Operating systems for cannabis

What if software
worked the way you wanted?

At CannaForge we build the operating systems cannabis companies run on — cultivation, farming, processing, wholesale, and retail — from one central hub, with an AI trained on your own business.

Software by the cannabis industry, for the cannabis industry.

The whole operation, one system

We don't hand you software. We build the operating system your company runs on.

Most cannabis businesses are stitched together from a POS, a compliance portal, spreadsheets, group chats, and email. We replace the seams with one system — built around how your team actually works, wired into the tools you already have.

  • Cultivation

    Grow rooms, environment, and batches tracked from clone to harvest — wired straight to Metrc.

  • Farming

    Field operations, crop plans, inputs, labor, and harvest logistics on one board.

  • Processing

    Extraction, packaging, and lab results moving through a live pipeline with COAs attached.

  • Wholesale

    Retail accounts, orders, fulfillment, and reordering — the spreadsheet operation replaced by one platform.

  • Retail

    Sales, margin, inventory, deals, and loyalty live from the POS — on a dashboard your floor actually uses.

Across every vertical

Built for the industry, by the industry.

Cultivation, farming, processing, wholesale, retail — we build for operators in every corner of cannabis, because we run a licensed business ourselves. Whatever you do, your team gets software shaped around how you already work.

  • By people who run it. Our founder operates a licensed dispensary. Every system is built the way an operator actually thinks — fit over features.
  • One place for your team. The day-to-day — inventory, orders, tasks, alerts — in one hub instead of ten disconnected tools.
  • Shaped to your workflow. Not a rigid template. The system fits how your business already runs, in your vertical.

Your data, given a voice

An AI trained on your business.

Not a generic chatbot. An agent connected to your live feeds — sales, inventory, cultivation, orders — that has read your whole operation. Ask it anything and get a straight, grounded answer. It gives your team a full 360° view of what's happening in the store, right now.

  • Trained on your dispensary's own data, not the open internet
  • Live feeds keep every answer current to the minute
  • Anything public passes a compliance and human approval gate

In daily production

Real systems, running real cannabis businesses.

Not portfolio pieces. Software in daily production at licensed dispensaries and brands.

Operators first. Engineers by necessity.

Software by the cannabis industry, for the cannabis industry. I run technology for licensed cannabis businesses every day, so I build the way an operator thinks: fit over features, production over demos, and compliance designed in from the start.

If a dashboard or a plain rule solves it better than AI, that is what we build. Anything public gets a human approval gate, because in cannabis a wrong claim is a violation, not a typo.

AI where it helps. Traditional software where it doesn't.

Problem first, model second. If a dashboard or a rule solves it better, that is what we build.

Humans review what matters. In cannabis, a wrong claim is a violation, not a typo. Anything public gets an approval gate.

Boring and measurable wins. If we cannot test it and monitor it, it does not ship.

Quick answers.

What do you actually build?

Operating systems for cannabis companies — the software your team runs the day on. Retail dashboards, cultivation and processing tracking, wholesale back offices, and an AI trained on your own data. One hub instead of ten disconnected tools.

Do I need to know exactly what I want built?

No. Tell us what feels slow or manual. Turning that into a system design is our job, not yours.

Can you work with our POS and existing tools?

Yes. We integrate Flowhub, Dutchie-style menus, Metrc, Alpine IQ, Google Analytics, Discord, and most tools with an API. Improving what you have usually beats replacing it.

Is the AI safe for a licensed cannabis business?

It is built to be. The agent reads your live data to answer questions and surface what needs attention. Anything it drafts for the public passes a compliance check and a human approval gate before it goes out. In cannabis a wrong claim is a violation, not a typo.

How long does a project take?

An assessment takes about a week. A prototype sprint runs two to four weeks. Full builds land in six to sixteen weeks, with working software shown throughout.

Who owns the finished software?

You do. Code, data, docs, and accounts. No lock-in.

Software should work the way you want.

Show us the spreadsheet, the manual process, the tools that will not talk. We will tell you what the operating system for your business should look like.
