NY Times Spots Socket Equipped Cannabis Store

A Socket Mobile barcode scanner was recently spotted in the NY Times at the grand opening of Housing Works Cannabis Co in Manhattan. New York is the fifteenth state in the US to legalize recreational marijuana, and Housing Works, a non-profit organization that supports people living with HIV and AIDS, has opened the state's first dispensary. All proceeds from the cannabis storefront will go towards providing stable housing, healthcare, and vocational training for suffering New Yorkers with AIDS and HIV. Their advocacy will help provide lifesaving services for thousands of citizens in New York and recreational purchases made at the dispensary will be a donation to their cause.

Socket Mobile is delighted that our scanners can help facilitate these cannabis sales that go towards a great cause. We provide companies with mobile and countertop barcode scanners as well as NFC readers/writers that give user's app full control of the device. The cannabis industry is just one example of how our devices help speed up operations and meet mandatory regulatory requirements.

How Our Scanners Increase Productivity for Cannabis Operations

All businesses need to keep accurate inventory records, and the cannabis business is no different. A company that sells cannabis needs to know what they have in stock and what they are running low on or out of. Our scanners and readers help speed up service for customers and improve the visibility of currently available products.

Inventory systems that haven't gone digital are becoming obsolete due to inaccurate counts, which can affect the smooth running of any business. When customers come in, they expect to know exactly what is available. Inaccurate counts lead to inaccurate reporting, which can end in fines, especially affecting cannabis businesses. Socket Mobile's data readers improve inventory processes by minimizing human errors and providing quick and reliable numbers through a simple scan.

Many states are also beginning to implement policies allowing businesses to accept Digital IDs. This includes digital vaccination cards, mobile driver's licenses, and other forms of ID that can help identify someone and verify their age. Socket Mobile offers data readers for businesses to read and accept these digital IDs. The cannabis industry can benefit from these barcode scanners and data readers by ensuring that anyone who enters one of their businesses is of legal age, which protects all parties involved.

Socket Mobile knows that cannabis businesses need reliable data capture methods, and Housing Works Cannabis Co has trusted our barcode scanners to get the job done.
