🌿 Product, Inventory, and POS Menu Updates

We’ve released a focused set of improvements to make Marijuana Software faster, more reliable, and easier to use during everyday store operations.

This update improves POS menu loading, strengthens product and inventory workflows, and adds behind-the-scenes reliability improvements to help your system run more smoothly.

🚀 Faster, More Reliable POS Menu Loading

We improved the way menus load inside the POS to increase speed, stability, and consistency when staff are ringing up customers, viewing products, and working with menu items.

These changes help reduce menu loading issues and improve reliability during active sales.

🧩 Improved Category and Menu Compatibility

We also improved how product categories are handled behind the scenes.

This helps products display more consistently across menus, reports, and POS workflows, especially for stores using state-specific category mappings.

🛒 Product and Inventory Workflow Improvements

We cleaned up several product and inventory workflows to reduce friction for staff.

• 🌱 Improved product page reliability
• 📦 Improved inventory item handling
• 🏷️ More consistent menu item naming
• 🔍 Better support for rebuilding product indexes
• 🧾 Updated the Products page so special characters no longer break the product table
• ⚖️ Fixed discrepancies when comparing ounces and pounds in the METRC Discrepancy Report
• ⌨️ Improved barcode field behavior when using the Enter key

🔧 Behind-the-Scenes Reliability Improvements

Some of this release focused on technical cleanup customers may not see directly, but should benefit from.

We improved database update reliability, product indexing stability, and menu data handling so the system is better prepared to support larger menus, cleaner product data, and ongoing performance improvements.

✅ Bottom Line

This release is focused on making product, inventory, and POS menu workflows faster, cleaner, and more reliable.

Your staff should see fewer interruptions, smoother menu loading, and better consistency when managing products and inventory.

Portland, OR -- The new year begins a new registration requirement for the sale of Hemp products in the state. Starting January 1, all cannabinoid hemp products sold to consumers in Oregon - whether sold online or in brick-and-mortar locations - are to be registered with the OLCC. While legislatively required under House Bill 4121, the registry additionally benefits consumers by making available clear information about the hemp products they buy.

The requirement to list within the Hemp Registry applies to all cannabinoid hemp items intended for human or animal consumption or use, such as:

• Gummies
• Beverages
• Tinctures
• Capsules
• Vapes and smokable flower

Topical products like lotions and soaps, as well as hemp grain and fiber products that do not contain cannabinoids (i.e. CBD, THC) are excluded from the registration requirements. There is a fee to register, but with some exceptions, similar products can be registered with one fee.

Enforcement actions related to the Hemp Registry will be delayed until June 1, 2026, giving manufacturers, distributors and retailers to adapt. This limited grace period is designed to help businesses understand the new requirements, complete product registrations, and ensure proper labeling before enforcement begins. While the OLCC will not penalize businesses solely for failing to register products before June 1, 2026, it will continue enforcing existing state laws. See Hemp Education Bulletin HE2025-01 for more information.

Many dispensaries still use Gmail for their company email. While Gmail is easy to set up, it comes with risks that can hurt your business:

• 🕵️ Spoofing – Scammers can send emails that look like they’re from you.

• 🔓 Hacked passwords – If a password gets stolen, someone can read your private business emails.

• 🚪 Staff changes – When employees leave, they can take the login with them.

💡 The solution? Secure, branded company email.

With our Microsoft 365 Business Premium service, your email will be tied to your own domain (like you@yourdispensary.com), not Gmail. This gives you:

• 🛡️ Strong security with built-in spam and phishing protection

• 🔐 Easy account control when staff change roles

• 🤝 A professional, trustworthy email address for customers and suppliers

We can set up Microsoft 365 Business Premium for just $23.50 per seat (annual commitment, billed monthly).
