Metrc California
Your California packages, complete and ready to ship
Every batch ships with its lab results, label and count already matching. Fewer holds at quality review, and nothing to retype into Metrc.
Count, check 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 California rules your team works under.
Every receipt and sale logged as it happens
Distru logs each receipt, package and sale as it happens, so your California Cannabis Track-and-Trace (CCTT) entries are ready when you are. You send them on your command.
Inventory reviews without the surprises
Distru checks your count against CCTT and shows each gap as a percentage, so you fix a discrepancy before it becomes a notice to the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC).
Faster distributor quality reviews
Distru links the COA, its test date and label potency to the batch, so your quality review checks one record, not three files.
Manifests with departure and arrival times
Distru builds the manifest from the order and adds departure and arrival times to it. No one retypes times, and what you report to the state matches what happened on the road.
California 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.
Catch up fast after a CCTT outage
Distru keeps your records while CCTT is down, so catching up once access returns is one sync you run.

Key California rules, and how Distru handles them
A few of the California rules operators ask us about most. For the full, current rules, see the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC).
| What California requires | How Distru handles it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory reviewed against CCTT on a regular schedule. A significant gap between floor and CCTT means an audit and written notice to DCC. | Floor counts and CCTT numbers come from the same packages. Any gap shows up in a list you can fix before a review, and every adjustment is logged for the audit. | cannabis compliance software |
| Receipts, packaging, testing and sales recorded in CCTT promptly, with data errors fixed within a set window. | Each step is recorded in Distru as it happens, so your entries are ready to sync on your command. | Metrc integration |
| A distributor quality review before retail: the COA matches the batch and is still current. | COAs attach to the batch with their test dates, and a batch without a current pass can't go on an order, so nothing reaches a retailer early. | COA management software |
| Label cannabinoid content consistent with the COA before the batch goes to a retailer. | Label templates pull potency from the COA on the batch, so labels match the lab without retyping. | cannabis labeling software |
| A CCTT shipping manifest before transfer. The transporting distributor records actual departure and arrival times. | Manifests build from the order, and times and changes go on that record before you sync, so the shipment and manifest always agree. | order fulfillment |
Rules change. For current requirements, see the DCC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in California?
Yes. Distru connects to your CCTT-Metrc account. Packages, transfers, manifests and lab results sync when you send them, on your command. California still wants data errors fixed within three calendar days, and Distru lists them for you.
What's the best Metrc software for a California distributor?
Pick software that runs batches, COAs, manifests and orders on the records CCTT tracks. Distru does that for cultivators, manufacturers and distributors. Ask each vendor how it handles a distributor quality review.
Why doesn't my CCTT inventory match my count?
Usually an entry missed California's recording window. Receipts, packaging, tests and sales each need a timely CCTT entry, and a significant gap means an audit and written notice to DCC. Distru shows the gap in your count before you sync, so you catch it first.
Why does my batch need a distributor QA review?
California requires one before any batch reaches a retailer. The COA must match the batch and be current, label cannabinoids must match the COA, and weight must match CCTT. Distru keeps all four on one batch record, so the review checks one place.
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 California 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 DCC for me?
No. Distru doesn't send anything to CCTT until you do. You review what's ready and sync on your command. Your designated account manager decides what the state sees, and the license stays yours.
