Metrc Maine
Your Maine counts, matched to Metrc every day
Close each day with your counts matching Metrc, and keep medical stock out of the sync. Distru checks every package as your team counts and lists any gap before close.
Since November 2024, chapter 30 sets Maine Metrc rules
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 Maine rules your team works under.
The 11:59 p.m. daily reconciliation
Counts post to the same packages Metrc holds. The gap list is ready before the 11:59 p.m. deadline.
Batch tags for 5, 10, 25 or 50 plants
A batch tag, its plants and every split stay linked to one record. Splitting a batch is one update.
One tracking administrator per licensee
Each trained user gets their own Distru login. Shut off a departed employee's access the day they leave.
Trim and kief combined into one batch
Combine harvest batches of trim or kief, and Distru opens the production batch. Weights and cost carry over.
Maine 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.
Medical stock kept out of the Metrc sync
Caregiver and dispensary stock has no Metrc account. Mark it untracked in Distru and it stays out of every sync.

Key Maine rules, and how Distru handles them
A few of the Maine rules operators ask us about most. For the full, current rules, see the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP).
| What Maine requires | How Distru handles it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| All on-premises and in-transit inventory and sales must be reconciled in Metrc the same day. | Close out each day knowing Metrc matches your shelf. Distru posts counts to the packages Metrc holds, and any gap lands in a list you clear before the day ends. | cannabis inventory management software |
| Each licensee names a tracking administrator, and new users are trained before they get access. | Always know who did what. Every user has their own Distru login and permissions, and access ends the day someone leaves. | cannabis compliance software |
| Combining harvest batches of trim or kief into a production batch must be recorded as an event. | Know your cost on every production batch. Distru opens the batch when you combine and carries input weights and cost into it. | cannabis manufacturing software |
| Every mandatory test result must be recorded in Metrc. | Nothing ships before it passes. Results attach to each package with their dates, and a package without a passing result can't go on an outbound order. | COA management software |
| Every authorized transfer must be recorded in Metrc, and retail deliveries travel with a sales delivery manifest. | No one retypes a transfer. Distru builds it from the order, you check it on the same record, then sync on your command. | order fulfillment |
Rules change. For current requirements, see the OCP.
Integrate with the Tools You Use
Distru connects your compliance, accounting, sales, and retail tools so data stays in sync and your team stops double-entering it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in Maine?
Yes. Distru connects to your Maine Metrc account under OCP's adult-use program. Packages, transfers, lab samples and harvests sync when you send them, on your command. Distru runs Metrc work for operators in 30+ states.
What's the best Metrc software for a Maine cultivator?
Pick software that runs inventory, production, orders and costing on the records Metrc holds. Distru does that for cultivators, manufacturers and wholesalers. Dispensary POS tools are built for the sales counter. Ask how they handle the 11:59 p.m. daily count and production batches.
Why won't my Maine Metrc count reconcile?
Usually the count happens on paper and Metrc gets updated later. Maine wants on-premises and in-transit inventory reconciled by 11:59 p.m. that same day. Distru records each count against the package Metrc holds and lists what's off. You correct it, then sync.
Does my medical stock have to go into Metrc?
No. Maine's medical program isn't subject to statewide inventory tracking. LD 1847 would have added it. The bill died when the Legislature adjourned in April 2026. The program certified 112,547 patients in 2025. Distru keeps that stock out of your adult-use sync.
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 Maine 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 OCP for me?
No. Distru doesn't send anything to Metrc on its own. Each sync happens when you send it, on your command. Your tracking administrator decides what the state sees and when.
