Vertically Integrated Cannabis Software
Don't lose sight of costs across multiple licenses
A Cannabis AI ERP for operators running more than one license type. Inventory, costing, orders, and Metrc stay on one record from your grow to your own shelf.
Eliminate the need to double enter data across many licenses
A vertically integrated cannabis operator holds two or more license types. Every move between them is still a Metrc transfer. Distru runs every license on one system. Cost and SKU identity carry across each transfer, and nobody rebuilds them by hand.
Grow records that carry into processing
Plants keep their Metrc tag and batch lineage through harvest. When the batch moves to your processing license, nobody retypes the product record.
One SKU identity from grow to shelf
A strain keeps one item record and one bill of materials. That holds from flower to a finished case on your own shelf.
Internal Metrc transfers made easy
An internal transfer is a real Metrc transfer. Distru builds the manifest off the transfer record. Your team reviews it, then pushes it. Distru never reports to the state on its own.
One calendar shared with your entire team
Grow, production, and distribution tasks sit on one calendar, each tied to its batch or order. A late harvest shows up before it delays a production run.
One P&L across every license type
Each license keeps its own books, and cost moves with the package between them. They roll up without finance rebuilding the consolidation from exports.
A Retail ID on every unit you package
Print Metrc Retail ID QR labels from the package record at packaging. Shoppers at your stores and at stores you don't own scan one code to see the product's record.

Questions from operators holding more than one license
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
What counts as a vertical cannabis operation?
A vertically integrated cannabis company holds two or more license types in the same supply chain. Distru runs all of those licenses on one record. Think of a grow with a manufacturing license, or a distributor that also runs a storefront. Multiple states is a separate question.
Is this different from multi-state operator software?
Yes. Distru runs both, and the two get mixed up constantly. Vertical integration is more license types in the same supply chain. A multi-state operator holds licenses in more than one state. Plenty of companies are both, and one Distru account covers either setup.
Does cost carry when product moves between licenses?
Yes. In Distru, the cost basis travels with the package through the transfer. The receiving license doesn't start it over. Labor and materials add to it as the product is processed. A finished case ends up with a cost you can price against.
Does Distru report internal transfers to the state?
No. Distru never pushes to Metrc on its own. That's true of a transfer between two licenses you own. You review what's going to the state, then you sync it. The internal manifest builds from the transfer record.
Can we start with one license and add the rest later?
Yes. Add a license type in Distru, and it extends the account you already have. You don't start a second one. Your catalog, customers, and reporting carry over. Onboarding a license runs 3 to 4 weeks on average.
Can we still sell to dispensaries we don't own?
Yes. Your distribution license sells outside the company through DistruCommerce. It sells from the same inventory it uses for internal moves. $10B+ in B2B wholesale sales has moved through Distru. Each license keeps its own rule set inside the same account.
