Metrc said its recently launched Retail ID is tracking more than 1 million unique products in a single week across 21 markets.
The solution sources product information from Metrc for item-level identification with serialized QR codes.
Since its introduction in the second half of 2024, Metrc Retail ID has launched in 21 markets, including Alabama, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, and Metrc-contracted tribal nations. In each of these markets, users can generate QR codes directly from Metrc to incorporate into compliance labels after a product has been packaged, and is ready for retail sale or transfer. This enables real-time access to item-level data such as origin, test results, Certificate of Analysis (COA), potency, flavor, cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and more, through a single scan with a smartphone.
To date, more than 1,100 businesses have downloaded a Metrc Retail ID QR code, including Garden Greens, Green Investment Partners, Holistic Industries, Organic Remedies, and Wyld, while Metrc Retail ID packages have been received by more than 3,500 retailers across the country in Metrc markets. The solution also offers seamless third-party integrations with POS systems Blaze, Dutchie, Flowhub, IndicaOnline, and Treez, as well as ERP systems Canix, Distru, and Stashstock.
“Today’s consumers are expecting more insight into their purchases, amplifying the focus on transparency and traceability,” said David Eagleson, Metrc’s VP of Product. “We are proud to make that happen with Metrc Retail ID by providing the necessary visibility across the cannabis supply chain. By aiming to improve market confidence and consumer safety, while also protecting the bottom line of businesses, we have the opportunity to create meaningful change. Achieving the run rate we have in just a few months represents the commitment of all stakeholders in the supply chain to embrace this change with Metrc.”
