Cannabis POS System FAQs
What is a cannabis POS system?
A point-of-sale (POS) system is the technology (hardware and software) that a business uses to accept payment and process the transaction. Because of the additional compliance requirements for this industry, cannabis POS systems is more complex than a standard retail POS system, and they vary widely in their ability to handle these complications seamlessly from the customer’s perspective.
Why is a cannabis POS system important for dispensaries?
The point of sale is the culmination of so much that a business does (marketing, inventory management, customer service) that it makes an ideal place to integrate all of your business’ functions. A well-integrated cannabis POS system not only helps your business stay compliant, but also helps inventory management, improves current and future customer interactions, and gives your dispensary the information necessary for effective strategic planning.
What are the different parts of a cannabis POS system?
A cannabis POS system includes both software and hardware. The software can be a simple transaction manager, similar to a basic cash register, or a complex integrated suite of programs that extend to all aspects of the business from the grow house to the warehouse to the shopfront. Hardware can include customer-facing components like registers and payment terminals as well as back-office tools like inventory scanners.
How should I choose a cannabis POS system for my dispensary?
There are many cannabis POS systems to choose from, and it can be hard to find the right one for your business. Here are a few items to prioritize in making your decision:
- Compliance: Make sure your POS provides you with tools that make it easy to meet regulatory requirements.
- Customer experience: Identify a POS system that is easy and intuitive for your employees so the customer has the best experience while shopping. The POS systems must have tools to improve their experience, like a loyalty program and targeted promotions that give them savings on the items they really want.
- Functionality: Make sure that the cannabis POS system you choose has all the tools you need “out of the box,” and that you can set it up to easily access the functions you use most. Also make sure the system has the ability to expand as your business grows.
- Support: You need to know that your business won’t be paralyzed whenever there’s a problem with the system. From offline functionality to 24/7 technical support, you want to make sure you can keep doing business even when there’s a technical hiccup.
