Case study
Hard mode, made lean.
// cannabis retail and cultivation. our own operation. one of the most regulated, margin-thin categories in retail, run lean by engines we built on the floor.
The conditions
- C-01effective tax rates that punish every wasted dollar
- C-02a dozen software systems that only integrate on the basics
- C-03quarterly state reporting, formatted to the regulator's exact spec
- C-04labor as the largest controllable cost, scheduled by gut feel
- C-05high turnover, strict labor law, audit-ready or else
Most operators in the category lose money. The ones that survive do it on discipline. Every hour of manual work and every untrusted number costs margin the taxes have not already taken.
The engines, built on the floor
five engines, each one a job nobody does by hand anymore
purchasing_intelligence
The buy, run by math
// orders sized by sell-through, payment terms computed from days-on-shelf, suppliers graded S through D, dead capital named and priced. then the create-PO button: one click turns the whole buy into formatted order spreadsheets, one per location. work that takes buyers hours, done with a button.
