The short version
Most cannabis businesses run two systems that never quite agree with each other: a seed-to-sale tracker built for the regulator, and an accounting package built for the bank. 365 Cannabis exists to collapse that split. It is a full ERP on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with cultivation, processing, distribution, and retail modules layered onto Microsoft's financial core, aimed at vertically integrated operators that want one record from plant to point of sale. The vendor reports deployments across 22 US states, seven Canadian provinces, and ten countries.
Where 365 Cannabis comes from
The company started in 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. What followed is one of the more turbulent ownership histories in the segment. Akerna Corp, at the time a publicly traded cannabis-technology group, bought 365 Cannabis in late 2021 for roughly 17 million dollars. When Akerna exited the software business, the product went back to a group of prior investors operating as 365 Holdco at the start of 2023. The third change came in February 2026, when Innovia Consulting, a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central consultancy headquartered in Onalaska, Wisconsin, acquired 365 Cannabis together with its sister firm 365Vertical. Product name and team carried over.
What it covers
Six modules sit on the Business Central core: financials; cultivation, with harvest forecasting and plant tracking; processing, with recipe and routing configuration; CRM for wholesale sales; distribution and inventory management; and retail with point-of-sale plus back-office functions. Analytics, reporting, and a cannabis lounge module complete the picture.
Compliance is not an add-on here. The system talks to state-mandated track-and-trace platforms such as METRC and BioTrack, synchronizing plant, batch, and package data with whichever regulator applies.
Who buys it
The intended customer grows, processes, distributes, and sells under one corporate roof. Multi-state operators are the clearest case, because they need intercompany and multi-entity accounting across jurisdictions that rarely agree on anything. Licensed producers in Canada and operators in international markets form a secondary audience. The positioning sits above seed-to-sale point solutions, which handle regulatory tracking but leave financials and operations to someone else.
Licensing, hosting, cost
Delivery is cloud only, hosted on Microsoft Azure. Pricing is not published. Each project is quoted individually and bundles three cost blocks: Business Central licensing, the cannabis-specific modules, and implementation services. Budget for a mid-market ERP implementation, not a monthly software subscription.
The case for and against
The case for 365 Cannabis rests on its foundation. Very few vendors offer a true full ERP purpose-built for cannabis, and Business Central underneath means real financials, cost accounting that stands up to 280E scrutiny, and a mainstream technology base rather than a compliance tool with an invoice screen attached. For a vertically integrated or multi-state operator whose accounting currently stretches between a state tracker and a small-business ledger, that is the consolidation this segment has lacked.
The case against is partly cost, partly history. A single dispensary or one small cultivation site would carry mid-market ERP weight, and pay mid-market ERP money, for integration depth it would rarely touch; point solutions cover that ground more cheaply. Ownership, meanwhile, has changed three times since 2021. The 2026 move to Innovia, a long-standing Microsoft partner, reads as stabilizing rather than opportunistic, but a shortlist should still verify track-and-trace coverage for its own states during selection, because regulator requirements differ sharply from one jurisdiction to the next.
