Rhode Island has both medical and adult-use cannabis programs, with Metrc as the state-mandated seed-to-sale tracking system. All licensed operators must register with and maintain compliance with Metrc. Flourish Software is a certified Metrc integration partner providing enterprise cannabis software for Rhode Island operators.
Our platform handles Metrc compliance automatically while delivering the operational intelligence — inventory management, cost tracking, sales reporting, and business analytics — that Metrc alone does not provide. Your team works in Flourish; compliance data flows to Metrc in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use Metrc in Rhode Island?
Yes. All licensed cannabis operators in Rhode Island are required to use Metrc for seed-to-sale traceability. This is mandated by the Cannabis Control Commission and applies to all license types.
How does Flourish integrate with Metrc?
Flourish is a certified Metrc integration partner. Our platform pushes all required compliance data to Metrc in real time through Metrc's API. Your team works exclusively in Flourish while Metrc receives compliance data automatically in the background, eliminating dual data entry.
Am I required to purchase additional hardware for Metrc?
No. Metrc operates as a web-based system requiring only an internet connection and a browser. You will need to purchase RFID tags (plant and package tags) through the Metrc portal, but no additional software or hardware is required.
How do I get Metrc training in Rhode Island?
Metrc provides mandatory training modules through learn.metrc.com that are specific to Rhode Island's regulatory requirements. Flourish also provides implementation support and training through the Flourish Hub.
What does Flourish provide that Metrc doesn't?
Metrc is a compliance reporting system — it tracks plant and package movements for the state. It does not track costs, margins, customers, sales analytics, or inventory valuation. Flourish provides these operational tools on top of automated Metrc compliance, giving you a complete business platform.
