Our March Partner of the Month is Denver’s own, CannaHauler! Founded by long-time cannabis tech expert, Nick Medlock, CannaHauler was built to help cannabis operators automate the clunky and tedious transportation regulations and workflows that exist in our industry. We recently sat down with Nick, and here is what he had to say about our industry, and about CannaHauler’s role in it…
What defines a good B2B partnership to you?
A good B2B partnership is characterized by aligned goals, clear communication, complementary strengths, collaboration, mutual benefit, risk management, continuous improvement, and ethical conduct. It thrives on shared objectives, effective communication, synergistic capabilities, commitment to working together, tangible benefits for both parties, proactive risk mitigation, ongoing innovation, and adherence to ethical standards.
Why do you value MJstack & its role in cannabis? What value do they bring your clients?
MJstack is renowned for its proficiency within the cannabis technology realm, addressing areas where retail stores’ knowledge of establishing a tech stack might be limited. In the cannabis sector, partnering with MJstack proves invaluable, as they offer essential insights and solutions for legacy AND new markets. Their provision of complimentary consulting services adds significant value to our clients, guaranteeing that businesses possess the requisite technological framework to excel in this fiercely competitive environment. I think the biggest value MJstack can bring is helping new owners/managers and markets streamline their evaluation process when finding the right tech stack for their business.
What do you enjoy about working in cannabis?
At the intersection of people, purpose, and potential lies a wealth of opportunities. The cannabis industry serves as a prime example, of where technology can be a transformative force. Consider the transportation sector: many operators still rely on antiquated pen-and-paper methods and disjointed systems ill-suited for this specialized field. At CannaHauler we relish the chance to revolutionize these operations, alleviating burdens, reducing errors, and optimizing efficiency for our clients. There’s a profound satisfaction in granting businesses the freedom to reclaim their weekends, redirecting precious time from manual paperwork and payment hunts to moments shared with loved ones.
Any shameless plugs?
Constantly iterating and improving, CannaHauler recently launched the Cannabis Load Board connecting shippers and transporters in the cannabis industry. A cannabis load board is important because it enhances efficiency by connecting shippers with carriers quickly and transparently. It ensures compliance with industry regulations, enhances security, saves costs, and expands market access for cannabis businesses. We feel this will be a game changer for cannabis operators.
