Ever clicked on a cannabis product you love and saw 'Out of Stock'?

Frustrating, right? You're not alone.

The rise of online cannabis shopping has made buying more convenient—but it’s also introduced new challenges. Inventory is often messy. Popular strains go out of stock quickly. Menus don’t always reflect what’s available. The result? Frustrated customers, missed sales, and buyers drifting toward competitors.

That's where XShack proves to be a smart option

We don't just simplify online cannabis shopping; we are revolutionizing it with Real-Time Inventory Intelligence. From stock syncing to smart restock notifications, we are bringing the power back to you.

The Inventory Challenge in Online Cannabis Shopping

For both customers and dispensaries, knowing the primary challenges with inventory management is critical. Here are the most significant problems:

• Out-of-Stocks: In a constantly emerging and limited edition strain market, it is common to see popular choices go out of stock quickly due to demand.
  
• Inaccurate Inventory Listings: Manual inventory management creates disparities with online menus and real-time inventory.
  
• Restock Notifications: Without timely notifications, customers fail to re-purchase their favorite products once they are back in stock.
  
• Time Consumption & Frustration: Entering an online menu to view an unavailable product or browse does not result in a good user experience.

Why Real-Time Inventory Intelligence Matters?

Real-time inventory tracking isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a game-changer. Here’s how it helps you and your business:

• Instant Product Visibility: Your customers can see what is available with inventory intelligence. This insight is significant because order cancellations and all of the unhappy customer responses associated with them are a thing of the past.
  
• Restock Notifications: Your customers can be notified in a timely manner as soon as their favorite product is available for purchase again.
  
• Purchasing Decisions: Real-time availability across dispensaries allows customers to make more efficient decisions for shopping for cannabis.
  
• Reduce Overstock and Stockouts: Smart inventory intelligence helps dispensaries balance supply and demand, cutting down both overstock and sellouts.
  
• Loyalty and a Better Customer Experience: With more accurate information and proactive inventory alerts, your customers will return to you time and again.
  
• Better Compliance: Real-time tracking ensures compliance obligations (traceability and reporting accuracy) are being met.
