PRESS RELEASE

Retailers, Processors and Producers to Gain Real-Time Transparency and Greater Control from Seed to Point of Sale

SEATTLE & DENVER (November 17, 2017) — Colorado-based cannabis retail software company, Cova announced today a partnership with Washington-based cannabis technology company, GrassHopperHub to integrate services and streamline the supply chain for retailers, processors, and producers. The partnership is expected to launch January 2018. GrassHopperHub was featured in the COVA partner pavilion at this year’s MJ Biz Con in Las Vegas Nevada November 15-17 in booth #4208.

When integration is complete, retail operators using Cova’s software suite will be able to order inventory through an online business-to-business platform. By using the online marketplace, buyers will eliminate the inefficiencies and costs associated with time-consuming manual processes and create specificity throughout the entire seed-to-sale cycle.

“We are a cannabis retail software designed to make complex operations simple, so this partnership is not just a strategic move for us but the right one,” said Gary Cohen, CEO of Cova. “By integrating with GrassHopperHub, buyers will be able to make multiple purchase orders with multiple sellers in one click, saving them more time and money while staying compliant.”

In addition to the online marketplace, insights such as product descriptions, applicable discounts, product reviews, and budtender ratings provide operators across the supply chain the data they need to make decisions for sustainable growth.

“We are revolutionizing the cannabis industry with an online purchasing platform that’s bridging the gap between seed and point of sale,” said Heidi Arsenault, CEO of GrassHopperHub. “Through this exciting partnership with Cova, cannabis retailers will be able to manage the front and back of the house through a single point of entry – Elevating the retailers experience end-to-end”
