also offers industry-leading business solutions. Our commercial system is compliant with each state’s requirements and integrates with all state traceability systems currently in operation.

How BioTrack’s State Traceability System Works

The purpose of a state traceability system is to allow state governments and regulators to track and monitor each marijuana plant from the early stages of cultivation until the point it is purchased. The seed-to-sale software collects and analyzes compliance data, reporting the necessary information to state officials. States utilize this software for many reasons, including:

• Prevent diversion to the black market

• Determine how much tax revenue to collect

• Facilitate product recalls

Currently, there are 11 states that use BioTrack’s track and trace software. In these respective states, it’s mandatory for every cannabis business to report specific data points to the state traceability system.

While our state traceability system allows you to remain compliant, it isn’t a business tool. This is where our commercial software enters.

How BioTrack’s Commercial Software Works

Most states don’t require cannabis businesses to utilize commercial software, so it’s up to each company to decide what system—if any—they use. Biotrack’s commercial system is designed to pair well with any state traceability system, and works especially well paired with our own. This is because our two systems fully integrate, streamlining the compliance, reporting, and management processes.

BioTrack’s commercial solution is a business platform designed to help operators run a more productive and profitable enterprise. It provides management tools for products and inventory and provides robust data insights. Some benefits of our software include:
