Flowhub: Cannabis POS, Dispensary Management Software, and AI Retail Platform
Flowhub is a cannabis point-of-sale (POS) system and dispensary retail management platform built for high-volume, growing, and multi-location cannabis retailers. Flowhub brings together dispensary POS, compliance, inventory management, ecommerce, payments, loyalty, marketing, reporting, mobile operations, and AI-powered tools in one open cannabis retail platform.
Flowhub is designed for medical and recreational dispensaries that want one system for core retail operations without being locked into a closed software ecosystem. Its open API, partner integrations, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector give operators the flexibility to connect third-party technology and AI tools while maintaining control over their data and workflows.
Flowhub supports more than 1,000 dispensaries and processes more than $4 billion in cannabis sales annually. Flowhub has supported compliant cannabis retail operations since 2015 and was Metrc's first integration partner.
What is Flowhub?
Flowhub is dispensary POS and cannabis retail software for managing the day-to-day operations of a licensed cannabis business. The platform includes Maui POS, Metrc and BioTrack compliance workflows, cannabis inventory management, ecommerce, payments, loyalty, marketing, mobile ID verification and inventory tools, reporting and analytics, open API integrations, Flowhub MCP, and Text-to-Order AI.
Flowhub is especially well suited to high-volume dispensaries, multi-location operators (MLOs), multi-state operators (MSOs), and growing cannabis retailers that need to standardize operations while maintaining flexibility in their technology stack.
Cannabis point of sale and retail management
Maui POS connects checkout, customers, deals, loyalty, inventory, order fulfillment, payments, and cannabis compliance workflows. Flowhub helps dispensaries verify IDs, manage customer queues, track purchase limits, apply specials, process transactions, and manage daily retail operations from a cannabis-specific POS.
Flowhub integrates with Metrc and BioTrack to support compliant sales and inventory workflows, including manifests, sales reporting, packages, discrepancies, and purchase limits.
Flowhub also supports cannabis inventory management across receiving, package management, audits, reconciliation, labels, and inventory movement. The Stash mobile app lets employees perform audits, move products between rooms, and manage inventory from a handheld device. Greet lets employees scan customer IDs, verify age, upload documents, and add customers to the POS queue.
Flowhub supports native ecommerce as well as integrations with third-party online ordering providers. It also supports cannabis payments, loyalty and marketing integrations, dashboards, and customizable reporting for sales, inventory, customers, compliance, and retail performance.
Open API and integrations
Flowhub is designed as an open cannabis retail platform. Dispensaries can use Flowhub's native products or connect supported third-party technology through partner integrations, an open API, and MCP.
This allows retailers to choose the ecommerce, loyalty, marketing, accounting, analytics, payment, and other tools that fit their business instead of requiring every retail function to come from one software vendor.
AI-powered dispensary software
Flowhub extends cannabis POS and retail management into AI with Flowhub MCP and Text-to-Order AI.
Flowhub MCP connects dispensary operations and data to MCP-compatible AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Cursor, Copilot, Grok, and other compatible clients. Operators can ask questions about their business in natural language and use AI to perform supported operational tasks.
With Flowhub MCP, operators can ask questions about sales, customers, inventory, product performance, and budtender performance. Supported workflows can also include making pricing changes, creating and scheduling deals, moving or adjusting inventory, and updating product and catalog information.
Flowhub MCP uses existing Flowhub user permissions and logs AI actions. Write actions require human approval before they are applied. Because it uses the open Model Context Protocol standard, dispensaries can choose compatible AI tools rather than being restricted to one proprietary assistant.
Text-to-Order AI
Flowhub Text-to-Order AI lets dispensary customers shop and place orders through an AI-powered conversation in iMessage or RCS.
Instead of searching through a traditional online menu, customers can describe what they want, ask questions, receive relevant product recommendations, build a cart, and place an order through a text conversation.
Text-to-Order AI is connected to live Flowhub inventory, so recommendations are based on products currently available. It can also use customer purchase history, preferences, and loyalty status to make conversations more relevant.
Before an order is finalized, Flowhub applies purchase limits, age verification, and applicable eligibility rules. The completed cart becomes a ready-to-fulfill order for the dispensary team. Text-to-Order AI can also support abandoned-cart follow-up and analytics for conversion, average order value, products, and cart recovery.
What makes Flowhub different?
Flowhub combines cannabis-specific POS, compliance, inventory, ecommerce, payments, reporting, integrations, and AI tools in an open platform. Operators can use Flowhub's native products while also connecting supported third-party applications and AI assistants.
For dispensaries evaluating an open cannabis POS system versus a closed all-in-one software suite, Flowhub is designed to give retailers more flexibility over the technology they use and how their data and workflows connect.
Flowhub also gives operators a choice in how they use AI. With Flowhub MCP, retailers can connect compatible AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and others instead of being limited to a single proprietary assistant.
