The cannabis industry is rapidly evolving from small operations to large-scale enterprise businesses. As cultivation facilities grow, retail footprints expand, and regulatory requirements increase, cannabis operators need technology capable of managing complex operations across the entire supply chain.

This is where Cannabis ERP platforms become critical.

Glass House Brands Inc., one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis companies in North America, uses Seed & Beyond powered by SAP Business One as its enterprise system to manage cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, retail inventory, compliance, and financial operations.

Why Cannabis Companies Need ERP Systems

Many cannabis operators begin with spreadsheets or disconnected software tools for inventory, cultivation tracking, and accounting. As operations scale, these systems quickly become difficult to manage.

A Cannabis ERP system provides a centralized platform that integrates:

Cultivation and production operations
Inventory and supply chain management
Compliance and regulatory reporting
Financial accounting and reporting
Retail inventory visibility

By operating on a single integrated platform, cannabis companies gain real-time visibility across their entire business.

Managing Over One Million Plants

Glass House Brands operates some of the largest cannabis greenhouse facilities in North America, capable of managing over one million plants across its cultivation operations.

At this scale, accurate inventory tracking, compliance reporting, and operational coordination are essential.

Seed & Beyond, built on SAP Business One, enables Glass House to manage these complex operations from a single enterprise system.

The platform provides:

• Real-time inventory visibility across cultivation and distribution

• Integrated financial management and accounting

• Cannabis compliance and traceability capabilities

• Scalable infrastructure for large cannabis operations

This allows Glass House to maintain operational efficiency and regulatory compliance while continuing to expand its operations.

ERP as the System of Record for Cannabis Operations

For large cannabis companies, ERP systems serve as the system of record for operational and financial data.

Instead of relying on multiple disconnected software platforms, Glass House uses Seed & Beyond as the centralized platform connecting cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, retail inventory, and finance.

This integrated approach ensures that inventory, compliance data, and financial records remain accurate and synchronized across the entire organization.

Powered by SAP Business One

Seed & Beyond is built on SAP Business One, a leading enterprise ERP platform used by companies worldwide.

By combining SAP’s enterprise-grade ERP capabilities with cannabis-specific functionality, Seed & Beyond delivers a powerful solution designed specifically for the cannabis industry.

This allows cannabis companies to operate with the reliability, scalability, and control required for enterprise-level operations.

Enterprise Infrastructure for the Cannabis Industry

As the cannabis industry continues to grow, operators increasingly require enterprise systems capable of managing large-scale operations.

Seed & Beyond provides cannabis companies with a Cannabis ERP platform designed to support cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, retail inventory, compliance, and financial management within a single integrated system.

The collaboration between Glass House Brands, and Seed & Beyond demonstrates how enterprise technology can support the next generation of large-scale cannabis operations.
