- Proprietary system developed by the Hemp Engine™ development team and Sprout™, the leading CRM provider to the cannabis industry and a MariMed strategic partner
- A turnkey retail and educational in-store platform for emerging CBD sector
- Provides major benefits to both small and mass market retailers and their customers
Norwood, MA, Aug. 05, 2019 /AxisWire/ MariMed Hemp, a subsidiary of MariMed, Inc. (OTCQB: MRMD), a leading multi-state cannabis and hemp operator focused on health and wellness, has launched the Hemp Engine™, a turnkey retail marketing platform for the fast-growing CBD sector.
The platform supports sales and marketing decisions for a wide range of CBD products based on quality, popularity and price point, allowing distributors and retailers to maximize returns and increase sales efficiency. Co-developed with Sprout™, the leading CRM provider to the cannabis industry, the platform is driven by proprietary data and technology.
The Hemp Engine solution includes a complete “store-within-a-store” package, pre-stocked with a range of CBD products centered on a retailer’s particular criteria. The platform collects real time data and pre-screens the data for quality and content. The system helps the retailer by reducing the time and risk typically involved in choosing among a wide and sometimes confusing array of CBD products. The package also includes electronic tablets that provide store customers interactive, educational information about CBD product attributes, benefits and usage at the point-of-sale.
“Hemp Engine creates powerful new distribution opportunities for our hemp-derived CBD brands,” commented MariMed CEO, Robert Fireman. “It will help us further penetrate the growing hemp space. We expect to deliver the first in-store installations over the next several weeks.”
Earlier this year, the company converted its $30 million debenture into a one-third equity ownership of GenCanna Global, Inc., the Kentucky-based, national leader in cultivation and production of seed-to-sale cGMP quality CBD. MariMed Hemp was established to augment this investment and capitalize on MariMed’s marketing expertise with a new family of CBD brands.
According to Rick Granoff, co-founder of the Hemp Engine: “The Hemp Engine addresses the major needs of retailers and consumers as CBD popularity and consumption continues to grow. As a one-stop-shop that greatly simplifies decision making for both groups, it demonstrates MariMed’s continued thought leadership in health and wellness and industry-leading innovative approach to the CBD space.”
