Challenge
In the countries where cannabis production has been legalized, there’s a clear lack of specialized high-quality software which minimizes the need for human labor use. This is exactly what compelled our client to look for a cannabis app development company. The idea behind this fully-fledged web platform is to cover the needs of cannabis production and retail in a narrow and highly regulated market.
The client wanted us to create a licensed product — a desktop ERP system that would control and help employees report on each stage of cannabis production. This includes manufacturing, delivery, and financial operations. The cannabis app development project was meant to be legally controlled by the government, which meant it was important to have all processes as transparent as possible. Security and high performance capabilities also were among the features requested by the client.

Although QArea has over 21 years of extensive experience in software development, this was the first time we were involved in custom app development for cannabis platform. This is why we started by researching the market and familiarizing ourselves with the specific requirements of the cannabis industry in the US. This helped us visualize the solution and emphasize the features that are particularly important.
From the software standpoint, the ERP system had to be flawless. We had to engineer the architecture that quickly responded to rapidly-generated events, and for that, we needed to make sure the API is well-integrated both with the backend and frontend.
In the course of development, we used Python and JavaScript as the main programming languages and put the data in SQL-type databases. Our expertise in processing, analysis, and engineering led us to a reasonable solution in the face of a custom Odoo 8-API module for the Magento CRM. Its capabilities include (but are not limited to) managing working stations, tracking the production progress, controlling financial operations, and planning transactions and points of sales. We successfully implemented the feature of automatic reports to the government at all stages of production.
Software security standards are very high in the USA. Licensed products must be load-resistant and secure, so the next objective was to achieve the maximum level of protection. This was needed for data processing, financial operations, and transactions. For this cannabis app development project, QArea focused on how well the integration of protection modules is performed across the whole ecosystem of services.
It was also necessary to establish an encrypted connection between the host server and the server of a specific governmental entity. It would provide business owners with the ability to manage their legal affairs regularly, on time, and more efficiently. This is where our backend development expertise came in handy once again.
