01

Cannabis Package & Batch Tracking

Every gram that enters your facility requires a verifiable chain of custody — from the inbound transfer to the outbound manifest. TraceRoot tracks every package by tag number, quantity, product type, and current status. Packages are linked to supplier batches so you always know which lot a product came from.

When a recall, discrepancy, or audit occurs, you can pull the complete history of any package in seconds — not hours. Whether you're a distributor moving finished goods between cultivators and retailers, or a manufacturer converting raw material into packaged products, TraceRoot gives you a single authoritative record for every unit in your possession.

  • Track package tags, quantities, and statuses in real time
  • Link packages to supplier batches and production lots
  • Full chain-of-custody from intake to outbound transfer
  • Filter by product, brand, strain, or status instantly

Compliance Audit Trail for Cannabis Operators

State regulators and METRC auditors don't just want to know what you have — they want a complete, verified history of every package. TraceRoot maintains an immutable audit trail for every inventory event in your system: receives, transfers, adjustments, and location changes.

Every record is timestamped, user-attributed, and captures the before and after quantity. When an inspection happens, you can pull a complete movement history for any package without scrambling through spreadsheets or reconstructing data from memory. For cannabis distributors and manufacturers facing regular compliance reviews, this isn't a nice-to-have — it's what keeps your records standing up when an auditor shows up unannounced.

  • Immutable event log — receives, transfers, adjustments, moves
  • Start quantity, delta, and end quantity recorded per event
  • Timestamped and user-attributed — know who changed what
  • Aligned with METRC reporting requirements

Multi-Location Warehouse & Storage Management

A distribution facility or manufacturing plant isn't a single room — it's receiving docks, cold storage, vaults, quarantine bays, staging areas, and processing zones. TraceRoot lets you define as many custom storage locations as your operation requires and assign packages to them with precision.

Moving a product from receiving into cold storage takes a single action, and the movement is logged automatically. For distributors managing multiple warehouses, or manufacturers with separate raw material and finished goods areas, TraceRoot keeps inventory visible across every location from one dashboard — without clipboards, without guesswork.

  • Create custom locations: Receiving, Vault, Cold Storage, Staging, Quarantine
  • Assign and reassign packages between locations
  • Every move logged automatically with timestamp and user
  • Filter all inventory by location in one view

Transfer Management

Log every inbound transfer and outbound shipment with full quantity tracking. Cannabis distributors can record driver, destination, and manifest details — keeping every movement traceable and METRC-ready.

  • Log inbound and outbound transfers
  • Track manifests and delivery details
  • Structured data for METRC submission

Strain & Brand Product Catalog

Cannabis distributors and manufacturers manage dozens of brands and hundreds of SKUs. TraceRoot organizes your entire catalog by brand, strain, and category — so staff can find, verify, and report on any product without confusion or manual cross-referencing.

  • Organize by brand, strain, and category
  • Filter across full product catalog instantly
  • Consistent naming across all transfers and records

Role-Based Access Control

Regulated cannabis operations require strict control over who can see and change what. TraceRoot's role-based system supports admin, manager, and staff tiers — each scoped to the appropriate actions. Multi-tenant architecture means each organization's data is fully isolated.

  • Admin, manager, and staff permission levels
  • Invite-based onboarding with role assignment
  • Multi-tenant: isolated data per organization
FAQ

Common questions

Is TraceRoot built for dispensaries or distributors?

TraceRoot is built specifically for cannabis distributors and manufacturers. The platform is designed around inbound transfers, batch and lot traceability, outbound manifest tracking, and production chain-of-custody — not retail point-of-sale. If your operation moves or produces cannabis products, TraceRoot fits.

Does TraceRoot work with METRC?

TraceRoot is designed to align with METRC's data and reporting requirements. All inventory movements are logged with the timestamps, quantities, and user attributions that state track-and-trace systems require. Your records are structured around what inspectors ask for.

Can TraceRoot be used across multiple facilities?

Yes. TraceRoot's multi-tenant architecture keeps each organization's inventory, users, and records fully separated. Each facility or legal entity operates in its own isolated environment with no data crossover.

What does the audit trail capture?

Every inventory event — receives, transfers, adjustments, and location changes — is logged with a timestamp, the user who performed the action, and the before and after quantities. Records are immutable and reviewable per package at any time.

Does TraceRoot support batch and lot tracking for manufacturers?

Yes. Packages can be linked to supplier batches and production lots, giving you full traceability from raw material intake to finished product. Production runs can be associated with input batches to maintain a complete chain of custody through processing.
