How Dispensight Helps

This page explains the practical impact of Dispensight on a dispensary’s day‑to‑day: what changes on the floor, which KPIs move, and how teams save time. It’s marketing, yes - but grounded in measurable, repeatable outcomes from real store operations.

Outcomes You Can Expect (measurable & team‑friendly)

Higher revenue per shift

Staff prompts focus on retention, UPT, and basket size. Managers get live coaching cues, not end‑of‑day post‑mortems.

Cleaner staffing & breaks

Forecasts (incl. weather effects) reveal traffic spikes. You align lunches and coverage to demand rather than guesswork.

Fewer stockouts

Velocity + attach‑rate insights flag upcoming gaps so you reorder earlier and push substitutes intentionally.

Consistent execution

Playbooks convert insights into concrete actions per role (GM/ASM/budtender/inventory) so everyone rows in sync.

Less reporting time

Near‑real‑time dashboards replace spreadsheet wrangling. Daily recaps and PDF exports ship with one click.

Multi‑store visibility

Benchmarks expose what’s working in Store A that Store B can adopt. Roll out wins quickly with shared scorecards.

What It Tracks & Why It Matters

RetentionRepeat‑visit share. Strong predictor of revenue health and promo ROI.
UPTUnits per transaction. Lifts when staff recommends logical add‑ons.
Basket SizeAvg. spend per order. Moves with promos, attach, and menu curation.
ConversionTraffic → purchases. Informs staffing and floor coaching.
VelocitySales/run‑rate per SKU. Core for reorders and promo planning.
Forecast vs ActualMAPE/RMSE tracked daily to validate model reliability.

Note: Dispensight’s forecasting blends Bayesian/ML approaches and accounts for exogenous variables like weather and weekday effects. Interval coverage and residual profiles are monitored to prevent drift and overfitting.

How the Workflow Fits Your Team

For Owners & GMs

  • 10‑minute pulse on revenue, retention, UPT, and basket size across locations.
  • Immediate view of under/over‑performance vs. forecast, with impact estimates.
  • Printable PDF recaps for investors or head office - no spreadsheet surgery.

For Assistant Managers

  • Shift‑level coaching prompts (e.g., “attach 0.3 UPT via pre‑roll + cart bundle”).
  • Break planning from demand forecasts; fewer understaffed peaks.
  • Promo heatmaps: what actually moved the needle, today.

For Budtenders

  • Simple, specific attach suggestions ("customers buying X often add Y").
  • Clear daily focus: retention touches, basket‑builder items, and add‑on scripts.
  • Less guesswork: the system surfaces the next best action per customer pattern.

For Inventory Leads

  • Velocity warnings with lead‑time buffers to avoid stockouts.
  • Substitution recommendations when key SKUs go tight.
  • Promo planning from attach‑rate and margin insights, not anecdotes.

What Makes It Different

Predict first, then prescribe

We forecast demand and then translate it into role‑specific actions - so teams know what to do, not just what happened.

Store‑tested cadences

Built around real shift rhythms (open/mid/close) with fast recaps and coaching cues that fit on a phone screen.

Bias checks & validation

Daily MAPE/RMSE, interval calibration, and residual audits keep models honest. Forecasts are only useful if they’re provably accurate.

Implementation (fast & low‑friction)

Step 1

Connect data

Point Dispensight at your POS/export PDFs or secure feeds. We support multi‑store setups.

Step 2

Calibrate

Baseline a few weeks of history to tune forecasts for seasonality, weather, and local patterns.

Step 3

Go live

Start shift coaching and inventory alerts. Export daily/weekly PDFs for leadership in one click.

Typical setup uses read‑only access to exports; we avoid writing into your POS. Data stays scoped for analytics only.

Privacy & Compliance

Designed with Canadian dispensaries in mind. Dispensight supports privacy‑respecting workflows (e.g., hashed IDs for cohorting) and aims to align with PIPEDA/PIPA principles on data minimization and purpose limitation. Ask us about your province‑specific requirements.

Proof, Not Hype

We continually track:

When you view the live analysis, you’ll see these validations right beside the numbers they’re judging.
