BioTrackTHC has traveled an interesting path on its way to becoming one of the most prominent software firms serving the cannabis industry.
The Florida-based company works directly with roughly 1,300 cannabis companies, but the key to its recent success has been its ability to win state contracts for custom seed-to-sale tracking systems.
BioTrack first won Washington State’s contract over 21 other companies in 2013, netting $750,000 for the base deal and even more as part of a two-year maintenance agreement.
So far in 2015, the company has won similar contracts from New York, Illinois and New Mexico, which could bring in more than $1 million in additional revenue. The company has so far won four out of six state contracts awarded to software companies for seed-to-sale tracking systems.
But revenue is only one benefit: Landing government contracts has also helped BioTrack build credibility in the cannabis industry quickly, which in turn has helped the company land more retail customers.
