The contract totals $250,000 and, according to Metrc Vice President of External Affairs and Business Development David Urbanowicz, the new system is slated to go live for licensees on Dec. 1. The new partnership replaces the previous agreement the state had with Kind Agrisoft, Urbanowicz said, which was awarded the state contract in 2016.
Metrc, as part of the agreement, said it will implement its track-and-trace platform to help the Ocean State facilitate its medical cannabis program’s data collection and regulatory oversight. The data tracking, the company said, will help operators optimize inventory control, accurately report sales data and improve cultivation management.
State regulators will also have access to this tracking data, Metrc said, which will help provide safeguards for medical marijuana patients in Rhode Island and provide transparency to ensure regulatory compliance.
