There is no software to purchase. Metrc is cloud hosted and will be made available to all industry participants. There are two costs associated with Metrc’s “seed-to-sale” inventory tracking system: 1. A monthly $40.00 licensing fee for each licensee (i.e. cultivator, processor, testing laboratory and dispensary) that covers training and support. 2. Cost associated with procurement of $0.45 for plant tags and $0.25 for package tags from Metrc.
The Metrc system combines proprietary software and plant tags embedded with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track the lifecycle of every plant under regulated cultivation. When harvested, package tags continue to track material until it is sold, proving complete supply chain visibility to regulators.
Metrc has a dedicated support team who is available to resolve technical support issues. The support team can be reached via phone (877-566-6506) or through the Support Portal.
No. Information in the system is private and confidential, available only to regulators. Licensees are provided access to only their own information in the Metrc system. Licensees are not able to see information about other licensees.
The Metrc system tracks marijuana and marijuana products from growth to the point of sale. Metrc’s open Application Programming Interface (API) allows licensees to upload plant and product data directly into the system using third-party inventory management and point-of-sale software. Each licensee is responsible for ensuring their ability to interface with Guam’s procured system. All licensees are required to use the tags supplied by Metrc LLC.
Metrc’s open Application Programming Interface (API) gives third-party providers the ability to upload information directly into Metrc’s database. The list of service providers validated in Metrc’s system is available here.
Metrc is a completely web-hosted system. That means that all access to Metrc is done via the internet and only requires an internet connection and a web browser. No additional hardware is required. Also, there is no software to download, install, or maintain. Barcode and/or RFID readers are optional accessories that a licensee may choose to use. A decision to buy such additional equipment is made at the sole discretion of the individual licensee.
Once licenses have been awarded, licensees can sign up for training through Metrc Learn. Our interactive platform offers an extensive library of facility-based courses designed to meet your unique needs.
