For licensed cannabis retailers that look to minimize time-consuming manual entry of incoming products, LucidRetail provides automatic inventory management and integration with your POS system. Use of the LucidRetail App eliminates manual entry errors and allows an entire case of items to be scanned with one scan of a Lucid CaseID. Once a CaseID is scanned, you can manage inventory alerts and automatic order refills with integration to distributors’ enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and/or warehouse management system (WMS). The LucidRetail App is fully integrated with The LucidRetail Desktop version such that all products that carry LucidIDs and containers with Lucid CaseIDs are part of your database and inventory management capabilities. Lucid Green partners with numerous cannabis brands that include LucidIDs on their packages. If you work with a cannabis brand that does not carry a LucidID, have them contact Lucid Green (sales@lucidgreen.io) so you can establish efficiencies in your cannabis supply chain operations. In addition to simplifying your operational execution, you have access to all regulatory and lab result information for every product that carries a LucidID.
