Bitter/Sweet POS
Overall great POS, I have very high hopes for it. Customer service and glitches can be turned around, very excited to see what improvements are made in those areas.
Pros
This POS is very easy to use, and teach employees how to use as well. Also the features are really awesome and useful. Makes it very easy for the business owner to keep track of everything and run the business smoothly.
Cons
Now those awesome features, come with a price. They can be very glitchy sometimes and cause A LOT of problems. When you try to contact customer service to help with the problem, even they can’t figure it out. Leaving it unresolved for extended periods of time until they get around to correcting the glitch. Makes it very frustrating for the business owner and hard to run the business.

Not as promised, We are long-time users
Pros
Less expensive hardware: Uses iPads, TSP printers, change drawers. Not difficult to use (exactly the same as other companies, uses icons.)
Cons
We have been struggling with this software for over a year. It consistently drops items and although their advertising states they support Weedmaps and your website integration, that is a lie. They will kick out a WordPress API key to use as a plugin but that hasn't worked on our website for about a year (no kidding.) When you complain, they say they don't support (or even walk you through! the API key in the plug in. OK. I figured that out but it still doesn't work (ex: we haven't sold clones since spring but can't get rid of them on our online menu (our website is just a shell that leads customers to the Indica POS inventory.Still, it is wrong.) They don't answer questions about WooCommerce because they use their own commerce site, Potify, which DOESN'T INTEGRATE IN TO WORDPRESS and they say Potify doesn't integrate into our website at all. So who cares about Potify? This is just greedy. Our customers don't go to Potify, they go to our website. This company is way behind other companies. Recommendation: don't waste your time with Indica Online unless you want headaches and broken websites. Note: Indica Online drops items. I have sent over frequent screenshots of outright errors and they do nothing.
Reasons for Choosing IndicaOnline
Less expensive, promise of better customer service
Reasons for Switching to IndicaOnline
Cova tech support was horrible.

Software is good but would love to have better customer service response times.
Customer Service response times and work hours do not work for us. We need better access to customer support for issues with indicia. Feels like they are never around or take too long to respond to issues.
Pros
I like the potify integration but it's not easy to make edits to potify when you cant login. I love the reports and how everything works.
Cons
I would like for the weedmaps integration to be smoother and that we could get edit potify easier. Some of the delivery orders could use more info like phone numbers and other comments to show up to be clearer too.

Indica is industry specific and offer a lot more than just a pos
Pros
Love how you can track your sales and see trends. Easy to input inventory and track expenses. Love that you can access anywhere.
Cons
Needs to be more specific when pulling reporting. Kind of limited with certain features. Would like to see more options for accounts as well, for times when theres any errors etc.

A much more inclusive functionality than we were expecting. Wonderful as a POS.
Pros
We really enjoy the usability of the site and how it can can encompass every stage of the process. As a POS system for the cannabis industry, it really allows a lot of capabilities.
Cons
That it is ONLY a POS system. It works for inventory management, but since we are a microbusiness, I wish there was an extension to the software that would allow us to have multiple uses for manufactuing, distribution, and retail.

Cons
Needs more computer functionality. Ability to edit orders ECT. Are iPad exclusive. Ready for orders to get suck on mobile registers. Mobile revised could be more stable

I like your system very much. You really need better tech support
Pros
The functionality is wonderful. Getting help when you need it is almost impossible
Cons
Customer service sucks. It takes way to long to get somebody on the phone. Only once in a while have they been able to give me answers and they never call back

Overall good experience with some hiccups.
Pros
1. Clean simple interface this is usually user friendly. 2. Great to be able to see patient history and notes.
Cons
1. Shutting down service when credit is available/ credit card on file. 2. Subtotal number does not change with applied discount. 3. Two piece price deal causes the 5 piece price to be under. 4. Unable to search keywords unless they are in the exact order. 5. Strain type does not appear when you go back to edit a product. 6. Customer service line often does not get answered. 7. In patient history a discount is not shown and we are forced to do calculation.

Terra Wellness-Indica Online experience 4 mons. in
We have been less than satisfied with the overall experience with the Elo touch and the app. Even with updates, refreshing, various phone calls to technical support, we are still having issues with the app and hardware freezing up and having numerous glitches. About 70-80% of the time, it will not print out a receipt in a timely manner, or without us backing out of the app completely and returning to the order to reprint. At first, we thought this may be an internet issue, but I have checked the numerous other devices from computers, TVs and square pos app, and they all run efficiently. Not sure what to do, but honestly may consider looking into other options. We pay too much for this for it to be efficient 30 percent of the time.
Pros
The app is pretty easy to use, and thank goodness it has been because the demo did not thoroughly cover features and the reports took a bit to understand and find various bits of information for monthly compliance reporting. Not sure there is anything we enjoy most.
Cons
We've had to do a lot of maneuvering through the app to get a flow. We felt the demo did not prepare us for adding items, making purchases and understanding reports. Seems to be better suited for a recreation program, rather than medical.

Direct contact with programmers, tech support are the best
All the support staff has a can-do attitude that makes it easy to do business. Many times I have called and my requests ended up in software updates.
Pros
This software is the best and the most affordable in the industry of cannabis track & trace. I have used many platforms and nothing comes close to ease of use, transparency & compliance.
Cons
Drivers need a 2nd phone to handle delivery on separate shelves. Unlimited Text messaging sms should be included with platinum package as other metrc softwares are now including.

An easy POS. Stoner proof!
Pros
It is so easy to enter in inventory for this pos. We dealt with a few other ones before. They were not industry specific. This pos is tailored and very on point.
Cons
This pos is wi-fi based, so if you are not connected to the internet... you cannot take transactions. Would be nice as well to have an auto vendor system, when a product gets low, an alert to let you know.

Upbeat experience
Overall performance of "software" is higher than middle-of-the-road. A few shortcuts, (i.e. email contacts protected) and fan based email! Otherwise a very structured and informative value for the money.
Pros
Rich, green and leafy in appearance. A definite mello buzz that takes the pain away. I Recommend it to anyone that needs relief from cancer, neuropathy, shingles and back pain. I am no doctor but I know a few, and it does my heart good to know there's good indicaonline to help with these ailments. Thank you.
Cons
Well, the price of course! How many times have we all bought something that we felt was overpriced? I know I have. I think continued customers (regulars) should be discounted after their 5th buy! 25% off. After their 10th buy! 35% off This should go up to 50% off for 100 buys and over. Keeps'em coming back.

Platform that is in the beginning phase of development
Pros
Inventory list is easily accessible. Entering new product is easy. Order entry is relatively easy.
Cons
No CRM, indica online does not sync to weedmaps for vendor verified products. do not have the ability to sync inventory for all offices for weedmaps multiple profiles. This would be acocmplished using the same API key for each offcie you want to have the same inventory We are a delivery service. We have one location for all inventory.

Budshub Benefits
Pros
Great design, innovative software, great client services, very informative and useful when dealing with patients, blacklist option (have not needed to use it, just like the option of being there)
Cons
Client dashboard could be more visually engaging. But I haven't upgraded tier yet, so there could be cons down the line, but I highly doubt that

Clunky and slow
Pros
Many features tailored to the cannabis industry. Helps us keep on track of inventory and links profiles with purchases.
Cons
Not very intuitive and clunky since its web based it loads even on very fast internet connections. Takes forever to update inventory with many steps in between.

Hope you don't have issues because they won't fix them
Pros
Adding items to the cart from a dispatching standpoint was easy.
Cons
They show a bunch of features on the demo but a lot of them don't work and they will not attempt to fix them. You will be unable to text your customers through the POS with out carriers blocking it. This is easily fixed but they won't do it.

Areas of improvements
Appreciate the extended hours for support.
Pros
The value of the software was important to us and price matching for the label maker was greatly appreciated.
Cons
Support does not reply back to emails once you submit a case ticket. When calling in, the noise background is distracting and the lack of reps to answer the calls.
