Planted Inc

Planted Inc. is an end-to-end business suite and community experience that allows Users and Cannabis Related Businesses of all types to engage in training and education, transact in a secure and compliant payments environment, and operate their business in a more efficient and effective manner.

Our Story

The cannabis industry is the single most scrutinized industry in the country. From vetting and licensing, state mandated track-and-trace reporting, to banking and tax reporting, CRB’s are constantly under the microscope. Bank limitations alone create major CBR challenges that limit the ancillary businesses that will provide traditional services to them.

Facts make Planted Inc. the most valuable business solution for CRB’s of all types. Whether you are a legally licensed grow looking to build your brand and increase market interest, or a dispensary looking to reduce wait-times and long lines, or just an everyday CRB looking for business continuity that will be there for them tomorrow, Planted Inc. offers a solution to solve CRB challenges.
