Overview
BLAZE is a cannabis retail software company operated by BLAZE Solutions, Inc. Its about page timeline lists 2017 as its founding year, and a 2022 MJBizDaily report describes the company as California-based. BLAZE says its software serves thousands of businesses across the US, and as of October 2026 it lists availability to licensed cannabis operators in 20 states. The company secured a seed round in 2019 and closed a Series A in 2021. It acquired Greenline in 2022, expanding into Canada, and acquired Tymber in 2023 to add to its ecommerce offering.
BLAZE launched its current point of sale in 2024 as a web-based, hardware-agnostic system, and says the design reduces dependence on specific hardware configurations. A customer-facing display pairs with iOS or web-based POS setups, and BLAZE also offers a self-serve kiosk. Operators manage every store from a central dashboard and track inventory, purchasing and vendors in the same system.
On compliance, BLAZE states that its POS is integrated with state track-and-trace systems such as Metrc and BioTrack and that it works with those vendors and with state regulators. BLAZE lists daily purchase limit tracking and says the POS enforces state-specific limits. For ID checks, BLAZE lists an IDScan integration that verifies age and scans IDs into the POS through VeriScan. On security, BLAZE says it holds AICPA SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II certifications, runs entirely on Amazon Web Services and is considered a HIPAA business associate.
BLAZE ECOM provides online ordering with real-time POS inventory sync, ACH checkout for returning customers, and APIs for retailers that want a fully custom storefront. The delivery product includes a driver app for iPhone and Android, route optimization based on traffic, digital capture of ID verification images and signatures, and Metrc-compliant delivery ledgers, alongside a Dispatch Hub. Loyalty is built into BLAZE POS and ECOM with one customer record, and shoppers can save a loyalty pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. BLAZEPAY launched in 2024 as a payment facilitator.
The BLAZE partners page lists integrations including Weedmaps for menu management, springbig, Aeropay for bank payments, Onfleet for delivery tasks, Headset for business intelligence, and an Alembic connector to QuickBooks Desktop or Online. As of October 2026, BLAZE directs prospects to a free consultation and demo for pricing. In 2024 BLAZE expanded into regulated liquor and CBD retail in Canada.
