SAN FRANCISCO — Treez, the leading enterprise commerce technology platform for the cannabis retail and supply chain industry, announces the expansion of its top-of-the-line point-of-sale software and digital payments platform into eight new states in 2022. This milestone exceeds expansion projections made in February 2022 of entrance into five new markets by the end of the year. The Company’s portfolio now encompasses 14 states with the addition of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Mississippi, South Dakota, Maine, Oregon, Nevada and Illinois. The eight states’ combined gross cannabis market sales estimated at nearly 4.5 billion* in 2022 demonstrate the scale of the industry and potential growth opportunities for the Company.
The Company expanded into the states of Mississippi and South Dakota with a long-time Missouri retail client, cementing their ability to serve both large multi-state operators and independent retailers alike. The Company’s further expansion into new states with current customers is a testament to the success of Treez, as they provide market-leading data and insights to help clients understand their customers and make data-driven business decisions to improve overall revenue in new markets.
“When planning our expansion strategy, there was no doubt in my mind that we would reach our target goal, but to have exceeded our projections is a testament to the growth of the industry and our exceptional team,” said John Yang, CEO of Treez. “What we’re most proud of though is that we’re growing with our clients as they expand into new states as well. Doing so while also entering new markets with brand new clients shows us that the investments we’re making in our product and company after our Series C round in April are paying off.”
The company also recently completed successful live implementations in Massachusetts with clients Green4All and HiBrid.
“Treez is of huge value to me. Between the smooth operations at the point-of-sale and the analytics that allow me to forecast my purchasing power and timing, we’re selling inventory so fast that we barely even look at sell-through rates,” said Paul Merian, co-owner of Massachusetts dispensary, Green4All.
Increased legalization across the U.S. is driving rapid retail expansion and demand for cannabis software. As the leading platform with over 40% market share in California, the largest cannabis market in the U.S., Treez’s expansion efforts are meeting the demand for cannabis POS solutions that expand past compliance reporting and inventory management to offer additional features, such as payment processing, CRM, data analytics and consumer insights. Treez partners with all companies, large and small, to deliver best-of-breed solutions to retailers.
The announcement follows the Company’s recent acquisition of Swifter, a payment solutions platform tailored to meet the unique needs of the cannabis industry. Through the acquisition of Swifter, Treez will be able to provide embedded partner-powered fintech solutions that will ultimately lead to more transparency, stability and better processing rates for retailers.
