Metrc Alaska
Every Alaska transfer, ready to ship
Ship orders with the manifest ready, and get your excise numbers in one report. Distru records every transfer as it happens, so the numbers are already there.
Tag, package, test and ship from one record
Distru is a cannabis ERP that runs inventory, production, live costing and Metrc sync in one place, with real cost of goods on every batch. Here's how it handles the Alaska rules your team works under.
Plant tags at maturity or first flower
Each plant's stage and Metrc tag are linked in Distru. A plant that flowers short gets flagged for a tag.
Wholesale packages within the weight cap
Distru splits each harvest into packages that fit the cap for stores and manufacturers. Order the right tags the first time.
Excise by the ounce on the transfer out
Transfers record class and weight. The numbers for your excise return come in one report, not a spreadsheet you build.
Vehicle registration on the manifest
Vehicle, driver and registration number come from the order record, so drivers leave with a complete manifest. Metrc gets the transfer when you sync.
Alaska buyers order from your live menu
Publish branded wholesale menus that pull live stock straight from your inventory, with pricing set for each buyer. Buyers get COAs, order in a few clicks, and only see what's in stock.
Lab results before a batch moves
Results attach to each harvest batch with their dates. You see what's cleared to ship before building an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in Alaska?
Yes. Distru connects to your Alaska Metrc account. Packages, transfers and manifests sync to Metrc when your team sends them. Operators in 30+ states run Metrc through Distru.
What's the best Metrc software for an Alaska grow?
Start with whether it runs plants, packages, excise and orders on the records Metrc tracks. Distru does that for Alaska cultivators and manufacturers. Dispensary POS tools are built for the sales counter. Ask how they handle the per-ounce excise.
Can Distru handle more than one Alaska license?
Yes. Distru runs every license on the same set of books, so you see inventory, sales and margin across licenses in one account.
How is Alaska's marijuana excise tax charged?
By weight, when a cultivator sells to a store or manufacturer. The amount depends on the class, such as mature bud, immature bud or trim. Distru records class and weight on every transfer. The numbers you need to file come in one report.
How long does it take to switch to Distru?
Most teams go live in 3 to 4 weeks. Every account gets a dedicated customer success specialist, who connects Alaska Metrc and loads your packages with you. After launch, your questions go to that person, not a manual or a ticket queue.
Does Distru report to AMCO for me?
No, by design. Distru sends data to Metrc only when your team syncs it. You decide what the AMCO sees and when.
