Adaptability on Global Scale:
- As different global markets in North America, Europe, and South America have noticeably different legal and compliance requirements for the sale of cannabis-based products, BloomKit's proprietary software is designed in such a fashion that it can adapt to the specific conditions of all such varying jurisdictions.
- CannaOne's proprietary system is built on the platform of open source software and is being deployed on reputable and established web services for integrated back end functionality. It is agile in direction and compliance and it can pivot as required for different vendors and markets by not being dependent on a licensed platform for the management or vendor front end.
Focus on Big Data and Development of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
- Leveraging our proprietary technology, product lineage, strain origin and attributes are retained, and database managed with each inventory item stored in a comparative manner across vendors.
- Cross vendor attribute data points allow for advanced customer stories and profiling groups for predictive shopping tendency and inventory management / demand prediction.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Machine learning is being utilized by feeding data to multiple partners while ultimately retaining data ownership so that the interpretation of that information is proprietary to BloomKit.
Consumer Acquisition & Engagement:
- BloomKit provides CBD/THC based products with an additional key focus on providing a platform of impartial education to its users that will in turn drive the development of a community of highly engaged and informed consumers.
- The value of a customer in the THC/CBD market is estimated to have a lifetime value of (X); profiling that customer beyond their specific interactions makes that value potentially exponential compared to the competition. Each data point collected, managed and analyzed by BloomKit allows for further extrapolation of individual consumer tendencies and allows for a completely customized shopping experience.
- CannaOne's Vice President of Product Development, Mr. Dominic Stann, further stated that "being first in the market has immeasurable value; using unique in-depth market knowledge and a ground up specific market and application focus BloomKit can be implemented with a customized fulfillment and payment processing element to work to ensure best in the industry times to market."
