IT services in Seven Hills, Ohio

We run day-to-day technology for a licensed cannabis dispensary in Seven Hills. That means keeping the point-of-sale systems, cameras, network and backups working, and the records a regulated retailer has to keep in order.

What a dispensary depends on

A regulated storefront cannot close the register while someone looks for the fault.

Cannabis retail is regulated and audit-heavy. The technology has to keep the registers selling through a busy afternoon and keep a clean record of what happened.

  • Point-of-sale uptime: registers, receipt printers, scanners and the network behind them, monitored so a problem is caught before the line forms.
  • Cameras: IP cameras on their own network segment, recorded to a network video recorder, viewed remotely over a VPN rather than open ports.
  • Network segmentation: customer Wi-Fi, back-office computers, registers and cameras kept on separate VLANs behind an OPNsense firewall.
  • Compliance records: documented systems, access lists and retained records that you can produce when an auditor asks.
  • Backups: offsite copies and restore tests, so a failed drive does not erase a record you are required to keep.

Standing support from Pennsylvania

Our support for the store is ongoing. KawaConnect has offices in Coraopolis and Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and none in Ohio. Monitoring and support are remote, and when a camera needs aiming or a switch needs replacing, we schedule the visit around the store's hours.
