“Do we have cones left?” That’s how most cannabis reorders start—texts, Slack messages, and guesswork. Non-cannabis inventory is one of the most overlooked margin killers in the industry. You track every gram of flower—but what about packaging, gloves, PPE? This stuff lives in spreadsheets and backrooms. And that’s where your margin is leaking. Cannabis inventory is tightly tracked for compliance. Non-cannabis inventory should be tightly tracked for profitability. Operators like Theory and Holistic are solving this by centralizing their non-cannabis inventory—without slowing down purchasing. I broke it down in a quick post. 👇 Blog in comments. #CannabisOps #InventoryControl #Procurement #Supplychain #MainStem

Are You Overspending on Procurement? Here's How to Know in 60 Seconds! At least $6,000 vanished from your cannabis operation last month while you were reading this. "It's just some gloves and cones...we'll sort it out later." says a manager not in an operation far, far away but one you know! By the time Finance finds that receipt, you've already lost more than you realize. Your team didn't mean to sabotage your margins, but:  • Scattered one-off purchases  • Personal cards with zero oversight  • Spending that happens in the shadows Last month, a processing director told us: "I thought we had a handle on procurement until I saw the real numbers. We were bleeding $75K annually—without knowing it." We’ve built this 60-second ROI calculator that shows exactly what manual procurement is costing you. No email required. No pitch. Just raw numbers.

They drain your margin—silently. Here’s what it looks like: POs lost in inboxes Staff buying on personal cards No real-time budget visibility Finance chasing approvals (again) Month-end close = chaos This isn’t a process. It’s a patchwork. And it’s costing operators real money and time every single month. The most efficient cannabis companies aren’t cutting corners. They’re cutting friction.
