Many states require seed-to-sale tracking systems that record every gram of cannabis from cultivation to sale. Effective inventory management should:
• Use state-approved software that integrates cultivation, manufacturing, and retail operations to maintain real-time inventory counts.
• Implement regular cycle counts and audits to reconcile physical inventory with system records.
• Train employees on accurate data entry and the importance of timely reporting.
• Secure inventory data through cybersecurity measures.
• Coordinate inventory control with quality control systems to track batch numbers, test results, and expiration dates.
Proper inventory management prevents diversion, supports compliance, and aids in forecasting demand.
