MassRoots and Grownetics Partner to Analyze Data from Cannabis Supply Chain

MassRoots, Inc. (OTCQB:MSRT) , one of the leading publicly-traded cannabis technology companies, and Grownetics, a leader in cultivation automation and optimization for the cannabis industry, are pleased to announce they are partnering to aggregate data collected throughout the cannabis supply chain to provide reports and analysis to cannabis businesses.
“Over the past year, we have worked diligently to develop the functionality to allow cannabis consumers to review the products they purchase in dispensaries. By comparing this information with the millions of data points collected by the Grownetics system, both companies could be able to provide invaluable information at the strain level to our business clients,” stated MassRoots Chief Executive Officer Isaac Dietrich. “We believe this analysis will be some of the most comprehensive and innovative reporting ever offered about specific strains and products in the cannabis industry.”

Grownetics, which is headquartered at the Boomtown Accelerator in Boulder, CO, is developing a sophisticated automation system for cannabis cultivators and could be the future of agricultural artificial intelligence. By combining big data and machine learning optimization algorithms, the company helps growers reduce costs, decrease energy usage, and increase overall quality and yield based on strain.
“We’re extremely excited about this partnership with MassRoots. Until this point, our team has strived to developed the most effective and innovative cultivation system on the market,” added Eli Duffy, Grownetics CEO. “Partnering with MassRoots will allow us to leverage their connections and expertise to scale our technology and become the most dominant cultivation technology company in the cannabis industry.”
MassRoots announced in January that it closed an acquisition of DDDigital, Inc. d.b.a. “Whaxy,” a menu management and online ordering system for medical and adult-use dispensaries. By correlating the data collected by this system with the data collected by MassRoots’ social platform and by Grownetics, there is significant potential for meaningful analysis.
“Grownetics’ value proposition to cannabis cultivation facilities is clear — it allows them to increase yields with less resources,” continued Dietrich. “We believe the partnership creates a value-add to our offerings to businesses.”
Based on initial data with their first customer, The Flower Collective, Grownetics’ technology could provide up to a 60% reduction in operating costs. These results have been validated by the University of Colorado’sLeeds School of Business Entrepreneurial Solutions team. The technology has been used by Ph.D researchers in California to optimize indoor cultivation.
The strategic alliance with Grownetics complements the recently announced partnership between MassRoots and New Frontier Data, and could amplify the depth and extent of analysis provided to cannabis business cultivators, retailers, and consumers.
