Seed-To-Sale

The legalization of the trade in Marijuana and Hemp is imminent in South Africa. This brings about the need for the government to regulate the industry. South Africa is not unique in this requirement. Many counries legalising the trade in Hemp and Cannabis are implementing monitoring solutions and South Africa is no different.
THCBD - Compliance and Monitoring systems provides a monitoring system that allows the legislative authorities to track the entire Seed-To-Sale process in all the different stages of the process.
