Challenges With BioTrack Commercial ERP Software
When Pioneer first tried to adopt a different cannabis ERP software, they quickly encountered the same issues that plague many operators:
- Unclear integration timelines and inflated promises about state readiness
- Inconsistent customer support that vanished after payment
- Cost increases tied to new licenses and features that weren’t functional
- Manual processes for manifests, invoices, and compliance reports that consumed hours
Ultimately, the platform became a liability—costly, confusing, and incompatible with Pioneer's lean cannabis business operations.
Pioneer Plant Tech's Search for a New Seed-to-Sale Software
After struggling with a competing cannabis ERP seed-to-sale software system that overpromised and underdelivered, Pioneer Plant Tech began searching for software that was:
- Practical and intuitive for daily operations
- Supportive and hands-on during implementation
- Accurate and compliant with New York’s evolving cannabis requirements
Initial experiences with their former provider were frustrating—training lacked structure, reporting was manual, and the software itself created more confusion than clarity. That changed once Pioneer discovered Flourish Software, referred to by another New York operator, Skeeterboro Farms.
Pioneer Plant's Choice to Switch to Flourish's Cannabis ERP Software
Flourish offered a simple, credible solution backed by real results. The platform was immediately more intuitive, and Pioneer’s onboarding experience—with help from Flourish’s training team—was hands-on, responsive, and focused on operational success.
Pioneer realized that Flourish’s cannabis seed-to-sale platform was built for cultivators like them: small, agile teams that value clarity, compliance, compassion, and real control.
