# Budy — Cannabis Dispensary POS & Dispensary Management Software

> Budy is cannabis dispensary POS and dispensary management software: a point-of-sale, inventory and compliance system built for cannabis dispensaries and cannabis retail, and also used by coffee shops and specialty retail. It prices flower per gram from a live Bluetooth scale, tracks strains with terpene and THC/CBD attributes, captures compliance documents, and keeps selling when the internet drops — orders sync automatically once the connection returns. It reports sales, inventory adjustments and waste to Metrc and BioTrack for US state-regulated markets. Budy runs on Android, iOS, Windows and Android TV, ships in nine languages, and costs nothing for the first two months, then USD 98 a month per store with no setup fees and no per-transaction charges. Made by Budy LLC, Sheridan, Wyoming, United States.

Budy is a native app rather than a browser tab: each terminal holds its own database, so checkout, weighing, label printing and member lookup all keep working with no connection. Dispensaries usually run it on hardware they already own — an Android or iOS phone or tablet, or a Windows PC — or on a purpose-built SUNMI countertop terminal.

Terms this product answers to: cannabis POS software, dispensary POS, dispensary management software, marijuana dispensary software, dispensary point of sale, cannabis inventory software, budtender POS, Bluetooth scale POS, weight-based cannabis pricing, offline POS, Thai dispensary software, coffee shop POS.

## Industries

- [Cannabis dispensary POS](https://budy.app/industries/cannabis-dispensary): How Budy handles a dispensary counter — flower weighed and priced per gram, strain and terpene data on the product, age checks before payment, batch traceability to the receipt
- [CBD, hemp and smoke shop POS](https://budy.app/industries/hemp-cbd-store): Budy for hemp-derived retail — flower priced per gram off a scale, COAs and batch records held against the lot, age checks before payment. These shops are generally outside state seed-to-sale systems, so Metrc is not required to use Budy
- [Coffee shop POS](https://budy.app/industries/coffee-shop): Fast checkout for drinks and food with modifier-heavy menus, running on the same app as the cannabis build
- [Thai dispensary software](https://budy.app/industries/thai-dispensary): Budy in Thailand — full Thai interface, THB pricing, and the paperwork Thai dispensaries are asked for
- [South African cannabis club POS](https://budy.app/industries/south-african-cannabis-club): Budy for South African private members' clubs — flower weighed and priced per gram in rand, the member and the batch on the same line, the club's own member register and allocation log, and an offline-first till. The page also sets out plainly where South African law stands as at August 2026: private adult use was decriminalised by Prince (2018), commercial sale was not, the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act 7 of 2024 is signed but never brought into force, there is no club licence and no seed-to-sale system. Budy does not claim to make a club lawful

## Compliance and hardware

- [Compliance](https://budy.app/compliance): The customer gate that runs before payment, ID and passport reading on the terminal, lot provenance frozen at receipt, and prescriptions held in a private vault behind five-minute expiring links with per-view access logging
- [Hardware](https://budy.app/hardware): The terminals, Bluetooth scales, label printers, scanners and cash drawers Budy is tested against, with a spec page per device — including SUNMI D3, T3 PRO and T2s terminals, Acaia Lunar and Pearl S scales, and Niimbot D11-H and B21S label printers

## Features

- [Bluetooth scale pricing](https://budy.app/features/bluetooth-scale): Live gram-accurate weight streamed from Acaia Lunar, Pearl and Pyxis scales straight into the price on the sale — no typing a number the customer cannot verify
- [Product Recognition Agent](https://budy.app/features/ai-smart-scanner): Point a camera at a product and the agent fills in name, brand, category and images, so a shop can open without hand-entering a catalogue. Barcodes resolve against multiple commercial and open product databases covering hundreds of millions of retail items, with a web-search fallback when a code is in none of them
- [Strain researcher](https://budy.app/features/strain-researcher): A built-in library of 7,000+ strain profiles — terpenes, taste, effects, relief — plus an on-board AI researcher that profiles strains it has never seen, and custom strain creation for growers
- [Budy TV](https://budy.app/features/budy-tv): Turns any Android TV, Google TV or tablet into a synced menu board and a customer-facing live cart, paired to the POS with a six-digit code
- [Footfall tracking](https://budy.app/features/footfall): Draw a counting zone on the entrance camera's picture and Budy counts visitors on the POS device itself — in, out and unique visitors, direction-aware, with no cloud video and no extra hardware
- [Label & receipt printing](https://budy.app/features/label-printing): Niimbot label printers and ESC/POS receipt printers pair themselves, label size and roll level are read from the roll's RFID tag, and checkout prints a batch-coded label for every bag — from any till over the store's own network, online or not
- [Inventory management](https://budy.app/features/inventory-management): Dispensary-native inventory — strain-linked products sold per gram and per piece with weight pricing, dated lot codes with COAs and frozen provenance, oldest-first per-lot deduction, flower-to-pre-roll conversion that keeps the lot chain, purchase orders with per-line farm paperwork, a supplier scorecard, and expiry/aged-stock reporting — all offline-first
- [Supported devices](https://budy.app/features/supported-devices): What Budy runs on — any recent Android or iOS phone or tablet, Windows PCs, and purpose-built POS terminals
