Make your inventory
work harder.

HQ runs the retail back office. We turn your METRC manifests into live products on your POS and menu, keep your catalog data clean across every system, and tell you every week what to reorder, reprice, or clear.

What’s included

Manifest to menu to reorder, run by HQ.

HQ Managed Retail Inventory is a managed service, not software. A dedicated HQ retail operations team works inside the systems you already use and does the work those systems can’t do for themselves.

Your buyer still buys. Your merchandiser still sets strategy. We run the process underneath it.

Every handoff is a place where someone retypes something.HQ runs the connections.
  1. Vendor
  2. METRC
  3. ERP
  4. POS
  5. Online menu
  6. Promotion
  7. Sale
  8. Reorder
That’s where wrong prices, missing product info, out-of-stock online orders, and expired write-offs come from.

Four steps, every SKU, every location, every week

HQ recommends. Your buyer approves. HQ never buys.

Why HQ

A cannabis retail ops team, not another dashboard.

Software shows you the problem. HQ does the work and brings back the decision.

Does the work, not just the dashboardA dashboard tells you 400 SKUs are aging. HQ finds them, reprices them, tags them, and moves them into clearance.
Cannabis-native, not generic data entryOur team knows what a COA is, why a batch format matters, and what a wrong category breaks downstream.
Alongside your inventory teamKeep them. We take the recurring volume and hand back a morning error log and decisions, not tasks.
Built for multi-location scaleMulti-state and multi-location complexity is why this service exists, not a reason to wait.

How it works: start with your worst workflow.

  1. 1Intro callTell us where product gets stuck between the manifest and the menu. Leave with the module and market to start in.
  2. 2SOPs, access, and an ownerWe agree on the SOPs HQ executes against, scope access to your IT requirements, and name an owner on your side for approvals.
  3. 3Go live in 2-4 weeksHQ takes over the recurring work and reports every week on what was done, what it produced, and what’s next.
