Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Ample Organics is a world-leading cannabis technology provider. Today, their seed to sale tracking and reporting software is available on four continents and is used by seventy percent of Canada's cannabis licence holders. This comprehensive software solution enables licence holders to meet regulatory reporting requirements by recording data about every gram of cannabis through all stages of growth and production. As regulations are continually evolving, Ample Organics has identified a need for improved data collection and management. As a result, Ample Organics is collaborating with Professor Mark Buchner, from the School of Information and Communications Technology at Seneca College. Professor Buchner's expertise in process analysis, data flow management, and project management processes will facilitate an understanding of what data is necessary to support new regulatory requirements. Along with his research assistants, Professor Buchner will work closely with existing cannabis licence holders to understand where improvements can be made in data collection and data management. The resulting recommendations will be presented in a prototype software demonstration for Ample Organics to implement in their upcoming products. *
