DENVER, April 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Business intelligence from Akerna (Nasdaq: KERN), a leading compliance technology provider and developer of the cannabis industry’s first seed-to-sale enterprise resource planning (ERP) software technology (MJ Platform®) shows that April 15th, after the COVID-19 stimulus checks were received by many, was far and away the biggest Wednesday in the history of legal cannabis, with both ticket size and total revenue up over 50% compared to a normal Wednesday in 2020.

Year over year, March 2019 to March 2020, total cannabis sales increased 78%. During the same period, recreational cannabis spending is up with a 20% increase in ticket size. The ticket size for the under 30 age group also increased by 17%.  As the industry evolves to meet customer needs, product pick-up as a fulfillment method increased 200%, accounting for 9% of total sales. However, as panic buying started to subside, business intelligence shows, medical cannabis revenues have returned to early 2020 ranges; the slightly smaller number of transactions is being offset by larger tickets. In contrast, overall recreational sales remain below early 2020 revenues; a 30+% increase in average ticket size has not been enough to compensate for a smaller number of shoppers.

“The data we see wasn’t unexpected. Recreational users stockpiled in March and now have no immediate need to make additional purchases,” said Aryeh Primus, vice president of analytics, Akerna. “Medical cannabis is a five billion dollar industry serving more than two million patients. These patients have consistent needs driving regular demand.”

MJ Freeway is more than just software–MJ Platform recently rolled-out a new offering with Platform Insights.

Operators, investors, and regulators can now access the industry’s largest, and most statistically-relevant database to drive data-driven cannabis decisions.

Platform Insights provides:

  • The greatest statistical relevance across countries
  • Normalized data (not farmed from various disparate POS platforms)
  • Full cannabis supply chain data
  • Business insights founded in category management methodology

What is the gross margin return on your inventory?
What SKUs should you be carrying?
How do basket adjacencies influence your discounting and retention strategy?
What does a medical market look like a year or 5 years after decriminalizing cannabis?
These are a few of the many questions Platform Insights can help you answer.
