METRC labels and compliance

Validated label printing, COA-to-package linkage, multi-state compliance matrices. KawaConnect runs Tagestry, the METRC-validated label platform covering all 28 jurisdictions.

Market intelligence (PryceHawk)

Cross-store pricing, undercut alerts, wholesale brand tracking. PryceHawk currently tracks roughly 900 dispensaries across Ohio and Michigan on nine platforms.

PA and Ohio specifics

Per-state retention windows, MFA on banking and METRC, EDR on POS endpoints, inspection-ready export drill. The pieces that bite first.

OUR PROMISE

We did not put this behind an email form.

BONUS PACK · OPTIONAL

Want the editable scoring sheet and action plan emailed to you?

The checklist is the main thing and you already have it. If you want the editable scoring sheet (CSV) and one-page action plan template sent to your inbox, drop whatever fields you are comfortable sharing below. Every field is optional except the email address itself.
We will not sell your email, run drip campaigns, or follow up beyond two emails. Your information is stored on our servers only and used to reply to you.

A few honest answers

Because hiding an 11-page cannabis IT checklist behind a form is a cheap way to buy email addresses, and we would rather earn the conversation. If the checklist is useful and you want to talk to us, we are easy to find.

Yes. KawaConnect builds Tagestry, the METRC-validated label platform that serves cannabis operators across all twenty-eight METRC jurisdictions. We also run PryceHawk, a cannabis market intelligence platform tracking roughly 900 dispensaries across Ohio and Michigan. The rubric reflects what we actually see at audit week and in daily competitive operations.

The checklist calls out the strictest applicable rule wherever you operate. Pennsylvania currently requires up to two years on certain footage types; Ohio runs about six months; Oregon is ninety plus thirty. The question is whether your retention meets the worst-case rule across every state you hold a license in.

You get one email right away with the editable bonus pack (scoring sheet plus action plan template). One week later, we send a short follow-up asking if the checklist was useful and offering a no-pitch 30-minute call. That is the entire sequence.

Yes. Call (412) 556-7007, email [email protected], or send a message from the Contact page.
