How California's #1 Edibles Brand Tracks Complex Cannabinoid Formulations with Flourish
LEVEL doesn't make gummies. They don't make brownies. They manufacture compressed cannabis tablets using pharmaceutical-grade equipment and proprietary formulations that combine cannabinoids in ratios the plant doesn't produce on its own.
Chris Emerson, PhD, in San Francisco, founded LEVEL and built it on a premise that most of the cannabis industry still hasn't caught up to: the therapeutic and experiential potential of cannabis extends far beyond delta-9 THC. Their product line formulates high concentrations of emergent cannabinoids (CBG, CBDa, CBN, THCa, THCv, delta-8 THC) into precisely dosed tablets designed to produce specific, predictable effects. Boost for energy. Recover for relief. Lights Out for sleep. Every tablet is vegan, calorie-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free, containing 100% cannabis-derived ingredients with nothing superfluous added.
The result is the top-selling edibles brand in California and a product line now licensed to partners in multiple states. LEVEL's tablets have earned recognition from industry analysts, press, and consumers for a consistency that traditional edibles simply can't match.
They manufacture in California and work with a third-party distribution partner to get product to retail shelves statewide.
The Manufacturing Challenge: Precision at the Ingredient Level
Most cannabis edibles manufacturers track inputs at a high level. They see how much THC distillate went into a batch, and how many units came out. LEVEL's formulations are orders of magnitude more complex.
Each product contains a precise ratio of multiple cannabinoid isolates, terpenoids, and flavonoids, blended to produce a specific pharmacological effect profile. The Recover Protab+ alone combines THCa, CBDa, CBG, CBC, and measured amounts of THC. The Lights Out formulation layers THC, CBN, delta-8 THC, THCa, and CBG. These aren't recipes where you can approximate. The ratios are the product. A deviation in formulation affects the consumer experience and risks LEVEL's hard-built reputation.
This creates a manufacturing-tracking challenge that most cannabis software isn't built to handle. LEVEL needed a system that could manage detailed Bills of Materials for every formulation, calculate true production costs, including all inputs at exact quantities, and feed that data directly into their accounting system for margin analysis and financial reporting.
What Flourish Delivers for LEVEL
Bill of Materials precision for complex formulations. Flourish's BOM feature maps directly to LEVEL's formulation. Every cannabinoid isolate, every terpenoid, every input is tracked at the exact quantity used per production run. This gives the team precise visibility into ingredient usage across their full product line, from the Protab 100 down to the 5mg Tablingual, and ensures that what goes into each batch matches the formulation spec exactly.
True cost tracking and margin analysis. For a brand selling through third-party distribution, understanding actual production costs at the SKU level is the difference between running a profitable operation and guessing. Flourish's manufacturing cost tracking, built on the BOM data, gives LEVEL accurate per-unit cost visibility that flows directly into financial decision-making.
QuickBooks Online integration for financial clarity. LEVEL uses Flourish's QuickBooks Online integration to calculate operational and cost data. Manufacturing runs, inventory movements, and cost data are all reconciled, giving LEVEL's leadership confidence that the numbers they're reviewing are accurate and up to date.
A single connected system. Since implementing Flourish in 2021, LEVEL has adopted all the platform's core functions as its operational backbone. Manufacturing, inventory, compliance, and accounting run through one system — not a patchwork of spreadsheets, standalone tools, and manual data transfers.
The Difference It Makes
LEVEL's competitive moat is precision. Their formulations produce effects consumers can rely on, as every tablet is manufactured to pharmaceutical-grade standards with exact cannabinoid ratios. That precision has to extend into the operational and financial side of the business. You can't run a science-driven company on approximate data. Flourish gives LEVEL the manufacturing, cost, and financial infrastructure to match the rigor they bring to product development, so the business runs with the same accuracy as the formulations.
