Software to Validate Age, ID and Fraud for Dispensaries


There is a lot of debate surrounding the use of marijuana for medical reasons with many states approving its use while others banning it. Other than approval problems, medical marijuana dispensaries are facing other problems such as obtaining loans from banks and age-related fraud.  Even states that approve the medical use of marijuana have restrictions on its usage and in most cases, age is a deciding factor. When medical marijuana dispensaries face age-related fraud, it makes it more difficult for them to wade through legal battles. For these reasons, validating age and ID have become an integral part of business for these dispensaries.

To help these dispensaries, companies such as Tranzbyte are creating appropriate software. Tranzbyte's software called ZaZZZ is a product that offers a unique marketing solution for dispensaries. This software looks through thousands of available products and selects those that are likely to be popular with the clientele of dispensaries. This product is developed by Altitude Organic Corporation, a subsidiary of  Tranzbyte. This company owns multiple independent retail outlets in Canada, California and Arizona.

A latest initiative by this company is the use of Cyber Kiosk's product as a component of ZaZZZ. Cyber Kiosk's flagship product Cyber Thingy provides many features such as increased brand awareness, better in-store experience for customers and self-service billing to account for cash transactions. The inclusion of such a component in ZaZZZ is likely to make it more popular and user-friendly. Also, Cyber Thingy is sure to enhance the functionality of ZaZZZ to make it a one-stop product for all medical marijuana dispensaries.

Such products are likely to generate a lot of interest in medical marijuana and make its use more controlled. By doing so, it may even be possible to eliminate the use of marijuana as an illegal drug someday in the future.
