As part of celebrating individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations doing amazing things in the cannabis industry, Benzinga will feature tech firms disrupting traditional payment systems.
But, why are cashless technologies key for the industry?
5 Benefits Of Cashless Operations
Security
The first clear benefit for cannabis retailers is that in a context of zero access to federal banking, they are often forced to stash cash in store throughout shifts turning employees into sitting ducks for robbers.
Costs
Integrating your entire operation into one software system will save you time and money. Forget about multiple spreadsheets, manual data input, and long hours in front of the computer. A cashless payment system will allow you and your team to make efficient use of time and money, while allocating valuable human resources to customer service, improving the quality of your business.

Next time, a cashless system can help you type only what you need based on fine-grained data that might surprise you. Communicate with your suppliers in a timely manner to avoid bottlenecks, all in one click with a cashless payment system.
Analytics
In retail consistency is king, but how can you keep up the pace in the current markets? Hone in your niche. Analytics derived from the data collected through your POS system can give you a clear perspective on what is cannabis demand in your region, beyond the customer base you already have.
