Cannabis Manufacturing Software
Track and assign inventory before production runs
Cannabis manufacturing software that runs recipes, batch costing, packaging, and Metrc on the same record. Built for processors making edibles, vapes, pre-rolls, and concentrates.
BOMs, COGs, and cost tracking you need.
Cannabis manufacturing software tracks recipes, batches, packaging, labels, and state traceability for licensed processors. Distru attaches cost to each input as it moves through production. A finished case carries its real cost basis before it ships, not a month after.
Raw material received against a PO
Distillate, terps, packaging, and hardware are received into the same inventory. Each lot carries the price you actually paid.
Batches that run off a live BOM
Distru checks the bill of materials against on-hand inventory before production starts. It flags a shortage with time left to fix it, and every gram used lands in the batch cost.
COAs attached to every batch
Each COA attaches to its batch and every package made from it. Buyers see potency and test results on the menu before they order.
Production runs on a shared calendar
Runs are scheduled on a calendar that the production floor and office share. Nobody works off an old printout, and you can see which run is behind.
Labels that print off live package data
Compliance labels pull the package tag, batch, COA, and potency from the record. Change a template once, and every SKU using it updates.
Unit cost with labor and packaging in it
Inputs, labor, and packaging roll into the cost of each unit you make. Bills and invoices sync to QuickBooks or Xero, so margin isn't a month-end guess.

Questions from processors and manufacturers
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru track extraction batches in Metrc?
Yes. An assembly in Distru consumes the input packages and creates the output package in one action. The new tag exists in your record before it exists at the state. Your team reviews the package data, then pushes the sync. Distru never reports to Metrc on its own.
How do I track cost per gram on a run?
Attach cost to the material as it moves. Distru prices each component off the purchase order it arrived on. That basis carries through production. Cost per gram or per unit is recorded on the finished package. Standard versus actual variance shows on the same screen.
Can Distru handle dynamic recipes?
Yes. In Distru, a bill of materials can flex by batch size or by input potency. A large batch and a small batch are priced from the same recipe. Distru checks the components against live inventory before production starts. It flags whatever is short.
Does Distru work for hemp and CBD manufacturing?
Yes. Distru runs the same recipes, batch tracking, costing, and labeling for hemp and CBD makers. The difference is traceability. If your state doesn't require Metrc for hemp, that sync stays off. Everything else works the same way.
Can I track packaging that isn't cannabis?
Yes. Distru tracks pouches, cartridges, cases, sleeves, and labels in the same inventory as your distillate. Each one carries lot-level cost. That's what makes a finished case cost real. You find out you're short on packaging before production starts.
How do we get our recipes into Distru?
The Distru onboarding team builds them with you. Existing products are imported by CSV. A product can be cloned with its bill of materials attached. Onboarding takes 3 to 4 weeks on average. Most of the work is deciding what counts as a component.
