Metrc Montana
Your Montana counts, matched to Metrc
Close each day knowing Metrc matches your shelf, in-transit loads included. Distru posts counts to the same packages Metrc holds, and any gap shows up in a list you can clear.
Tag, test, count 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 Montana rules your team works under.
Every grow site on one canopy license
Know what each site holds and what it's worth. Each facility on your license gets its own location in Distru, and the inventory report shows stock and value for each one.
A daily reconcile, loads in transit included
Close every day matched to Metrc. Distru lists each gap between your count and Metrc, in-transit loads included, for your team to clear.
Plant tags that stay with the plant
No one re-keys a plant tag. Distru links the tag to the plant record when it's assigned, and the plant keeps it through every phase change.
Harvests scheduled ahead in Metrc
Your harvest records are ready to sync right after you cut. Plan the harvest date in Distru first, then add wet weights to the batch as soon as you harvest.
Montana 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.
Manifests built from the order
Always know where a load stands. Distru builds each Metrc manifest from the order and keeps it open until the buyer receives the load.

| Each plant gets a Metrc tag once it reaches a set height, attached as it grows. Tags come only from the state's tracking vendor. | No one re-keys a plant tag. The tag links to the plant record in Distru and follows it through every phase change. | Metrc integration |
| Each harvest is scheduled in Metrc ahead of time, with wet weight recorded right after harvest. Flower packages stay under a weight cap. | Your harvest records are ready to sync on your command. The harvest date, wet weights and package weights all go on the batch in Distru. | cannabis ERP |
| No sub-package can be created or sent out until its source package passes all required testing. | Ship with confidence. Lab results attach to each batch, and Distru flags any batch that hasn't passed before it goes on an order. | COA management software |
| Labels carry warning statements next to the universal symbol, and exit packaging carries an addiction resource link. | Stop typing potency by hand and risking a costly reprint. Label templates pull potency and warnings straight from the package record in Distru. | cannabis labeling software |

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in Montana?
Yes. Distru connects to your Montana 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 a Montana brand?
Look for software that runs the daily count, harvest schedules and manifests on Metrc's own records. Distru does that for brands, manufacturers and wholesale teams. Ask each vendor how it handles multiple grow sites and wholesale orders.
Why won't my Metrc count match at the end of the day?
Usually because the count is done on paper and typed into Metrc later. In Distru, your team counts against the same packages Metrc has, and any difference shows up right away. Fix it, sync, and your numbers match by the end of the day.
Can Distru handle more than one Montana 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 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 Montana 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 CARD for me?
No, by design. Distru sends data to Metrc only when your team syncs it. You decide what CARD sees and when.
