How Sweed Brings AI, Automation, and Innovation to the Industry

Approximately one in every five Americans uses cannabis, and it’s fueling a booming legal market. Edibles, for example, are projected to grow from a $14.8 billion market in 2024 to $48.7 billion in 2030, while CBN, CBG, and other cannabinoid-based products are projected to experience a 22-percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the same timeframe.

Cannabis retailers are poised for great success in this economy, but that requires a solid point-of-sale (POS) system. The cannabis industry is filled with strict regulations that are constantly changing. Products must be tracked from seed to sale, tested, and sold at the right time for maximum profit margins.

Sweed built our advanced POS specifically for cannabis dispensaries. It’s an all-in-one suite with everything your business needs, and it continues to be upgraded to support modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. 

Here’s what you should expect from a top-of-the-line cannabis dispensary POS.

Enhanced AI Capabilities

AI is hailed as one of the most transformative technologies of our time. A recent study from Nvidia found that over 60% of retailers are increasing investments in AI infrastructure through 2026. These advanced capabilities can make or break your business.

Sweed has advanced AI technology fine-tuned for the cannabis business. It can handle our industry’s specific needs to make dispensaries more efficient. This includes customer insights, automated upselling and cross-selling, smart recommendations, and targeted marketing. These advanced decisions are only possible with our proprietary machine learning algorithms.

Our AI scans customer data and inventory to provide personalized suggestions and optimize inventory levels. This is beyond the typical POS machine. Customer spending habits can be tracked across stores based on whether they’re a medical patient or recreational user. And Sweed easily handles customer loyalty rewards programs that further optimize customer profiles. 

Not only that, but we merge eCommerce solutions with in-store to create a seamless shopping experience, no matter where your customers shop.

The more data you gather, the more intelligent our AI gets, and that’s just one part of our technological foundation.

Automating Repetitive Tasks

Retail automation is continuing to grow, with the market expected to grow to nearly $45 billion annually by 2030. Automating mundane tasks reduces manual errors while increasing the speed at which tasks are completed. We have automated marketing and customer engagement solutions for your dispensary.

Sweed enables drip campaigns triggered by customer actions to maintain world-class service through any business process. And it allows A/B testing campaigns to optimize conversions and increase your return on investment. Once each process is tuned exactly to your branding and targeted customers, you’ll notice the increased revenue.

It’s not limited to just email – Sweed has an omnichannel approach to automate campaigns across text, social media, and more. Our POS seamlessly integrates both in-store and delivery, so the experience remains consistent no matter how customers engage.

Of course, technologies always evolve. That’s why Sweed keeps you on the cutting edge.

Staying on the Edge of Innovation

Intuitive design is the root of Sweed’s success. Although technologies will continue to improve, an iconic design transcends these changes. Consider how modern calculators and keyboards have had the same layout for generations. When something works that well, it lasts, and Sweed is highly focused on designing the best retail experience for your entire staff, regardless of size.

Security is also important; Sweed offers role-based permissions so that each staff member has only the necessary access to complete their jobs without causing any problems. Front-end, back-end, and management have different responsibilities, and their digital tools can be perfectly matched with our powerful POS.

We also offer Customizable Dashboards that can be adjusted to suit your business needs. This includes advanced reporting and analytics. And Sweed offers Inventory & Sales Optimization that increases revenue and maximizes profitability.

Finally, Sweed’s Customer Insights & Segmentation uses advanced AI to analyze customer data to identify the best possible sales opportunities. This can be a huge revenue driver when used to target drip campaigns.
