They genuinely wanted to help retailers

January 17th, 2022 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Cova wasn’t just selling a product. They genuinely wanted to help retailers who wanted to get into the business, to share best practices and everything that should be considered to be successful.

Pros

Cova's dashboard and reporting allows us to easily look at how much we're selling, average transaction cost, and how much one budtender is selling versus another. We can see it in real-time. By 5:00pm we pretty much know what sales are going to be for the day.

Cons

Not that I can think of

Cova has been working with our company to launch our first retail cannabis store

September 13th, 2019 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Cova has been working with our company to launch our first Retail Cannabis Store in Innisfail, Alberta. They have gone above and beyond and they are an amazing group of people to work with and to learn from. If you require a Point of Sale provider for your business, I highly recommend checking out COVA Software.

When we began our search for a cannabis retail software company, we evaluated more than 15 vendors! Our must-have list included: stability, security, and usability. Cova offered all three and more. It was a no brainer to partner with them.
