Cannabis POS for dispensary

TechPOS at the Natural Cannabis Conference in Victoria (April 20, 2018)

In April 2018, the Canadian cannabis industry was preparing for major regulatory change and rapid growth. Events like the Natural Cannabis Conference in Victoria, British Columbia created an important space for cannabis retailers, industry professionals, and technology providers to connect, share ideas, and prepare for the new retail landscape.

TechPOS attended the Natural Cannabis Conference on April 20, 2018 as an exhibitor to introduce our cannabis retail technology and speak with dispensary owners about the tools needed to operate efficiently and stay compliant as the market evolved.

Why Cannabis Conferences Matter for Retailers

Cannabis retail is different from traditional retail. Regulations, inventory controls, and compliance requirements can change by province and often require specialized operational workflows. Conferences give retailers a chance to learn, compare solutions, and plan ahead—especially during periods of industry change.

  • Learn about retail trends and operational best practices
  • Connect with industry peers and technology partners
  • Explore tools that streamline compliance and inventory control
  • Discover new ways to improve customer experience and store efficiency

What TechPOS Showcased

At the conference, TechPOS highlighted how a purpose-built Cannabis POS system can help dispensaries manage day-to-day operations in one platform. We spoke with retailers about common challenges such as inventory accuracy, staff workflow, reporting, and preparing for regulatory requirements.

TechPOS supports cannabis retailers with tools designed specifically for dispensaries, including:

  • Point-of-sale workflows built for cannabis retail
  • Inventory management to help track products accurately
  • Operational reporting to support smarter decisions
  • Tools that help retailers maintain compliance-ready processes
  • E-commerce options to support online ordering and omnichannel retail
