Metrc Washington DC
Your DC inventory, matched to Metrc
Close each day knowing Metrc matches your shelf. Distru posts counts to the same packages Metrc holds, and any gap shows up in a list you can clear.
Grow, test, label and ship from one record
Distru is a Cannabis AI ERP with a built-in wholesale marketplace. These are the DC rules it runs for growers and manufacturers.
Canopy that matches your license
Stay inside the canopy you pay for. Each room carries its square footage in Distru.
Lab results on every batch
Ship with confidence. Lab results attach to each batch, and Distru flags any batch that hasn't passed before it goes on an order.
Labels that match the package
Stop typing label details by hand and risking a costly reprint. Label templates pull straight from the package record in Distru.
Records ready when an inspector asks
Hand over your books without a scramble. Distru exports sales, transfer and destruction records by license, tied to the inventory that moved.
Orders drafted from buyer emails and PDFs
The AI Order Agent drafts orders from buyer emails and PDFs, and your sales team approves each one.
Every item in the right Metrc category
Avoid a rejected sync over the wrong category. Distru maps every item to its Metrc category, Beverage included, before the package syncs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in DC?
Yes. Distru connects to your DC Metrc account, which ABCA uses for every licensed sale. Packages, transfers and production batches sync when you send them, on your command. Your customer success manager sets up the connection with you.
What's the best Metrc software for a DC brand?
Distru is built for DC brands, manufacturers and cultivation centers. It runs inventory, batches, lab results and wholesale orders on Metrc's own records. When you compare options, ask each vendor how it handles canopy rooms and test results.
Why doesn't Metrc match what's on my shelves?
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.
How do I reach more DC retailers?
DC has a short list of licensed retailers, so every account counts. Distru turns your live inventory into a menu those retailers can order from.
How long does it take to switch to Distru?
Onboarding takes 3 to 4 weeks on average. A customer success manager connects DC Metrc and imports your inventory with your team. Your Metrc history stays in Metrc, where ABCA expects it.
Does Distru report to ABCA for me?
No, and that's on purpose. You decide what goes to Metrc and when, and Distru sends it on your command. Your team stays in control of what ABCA sees.
