One of the most important parts of establishing your cannabis dispensary is selecting the right software to manage your sales. Opening and running a dispensary can be difficult work. That’s why you need to have all of the right tools and support behind you. BLAZE Retail POS is perfectly suited for new and existing cannabis dispensaries to improve day-to-day operations, increase profits, and scale their businesses. Our team is experienced in helping dispensaries succeed and are ready to take your Illinois dispensary to the next level.

Having a cannabis-specific POS (point of sale) is crucial for your dispensary. Point of Sales (POS) software is vital for all businesses in any industry. First, they make receiving payments between the dispensary and the customer possible through dispensary POS software. Secondly, you can compile important sales and compliance data. Lastly, you can manage inventory and make real-time updates to your menu.

For the cannabis industry, unique challenges call for a dispensary POS built specifically by those who know cannabis. This is because of strict business regulations and dire compliance practices. Any mistakes your team makes can slow down operations, result in fines, and even cause legal trouble. Above all, a dispensary POS equipped for the industry’s unique challenges is key to running a smooth storefront.

What sets BLAZE apart in a market rife with dispensary POS software is the unique features that are easy to use and increase dispensary efficiency. BLAZE Dispensary POS is designed for budtenders, delivery drivers, and front desk personnel. That’s why it’s so easy to learn and use cross-functionally by all employees. Our app makes customer interactions easy and allows them to check in and make purchases ahead of time. The iOS and Android Driver app let retailers scan and track products from a phone. This makes our interface accessible from anywhere. It’s no wonder why more cannabis retailers are turning to BLAZE for a smoother-running dispensary.
