If your run rates aren’t accurate, every decision you make—purchasing, promos, markdowns—is built on shaky ground. In our latest webinar, Fine Fettle’s inventory lead, Eric Halpern, PharmD, broke down how to manage purchasing decisions across 11 stores using precise, hourly-updated run rates. The benefit? ? They know if a product sells because of a promo—or if it actually has staying power. ? They can spot the bottom 10% of SKUs instantly and fix what’s not working. ? They make data-driven buying decisions instead of making assumptions or relying on intuition. Without these insights, dispensaries are often forced to "shoot from the hip" or spend hours sifting through disorganized data. Fine Fettle turned inventory management into a strategic advantage—can your store say the same? Got questions? Get answers by hitting us up in a DM or comment below. Happy buying!

Managing cannabis inventory isn’t like stocking a grocery store—it's a constant cycle of rotating SKUs, unpredictable supply, and the grappling with the challenge of staying ahead of trends. In this clip, Eric Halpern, PharmD shares the struggle of juggling 40+ vendors, falling back on visual checks of the dispensary vault to make purchasing decisions, and thoughts on why inventory managers need to be making data-driven decisions when it comes to stocking locations. Key Takeaways: -Strain availability shifts constantly—what sold last month may not exist next month. -Menu health matters: doubling SKUs in a month signals deeper inventory issues. -Buying decisions often rely on gut feel instead of real-time sales and stock data. When stockouts and overstock pile up, cash flow suffers. The solution? Track demand, monitor trends, and analyze category health daily—not just when bins are empty. There's only one comprehensive tool in the retail cannabis ecosystem built for the job, Happy Buyers. How are you managing inventory at your dispensary? Chances are you can be doing better.
