Canix’s Retail ID / Metrc Integration: Streamlining Data Access Across the Cannabis Supply Chain

What Is Retail ID?

Retail ID is a new feature that links every cannabis product to a unique, consistent identifier, making it easier than ever for test data, product details, and compliance information to flow seamlessly between cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets, manually updating COAs, or retyping product information, Retail ID automates the process. Each SKU carries a persistent, shareable ID that connects uniform test data across the entire supply chain—with minimal effort.

Retail ID Workflow

Metrc Retail ID is a unique QR code assigned to each individual cannabis product unit. This code links that specific item to detailed information stored in Metrc – such as its origin, lab testing results, Certificate of Analysis (COA), and other compliance data.

This code travels across the supply chain, so products are able to be labeled at the Brand or Manufacturer, transported by the distributor, and scanned by the Retailer - without any additional labeling.

How Canix is Helping Customers with Retail ID

Canix’s Retail ID integration is build directly in its dynamic label maker - so you can use Retail ID directly in your existing workflow.

It’s been in production for several months now, and is helping customers save time, eliminate re-labeling, and make important information available to consumers.
