Canada's Only Cannabis-Built POS, Built and Supported in Canada Since 2017
We didn't take a generic POS and bolt on cannabis features. TechPOS was built from scratch for Canadian dispensaries - for AGCO compliance, BCLDB reporting, and the operational realities of running a regulated cannabis store.
TechPOS powered the overnight migration of 200 Canna Cabana locations - Canada's largest cannabis retail chain - without missing a single transaction. Every store was live before opening the next morning.
Why Dispensaries Choose TechPOS Over Generic POS Systems
Most POS systems on the market were built for coffee shops, clothing stores, or restaurants - and then adapted for cannabis with a compliance add-on. That approach creates gaps: inventory fields that don't map to Health Canada categories, reporting exports that don't match AGCO templates, and support teams that don't understand the difference between a Periodic Report and a Sales Report.
TechPOS was built the other way around. Every field, every report, every integration was designed with cannabis retail compliance at its core. That's why dispensary owners who switch to TechPOS typically don't switch again - and why 8 out of 10 operators who see a demo become customers.

Built for Canadian Cannabis Compliance - AGCO, BCLDB, and Beyond
Regulated cannabis retail in Canada is not the same in every province. Ontario dispensaries must submit to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) - Federal Reports, Sales Reports, and Periodic Reports filed on a mandatory schedule. British Columbia retailers report to the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB). Alberta operators work within AGLC requirements. TechPOS connects directly to each regulator's platform and files automatically, so your compliance record is always current - even when your team is focused on serving customers.

How TechPOS Was Founded
In 2017, TechPOS's founders were working directly with retail business owners across Canada and kept seeing the same problems. Operators were locked into rigid, industry-generic POS systems that couldn't adapt to their workflows. They were re-entering data manually between their POS and their accounting software. They were paying accountants to reconcile reports that a system should have been generating automatically.
When cannabis legalization created a new category of regulated retail in Canada, those existing problems became acute - because cannabis compliance requirements added an entirely new layer of reporting obligations on top of everything else. The founders saw an opportunity to build something that didn't exist: a cloud-based retail management system designed specifically for cannabis, from the ground up, by a Canadian team that understood the regulatory environment their customers had to operate in.
That's what TechPOS became. Not a generic POS with a cannabis module - a cannabis retail management system where every feature, every integration, and every support conversation is shaped by the realities of running a dispensary in Canada.
Founded in Vancouver, BC
TechPOS International Corp. established in Vancouver to build a Canadian-first cannabis retail platform. Cloud-based, browser-accessible, built around compliance from day one.
Canada Legalizes Cannabis Retail
TechPOS was ready. As new dispensaries opened across Ontario, BC, and Alberta, TechPOS became the compliance-first POS choice for operators who needed to be AGCO and BCLDB compliant from opening day.
AGCO Pilot Partner
TechPOS participated as an early partner in the AGCO compliance reporting integration pilot - embedding regulator-direct data submission into the core platform.
200 Canna Cabana Stores - One Night
TechPOS migrated all 200 Canna Cabana locations overnight without missing a transaction - the most significant single-night migration in Canadian cannabis retail history.
SOC 2 Type 1 Certified & U.S. Expansion
TechPOS achieved SOC 2 Type 1 certification and launched U.S. market availability - bringing TechPOS to American dispensaries.
What We Stand For
We build software for the people running Canada's cannabis stores - owners, operators, and budtenders. These are the principles that shape every product decision we make.
Canadian Through and Through
Built in Vancouver. Supported by a team that knows AGCO deadlines, BCLDB submission windows, and the pressures of a regulated retail opening day. We're not a global platform with a Canadian checkbox.
Compliance Without Complexity
Regulatory reporting should happen automatically - not be a monthly project. Every feature we build is measured against whether it reduces the manual work your team has to do to stay compliant.
Support That Actually Knows Cannabis
When you call us, you reach a team that understands what a Sales Report is, why your inventory might be out of sync after a void, and what needs to happen before your store opens tomorrow.
Built to Grow With You
From your first store to your hundredth, TechPOS scales without requiring a platform change. The same system that runs a single-location indie runs Canna Cabana's 200-store national chain.
Switching from Another Cannabis POS System?
Migration risk is the number one reason dispensary operators delay switching POS systems - and it's a legitimate concern. A failed migration means inventory discrepancies, compliance gaps, and potential downtime during one of your highest-revenue days.
TechPOS has migrated over 200 stores in a single night without missing a transaction. Our onboarding team handles the data transfer, integration configuration, and hardware setup. Your existing integrations - Moneris, Leafly, QuickBooks, Headset - migrate with your data. You keep selling while we handle the switch.
Whether you're moving from Jane, Cova, or a generic retail POS, our team has done it before. Talk to a cannabis POS specialist about your specific setup before you commit.

TechPOS is also SOC 2 Type 1 certified, runs on single-tenant Microsoft Azure infrastructure with 99.99% uptime, and processes over $110M in cannabis transactions monthly across 1,000+ Canadian dispensaries – including all 200 Canna Cabana locations.
Is TechPOS compliant with AGCO and BCLDB regulations?
Yes. TechPOS connects directly to the AGCO regulatory platform and files Federal Reports, Sales Reports, and Periodic Reports automatically for Ontario cannabis retailers.
