Business & Relationships

Where you are now

Most stores we talk to are in one of three places

Whichever one sounds like you, the first month looks different in a fairly specific way.

Still on paper and WhatsApp

Orders in a book, loyalty on punch cards, and customers messaging your personal number at 9pm.

What changes

One order queue every staff member can see, points that track themselves, and a store inbox that isn't your phone.

On a POS that wasn't built for cannabis

Per-gram pricing bolted on awkwardly, nowhere to put consignment stock, and nothing that knows what ID verification is.

What changes

Weight-based and unit pricing side by side, vendor balances that update as you sell, and age and ID checks built into the sale.

Running stores on separate systems

Each shop its own island, and month-end is a spreadsheet merge before you know what the group actually did.

What changes

One console across every location, with reporting that already adds up and exports the way your accountant wants it.

The Platform

Five surfaces, one system underneath

Each role gets an experience built for exactly what they do - all reading from the same data, in real time.

Customer Storefront

A storefront they actually enjoy shopping

A mobile-first shopping experience with everything a cannabis customer expects, from strain details to loyalty rewards, wrapped in an installable app that carries your brand.

Storefront - Product Browsing
  • Category browsing, search & store filtering
  • THC/CBD & strain info on every product
  • Weight-based and unit-based pricing
  • One shared cart, delivery or collection
  • Gift cards & promo codes
  • Loyalty points, tiers & referrals
  • Real-time chat with photo attachments
  • Social feed with posts & stories
  • Prescription tracking (Meditrac)
  • Installable PWA - Android & iOS
Try it yourself
Store Operations

Everything staff need to run the floor

From the register to the back room, staff get one system for checkout, fulfillment, stock, and shift reconciliation - built for a real counter, not a demo.

Store Operations - Order Management
  • POS checkout - cash, card, EFT or points
  • Walk-in customers created from the cart
  • Drag-and-drop category management
  • Delivery fulfillment & driver assignment
  • Cash-up with PDF export
  • Stock takes against expected counts
  • Low-stock threshold alerts
  • CSV export across every table
  • Full activity log & audit trail
Try it yourself
Vendor & Consignment

Consignment tracking that never goes stale

Run consignment stock through the same POS your staff already use, while balances update live behind the scenes - supplied, sold, paid, owing.

Vendor & Consignment Dashboard
  • Vendor directory with licence tracking
  • Full consignment workflow & wholesale pricing
  • Auto-generated consignment notes
  • Sells through normal POS automatically
  • Live outstanding balance tracking
  • Payment recording against balances
  • Returns, damaged & write-off processing
  • Top vendors & full payment history
Try it yourself
Reporting & Insights

Know exactly how every store performs

Five built-in dashboards covering performance, cash-up, shifts, and consignment - each exportable so you can hand real records to accountants, auditors, or regulators.

Reporting - Store Performance Dashboard
  • Best sellers, low-margin & stock loss
  • Cash-up reconciliation across staff
  • Shift hours & active shift tracking
  • Open consignments & payment history
  • One-click PDF across all 5 reports
  • CSV export on every table
  • Exports respect your applied filters
  • CRM-style contact search
Try it yourself
Multi-Store Admin

One console for every store you run

A single command center for stores, vendors, staff, and marketing - complete with licence-expiry alerts and data-retention controls, built to scale as you add locations.

Super Admin Console
  • Sectioned navigation across all stores
  • Manage stores, vendors, staff & products
  • Home banner slider for promotions
  • Notifications with subscriber preview
  • Gift card & promo code administration
  • Delivery fee tier configuration
  • Licence-expiry alerts, 30 days out
  • Configurable data retention
Try it yourself
And Everything Else

The parts that quietly matter

Every order, accounted for

Customers get clear proof of every purchase and drivers stop wasting trips, with PDF invoices, grouped order history, and store-hours awareness built in.

Order History & Invoices

B2B wholesale invoicing

Not every bulk buyer lives in the app. Generate and send professional invoices to the clients who order outside it, and track them draft to paid.

A real support inbox

Per-store chat threads with photo attachments, unread badges, and archiving - instead of a personal WhatsApp standing in for customer service.

Role-Based Access

Customer, staff, store owner, delivery driver, admin, and super admin - each scoped to exactly what they need.

Push & In-App Notifications

Individually dismissible alerts that reach the right role, in real time.

Branded Installable PWA

App icon, splash screen, and install prompts for Android and iOS.

Built on Supabase

Auth, database, storage, and real-time - production-grade from day one.

Your Brand, Your Data

Built to be yours, not shared

Your customers should see your brand, and your data should sit where you control it. Both are structural, not add-ons.

Fully white-labeled

Molded to your brand - your colors, your logo, your look and feel across the storefront and apps.

Your data, your servers

No shared multi-tenant pool. Every client's data is isolated, never mixed with another store on the platform.

Compliant by Design

Tailored to South African regulations

Budstack is built around the rules South African cannabis retailers actually operate under, so compliance is part of the platform - not something bolted on afterward.

Read the full security & trust page
  • Age-verification gate before storefront access

  • Immutable, PDF-exportable audit trail
  • Configurable data retention with logged runs
  • Role-based access to keep data need-to-know
Pricing

Scaled to fit your business

Every cannabis retail business is different - number of stores, features, and rollout timeline all shape the quote. We price once we understand how your stores actually run.

FAQ

Have another question? Contact our team.

Yes. The storefront, apps, and customer-facing surfaces are molded to your colors, logo, and look and feel - your customers see your brand, not ours.

On your own servers, in your own database. There's no shared multi-tenant pool - your data is never pooled or shared with any other client on the platform.

Yes. Age-verification gating, Meditrac prescription tracking, full consignment audit trails, and POPIA-aligned data handling are all part of the platform, not an afterthought.

Yes. The Super Admin console gives multi-store operators one place to manage stores, vendors, staff, and marketing across every location.

Yes. Every report and table - stock, orders, vendors, consignment balances, cash-up, and more - has one-click CSV or PDF export. Exports respect whatever filters you've applied and pull the full dataset, not just the visible page.

Pricing depends on the number of stores and features you need, so we scope it per business rather than publishing a flat rate. Reach out and we'll put a plan together for you.
