The family behind Argent Cannabis has been in the smoke shop and convenience store business in Oklahoma for over 15 years. When Oklahoma legalized medical cannabis, they opened dispensaries, then launched a cannabis wholesaler. Today they supply over 500 active retail accounts, wholesale over 90 brands and manufacture their own product lines.
Argent’s biggest challenge was juggling a combo of Excel spreadsheets, Quickbooks, and their own online ordering system to manage their whole operation from extraction and inventory management to sales and transport.
“We were using Quickbooks as our inventory software and it doesn’t really understand cannabis. There was no difference between making a sales order and an invoice, no manifests, so a lot of these steps we had to take to stay compliant we had to do manually.”
The processing side of their operation presented an even bigger challenge and made the simple task of turning flower into prerolls an untraceable mess.
“On the extraction side, a lot of the challenges were with tracking. There’s no function on Quickbooks for assemblies, so tracing those transactions was really difficult because it just wasn’t designed for that.”
Assemblies didn’t translate in Quickbooks, and forget order accuracy–no one had visibility into inventory and the sales team had to call in with every order. Logging every detail into Excel was taking an enormous amount of time, and Argent was growing fast with no way to keep up.
It was a no-brainer that Distru was the one software that had all the functionality we needed to operate our business.
– Adam Lasi, CEO of Argent Cannabis
“Distru provides us the structure from the way the products are organized, to the way the flow works, the CRM, the map feature . . . it pieced everything we were looking for into one software and that changed the game for us.”

Aaron Selverston and his three co-founders of Cosmic Distribution, a supply chain management firm based in Santa Rosa, CA, collectively have over 40 years of experience in the cannabis industry. They started Cosmic as a commitment to providing economic opportunity for other entrepreneurs who risked everything way before California’s Prop 64 passed.
“We are dedicated to bringing the best, most proven cannabis brands and farms in California to consumers throughout this state and ultimately throughout the world.”
Cosmic isn’t your typical distribution company. They truly embody seed-to-sale with numerous value adds and revenue share opportunities for their partners, ranging from extraction and packaging to harvest consultation and marketing. They work closely with 20 specialty farms to source cannabis flower, and have over 15 brands in their portfolio which they distribute to over 200 dispensaries throughout California.
Cosmic was’t just managing and fulfilling inventory. They were providing a full-service solution to help their supply chain partners remain compliant, organized, and on track to hit their goals.
“There’s no way you can run a supply chain management business in California without some platform that’s been developed that integrates with Metrc and manages inventory and layered on top of that, it needs to also tie into the sales ordering side and logistics and fulfillment.”
Across the supply chain, their stakeholders depended on them for accuracy, transparency, and efficiency, and Cosmic had to deliver.
Cosmic was using MJ Freeway at the time, a software provider that wasn't ultimately able to compete with Distru's functionality or responsiveness.
“A big part of our decision to choose Distru and come back after trying MJ Freeway was simply our confidence in the team’s ability to develop the product rapidly, be extraordinarily responsive to our feedback and concerns and demonstrate a capacity to address those concerns.”
Distru has fundamentally transformed our ability to run a streamlined supply chain management operation and has given us the confidence that as we scale, the one thing we won’t have to worry about is our technology.
– Aaron Selverston, CEO & Co-Founder, Cosmic Distribution
Distru’s seed-to-sale solution for distributors empowered Cosmic in becoming the supply chain management firm they imagined themselves to be, freeing up their time and resources from dealing with technical headaches so that they could focus on running a streamlined operation and ensuring their supply chain partners’ success.
No more manual or double entry in Metrc thanks to “a lot of little shortcuts” and tools like COA tracking, order repackaging, and transfer templates, that shave off 6 hours a day from their order fulfillment process.
Rapid product and feature development as a result of feedback provided, even as small as adding a filter to an essential report within 48 hours of requesting it.
Never waiting more than 10 minutes for a response, Distru’s customer success team is perceived to be “super responsive and transparent about what’s going on”, including occasional updates sent directly by our engineers.
Real time access to inventory levels across their catalog ensures order accuracy and satisfied customers who know the inventory will actually be available if they order it.
Opening a facility in LA is easily managed with our multi-warehouse feature, allowing them to easily transfer and process orders across both locations. They now have a precedent to nimbly scale in California!
Happy employees, partners and customers is the ethos of Cosmic’s ecosystem. Their many saved hours (thanks to Distru) are now invested back into their supply chain partners at brands–conferring a mark of esteem in the industry.
