Vangarden is transforming the cannabis industry by marrying sustainable growing practices with revolutionary warehouse management.

When a warehouse wants to produce a certain amount of a product, they need to calculate the supplies and workers’ hours required, factor in any certifications those workers need, and organize task assignments and schedules. Grow houses additionally need to consider crop cycle timelines.

Vangarden believed that with today’s technology, there had to be a smarter solution, and they partnered with us to build it for them.

Revolutionizing warehouse management.

A manager can now input the product and quantity they want (for example, 100 lbs of gummies, 200 lbs of chocolates, 300 lbs of cartridges), and the app will organize all the details from what supplies are needed to what tasks need to be done when and by whom.

In other words, the software takes care of all the planning involved in running a production facility.

Automated task assignments.

Vangarden’s managers no longer have to assign tasks or manually track progress: our algorithms automatically assign work to employees based on their certifications, location in the facility, and the materials required.

Shift scheduling made easy–and employee-friendly.

Instead of a shift manager attempting to wrangle the schedules of everyone in the facility, employees can now manage their own shifts: trading, offering, or picking up extra shifts from an automated pool.

Comprehensive admin controls.

Shifts are automatically calculated based on production output goals. If admins wish, they can manually set scheduling parameters, specify certifications needed for certain shifts, add or remove people from shifts, view overtime, and see operators’ shift-change histories.

Enhanced security and efficiency with facility-wide tracking.

We integrated with RFID technology to track people, plants, and equipment across the facility. Our bird’s-eye-view map of the grow house indicates–in real time–where everyone and everything is located.

Precise inventory management.

Our thorough inventory-management system tracks everything from bud trimming scissors to break-room coffee. Each product has a detailed page listing pricing, amount left in stock, consumption over time, and vendor info.

Streamlined product management

Vangarden can now manage everything they produce, from cartridges to chocolates, in a central database with robust filtering options and a simple way to add new products.

Improved company-wide communication.

We designed user forums where admins can post announcements and users can post suggestions.

Product Design: OnlyEdible.

We designed product labels and brand messaging for OnlyEdible, Vangarden’s line of low-THC gummies. We also crafted label designs and copy for OnlyActive, OnlyRelaxed, and OnlyRested.

Revolutionizing operations from seed to harvest.

Vangarden is ushering in a new era of smart cannabis cultivation. We’re excited to have given them a ground-breaking system that maximizes efficiency, reduces administrative overhead, and empowers their team.
