Introduction
Introducing Cannabis Tracking Software available today
As you are well aware of cannabis tracking is critically important for the operational health of an
organization. Today’s Cannabis Tracking market offers a number of solutions and software alternatives.
Some are further along the product development cycle than others. As the business evolves cannabis
tracking will become less important to the businesses success than other departments such as
accounting, product development, sales, customer relationship management and others.
With a number of cannabis tracking applications available capable of providing the features and
reporting functions a business owner or manager needs where should the search for the best choice
begin? Many businesses begin using cannabis tracking software on their desktop. They then migrate to
solutions with mobile capabilities. A mobile friendly application brings versatility to their Tracking usage.
Being able to maintain your tracking directly from your phone or tablet changes the way you operate
and manage your sales activities.
While customer expectations are changing regarding cannabis tracking functionalities and best
practices. Modern businesses need more than just the ability to track marijuana; does your tracking
suite offer other features such as grow house management, yield projections, efficient communication
tools, and most importantly, having a great user interface for your team to be productive.
Features Comparison
In order to offer a fair comparison of the top cannabis tracking solutions, we have compiled a table of
the most important features a cannabis tracking system should offer. These are organized into five
categories: Cannabis Tracking (retail sales), Grow House Management, Productivity & Usability, and User
Reviews.
These categories encompass nearly everything a company might need in order to manage state
compliance requirements, and optimize operations.

User Interface
When it comes to efficiency and end-user satisfaction, fine-tuned usability is one of the most important
factors in any software platform. This is especially true of cannabis tracking software, as the end user
might spend the majority of their time working with the software. In order to provide functionality,
speed, and convenience to a cannabis business, a software solution must maintain a balance between
ease of use and a robust set of features. The user interface supports the overall product design in
deciphering human factors such as preferences, habits, and learned skills in order to effectively serve
the intended purpose of the software as it relates to the businesses that utilize it. A strong functional
design is critical in providing a positive user experience and maximizing user efficiency.
Usability is qualitatively measured as a software’s ability to anticipate what a user might need to do. This
includes ensuring that all of the elements in the interface are easy to access, understand, and use. Well-
designed software establishes familiarity by maintaining a consistent interface and predictable
interactions throughout so users feel comfortable with the system, allowing them to complete their
desired tasks quickly. It will help users perform actions quickly as well as become more efficient in their
10
day to day tasks. Best practices also suggest having a simple interface with consistency (common
elements) and a page layout based on hierarchical importance and flow.
The next section includes screenshots of the dashboard and bank reconciliation screens of each software
to help you compare the user interface of each software.

Conclusions
The selection of a software solution is a process which, if undertaken with scrutiny and a willingness to
obtain as much information as possible, can result in a huge increase in efficiency amongst your team.
No single factor is the most important, but rather a balance of many interdependent factors. Which
factors are really important for your business? Is your planning focused around a budget? Integration
with third-party apps? Do you prefer to maintain your software yourself via an on premise server or
utilize a cloud-hosted solution maintained by the software vendor? Additionally, what are your budget
and internal competencies? On-premise solutions are preferred by large companies because they
provide increased control of the platform and can assist in overcoming security concerns. Alternatively,
online solutions are advisable for SME’s as the customization and costs (hosting, maintenance,
implementation service, etc.) are usually minimal or even included in the base rate.
In order to select the best tracking software for your needs, it is also vital to weigh the desired benefits
against the management team’s constraints while also considering the team’s day to day operational
needs. The most fundamental goals for any decision maker are to grow the business and support the
teams which make the success of your organization possible. As collaboration is the key to success with
any team, it is beneficial to choose a simple and user-friendly solution which will help your colleagues
work quickly and effectively while avoiding the need for expensive and time-consuming training
sessions.
So whether you are a small startup comparing cannabis tracking solutions for the first time or a large
enterprise thinking about changing your current software, the information in this document will help
you compare the most important aspects of each solution to help you find the software that best works
for you.
This whitepaper was compiled by SCE. We did our best to make it objective and fair. If you find a mistake or please
report it to info@scegroup.co and we will update this document. Our goal is to have a continuously updated
comparison of the main competitors to be as accurate as possible. Some images have been altered to fit the screen.

The user interface supports the overall product design in deciphering human factors such as preferences, habits, and learned skills in order to effectively serve the intended purpose of the software as it relates to the businesses that utilize it. A strong functional design is critical in providing a positive user experience and maximizing user efficiency. Usability is qualitatively measured as a software’s ability to anticipate what a user might need to do. This includes ensuring that all of the elements in the interface are easy to access, understand, and use. Well- designed software establishes familiarity by maintaining a consistent interface and predictable interactions throughout so users feel comfortable with the system, allowing them to complete their desired tasks quickly.

  • 15. 15 Conclusions The selection of a software solution is a process which, if undertaken with scrutiny and a willingness to obtain as much information as possible, can result in a huge increase in efficiency amongst your team. No single factor is the most important, but rather a balance of many interdependent factors. Which factors are really important for your business? Is your planning focused around a budget? Integration with third-party apps? Do you prefer to maintain your software yourself via an on premise server or utilize a cloud-hosted solution maintained by the software vendor? Additionally, what are your budget and internal competencies? On-premise solutions are preferred by large companies because they provide increased control of the platform and can assist in overcoming security concerns. Alternatively, online solutions are advisable for SME’s as the customization and costs (hosting, maintenance, implementation service, etc.) are usually minimal or even included in the base rate. In order to select the best tracking software for your needs, it is also vital to weigh the desired benefits against the management team’s constraints while also considering the team’s day to day operational needs. The most fundamental goals for any decision maker are to grow the business and support the teams which make the success of your organization possible. As collaboration is the key to success with any team, it is beneficial to choose a simple and user-friendly solution which will help your colleagues work quickly and effectively while avoiding the need for expensive and time-consuming training sessions.
