Overcoming Information Barriers: Data Silos in the Cannabis World
As the cannabis industry rides the waves of rapid globalization and acceptance, it is evolving into a multi-billion-dollar sector. And with this sudden influx of money, has also come an influx of data.
Unfortunately, the industry is evolving and growing faster than many businesses can keep up with, leading to roadblocks and obstacles that many businesses don’t have the infrastructure in place to adapt around. One such pressing issue is the compartmentalization of data within businesses, or “data silos”
When these silos occur, information is isolated from other systems, limiting accessibility and collaboration, and making it nearly impossible for data-driven decision-making.
The implications of siloed data
Data silos often appear when various departments within a cannabis enterprise, from cultivation to processing, distribution, and even retail, employ distinct information systems. Different facets of a business often utilize different tools and solutions, each with their own data infrastructure and programming. Although taking on multiple solutions can ease the initial burden for businesses trying to build their tech stack, this approach can lead to major processing hurdles later down the road.
The biggest drawback of this isolated data environment is limiting cross-departmental collaboration. Let’s paint a scenario: without a unified data system, cultivators might not be able to synchronize their production schedules with the sales trends identified by their retail and distributor outlets. This misalignment can lead to stock shortages, resulting in lost sales and disappointed customers. Conversely, it might also lead to overproduction, and in turn expired products and heavy storage expenditures over time.
Root Causes of Data Silos in Cannabis
To tackle this challenge head-on, it’s essential to first understand where it comes from. There are several major factors that contribute to the emergence of data silos:
Segmented Business Models: As cannabis businesses expand, they often segment into specialized units. Each of these units, with their unique operational needs, can inadvertently craft their own data management methods, leading to isolated data pools. Dispensaries may be employing different systems for their point-of-sale (POS), inventory management, ordering, and digital marketing. Without integrating the above systems, managers and C-suite individuals can’t properly align their supply-chain with sales strategies. Likewise, suppliers and distributors often lack transparency between the products they’re pushing out and what’s actually selling on retail shelves.
Regulatory Complexity: The cannabis industry is heavily regulated, and these regulations can vary widely from one jurisdiction to another. A lack of central federal guidelines means each state is left up to its own devices to determine how businesses remain compliant, and this problem is only compounded as we delve down into individual counties and territories. Different stages of the supply chain also have different data they must report, making it extremely difficult for vertically integrated businesses to ensure they’re covered on all fronts. With these varying regulatory demands, different departments may adopt distinct data tracking systems, further deepening the data divide.
Industry Infancy: The relative newness of the cannabis industry means there’s a continual influx of specialized technological solutions. Very little in the industry is standardized at this point, meaning each solution has its own approach to both data governance as well as data definitions. While these tools might be tailored to address specific needs, they can sometimes exacerbate data isolation if not chosen with integration in mind.
Challenges presented by data silos
Persisting with data silos introduces several operational hurdles. On a macro scale, isolated data complicates streamlining processes across the business chain. It introduces inconsistencies, creating a ripple effect that might not only compromise the quality of end products, but the efficiency in getting them into consumer hands.
Additionally, the overhead of managing multiple data systems can strain resources, both in terms of manpower and finances. Within the tightly regulated framework of the cannabis industry, these inconsistencies can magnify into compliance violations. This can lead to hefty fines, reputational damage, or in extreme cases, business closures. It takes just one failed audit to incur devastating losses, especially for smaller businesses that lack the capital to cushion heavier blows.
Strategies to overcome data silos
Bridging the data divide demands a two-pronged approach—technological adaptations coupled with organizational cultural shifts.
Promoting a collaborative data culture: The first step is to build an organizational ethos that places immense value on data-driven decision-making. Staff and management alike need to prioritize the value of data and adopt the mindset that “data is key.”
Such a culture should incentivize cross-departmental collaborations, fostering an environment where data sharing becomes the norm rather than the exception.
Unified data systems: Technological investments play a pivotal role. By adopting systems like industry-specific ERPs or advanced data integration tools, businesses can usher in a centralized data management paradigm. Such platforms not only facilitate data integration but also enhance analytics capabilities.
Data governance: Instituting a robust data governance framework ensures there are clear policies regarding data access and manipulation. This promotes data integrity and accuracy, striking a balance between facilitating data accessibility as well as maintaining regulatory compliance.
The role of data analytics
In today’s digital age, analytics may just be the cannabis industry’s biggest ally. Contemporary analytics solutions, especially those leveraging cloud technology, offer robust platforms to centralize, integrate, and analyze data. This allows businesses to harness insights from seed-to-sale and empower their overarching business strategies. By breaking down data silos, the cannabis industry can ensure operational agility and enhance customer satisfaction, positioning itself for sustained growth in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Member Blog: Unleashing the Green Revolution – Empowering Cash Management in the Cannabis Industry with Automated Bliss
For most cannabis business owners, the abundance of cash poses a never-ending cash management challenge. Owners, staff and financial teams must navigate the complexities of managing and securing large cash volumes with limited access to banking relationships due to the federally illegal status of cannabis. Most dispensaries resort to manual cash handling and counting, however, every time cash is counted manually – typically around six times a day – dispensaries face the risk of miscounts, theft and security threats as well as challenges in tracking volumes, reporting changes and supporting audits.
Handling cash manually is inefficient and unsustainable for new and established dispensaries. Forward-thinking cannabis retailers are turning to automation solutions that transform the collection, counting and reconciliation of cash volumes in a retail setting. Cash automation offers a solid, systemic alternative to the typical cash handling processes.
One medical dispensary in D.C. incorporated cash automation to help with the time-consuming manual counts and to improve productivity. This dispensary, the largest and oldest in Washington, D.C., accounts for 54% of the cannabis sales in the city and accepts multiple payment methods. Cash comprises 40% of sales and is a major pain point for the dispensary’s managers and associates.
Since implementing cash automation solutions last year, the dispensary has improved count accuracy, reduced discrepancies and saved time for its staff, who now can service the 400 – 900 patients who visit each day instead of counting cash for hours on end. Additionally, automation has been a game changer for the dispensary’s accounting team. The finance team can view the exact volume of cash on hand remotely and in-store, informing important business decisions for cash planning, including leveraging available cash on hand for product and services payments and optimizing change order and deposit schedules to reduce armored security and bank costs. Real-time reporting and visibility empower the finance teams to manage cash operations with confidence.
Other benefits include:
User-friendly dashboard with cash flow visibility integrated with accounting software.
Notifications on urgent needs, including hardware performance issues, deposit capacity and placing change orders.
Easy, mobile access to cash balances and transaction history across multiple locations.
Customizable reporting capabilities for auditing, vendor-specific transactions and overall analysis of every transaction by user/payee, amount and date.
Security measures to ensure efficient cash counting, balancing to POS and securing cash with high-speed recyclers.
With automation capabilities, cannabis businesses can focus on operational efficiencies, bolster inventory management and systemically ensuring process compliance instead of the time-consuming counts that typically overwhelm employees. As the cannabis industry continues to evolve and expand in 2023 and beyond, embracing cash automation allows dispensaries to thrive while reducing costs and labor and maintaining control over their cash ecosystem.
Member Blog: ESG Initiatives and Potential Impacts on Cannabis CRE
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives are central to the evolving business landscape as more organizations dedicate resources to amplify their social impact, execute on purpose-driven goals, and ultimately create long-term value.
Pressure from stakeholders and shareholders has been instrumental in transforming how organizations are planning for the future. In the Accenture Future of Work Study 2021, 65% of employees believe organizations should be responsible for leaving their people “net better off” through work and 71% of consumers believe ethical corporate practices and values are an important reason to choose a brand. But even beyond this shift in demand for company transparency and a more defined investment in communities from corporations, ESG reporting will soon be a necessity for public companies and a variety of financial organizations.
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s climate-related disclosure earlier this year is a major shift in how companies will be structured requiring corporate entities to proactively integrate ESG into their business model.
Though the proposed rules will most likely lead to legal challenges, accepting the realities of where global business stands today and the environmental issues communities are facing should be at the forefront of every cannabis business, whether they are public or private. There will also inevitably be opportunities that develop from these policies to engage with stakeholders and increase value.
Recent data illustrate the positive results of adopting new standards and reporting methods. According to the Accenture Future of Work Study 81% of sustainable stock indices outperformed their peer benchmarks in 2020. ESG focuses on the Triple-Bottom-Line principles, which essentially advocates for a balance between people, profit, and planet when considering any program or project within an organization. Sustainability professionals who have been advocating for both ESG and Triple-Bottom-Line principles will likely not be surprised by these statistics, as their focus on a long-term, balanced approach to creating value can be less subject to the waxing and waning fluctuations that come with the single-bottom-line approach of focusing only on short term profit.
ESG in Cannabis Real Estate
It is essential for cannabis companies to make ESG initiatives a priority as more investors look to these frameworks as potential predictors for future success. Already some cannabis license applications are requiring environmental impact statements and state-level environmental compliance documentation.
The cannabis industry also has a unique opportunity as a relatively young and emerging industry. Many cannabis companies already have the capacity and infrastructure to adapt swiftly to changing regulations. In the new era of ESG, cannabis corporations are in the position to make these principles a part of their core narrative early on and become more attractive to investors.
In commercial real estate, here are some of the most relevant ESG initiatives to consider.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT (e.g. Utility Installation & Efficiency)
WATER & WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT (e.g. Water Use & Treatment)
PRODUCT DESIGN & LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (e.g. Building Operations)
PHYSICAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. (e.g. Indoor Air Quality)
These are based on the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board’s (SASB) materiality finder for real estate, which also provides insight across a broad range of industries for those interested in other sectors.
There are many ways to begin monitoring and collecting data that will help provide a clearer picture of a cannabis facility’s operational efficiency. For facilities already existing in the cannabis ecosystem, property owners and operators should consider investing in eco-friendly waste management initiatives, repurposing materials when possible, and ensuring recycling capabilities at every operation. Utilizing technology platforms to track water consumption and overall environmental performance will allow an operation to investigate what opportunities exist to reduce energy use by replacing equipment or introducing more natural ventilation into spaces to reduce heating and cooling use.
For those in the early stages of a cannabis real estate project, industry professionals should make ESG initiatives a part of their buildout strategy from the beginning. This means addressing the potential physical risks and impacts on a building where you’re looking to develop. Is the property in a flood zone and at risk of rising sea levels? Is the potential building site exposed to other natural disasters like wildfires?
Many of these environmental and climate-related risks also intersect on a social level. In cannabis real estate, companies should consider whether a building and its materials are safe for workers and the larger community. For example, due to changing weather patterns and increasing temperatures, air quality may decrease or there may be extended periods of drought. Planning ahead to mitigate some of these risks is essential, from considering the introduction of cisterns to collect rainwater during extreme weather that can be repurposed in drier seasons, as well as on-site green spaces and rooftop gardens that can generate cooler temperatures while providing a welcoming environment for employees.
The key to preparing for ESG requirements and ensuring that your organization is ready to tackle these issues is to incorporate these specific needs directly into project objectives and having experts on the project team that understand both short-term requirements and long-term opportunities.
Overall, cannabis real estate needs to be developed with geography and locality risks in mind. It’s not only a necessity to make energy-efficient and sustainable strategies a part of a facility’s infrastructure, but also consider where and how that property will be impacted in the future.

Member Blog: 5 Ways To Increase Operational Efficiency
by BriAnne Ramsay, CEO of RMCC, and Karen Mayberry, Marketing Director and Co-founder of Trym
In the evolving cannabis industry, companies are streamlining and optimizing their processes.
Labor is the highest expense in commercial cannabis activity across the supply chain, accounting for nearly half of production costs. For example, cannabis cultivation requires a skilled team to support production, harvesting, and processing, and packaging. As a retailer, it’s imperative to calculate labor cost per unit. When these costs aren’t accounted for, inefficiencies lead to lower margins.
Owners and managers are looking at their bottom line and strategizing on how to increase their operational efficiency. In this article, the folks behind Trym and RMCC, share their suggestions on doing just that.
Standard Operating Procedures
SOPs aren’t just for the operating license application, this is your company’s playbook. These procedures outline not what you intend to do, but what you are doing. If you change what you’re doing outside of that playbook; those SOPs need to reflect that.
How do you know your SOPs are being followed? Systems with consistent checks and balances! Data doesn’t lie!
Training and Ongoing Support
Many of us know from experience the cannabis industry has a higher employee turnover rate at 40%-60% within the first 2 months. One might infer it’s because, in a budding industry, we haven’t yet had the time or resources to focus on developing our “training departments” as large corporations have. Cannabis is busy jumping through hoops to satisfy external requirements and therefore we devote our resources to short term needs rather than investing in training infrastructures.
Maintaining a consistent, up-to-date learning strategy with executable trainingplans will help you decrease turnover – in all aspects of your operation. What experience does a new (or seasoned) employee have when coming on board or changing roles? Do they know what happens before they join the team? Day 1? Week 1? After a month? Complex roles may take up to 6 months or longer to acclimate to. If employees get frustrated early on they head out the door. What can you do to prevent this from happening?
Targeted training with ongoing support is crucial to maintain and improve efficiencies. The data shows that investing in your employees decreases turnover and in the long-term, increases your profit margins. According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies that offer comprehensive training programs enjoy a 24% higher profit margin than those who spend less on training.
Communications Strategy
Today’s world demands quick, effortless distribution of information. One way to increase everyone’s efficiency is to enable that flow of information. Decrease the frequency and length of meetings. While important for decision making and collaboration, too many meetings correlates with lower labor efficiency.
Introduce a company-wide communication tool, like Slack, to leave the inbox for truly important emails while also opening up communication between departments.
Build an intranet with internal SOPs, workflow diagrams, important announcements, checklists, etc. Provide your employees with the tools and path to success. When communication flows across departments and seniority, you get a team structure that isn’t limited by bottlenecked decision making. Leadership is more accessible and the company can act quickly, achieving optimal results.
Create incentives for your team to perform great work. Recognize their accomplishments and offer support when necessary. Positive employee morale goes a long way.
Regular Process Reviews
Implement internal checks and balances such as audits, workflows and Key Performance Indicators analysis. Consistently reviewing production data will ensure the licensee identifies their operational gaps and can adapt to more efficient and compliant workflows.
Third-party audits are great resources to identify compliance risks that may not be found through internal audits.
Monthly or quarterly reviews of standard operating procedures are recommended to verify the documents accurately reflect the physical flows and the details reported to the state agency. Perhaps the state has made changes to their regulations and SOPs need to be modified?
Software Tools That Bring Value
Software has the power to automate certain processes and save labor time. When chosen, implemented and adopted correctly, it can greatly increase company efficiency. The first step in software evaluation is identifying the challenges your company faces and the ways in which software can help. Then, evaluate each software product on how well its features and services can support your efficiency goals.
In the cannabis industry, there are many ways to enlist software to optimize workflows. There are traditional software tools like Asana and Slack for project management and internal communication. And there are industry-specific tools like Trym for METRC reporting and cultivation management or Simplifya for compliance monitoring. Check out our piece on implementing Metrc solutions for your cannabis business if you’re in a Metrc state!
