ACCESS-CONTROL SYSTEMS
One critical aspect of product management is
having access-control systems that limit who
can enter specific areas in a building, such as
product-storage areas. These include key cards
and fobs, like those used in hotels to restrict
access to registered guests.
" It's very important to have a good accesscontrol
device because it limits the number of
people who can enter product rooms. Access
control is one of those things that is universally
accepted because you want to limit access to
wherever cannabis is stored, any back-ofhouse
operations, " Vanderhorst said.
He noted that Jushi restricts access to certain
areas based on job title and responsibility.
" If you're a salesperson, there's no reason
for you to go into the vault to do inventory
functions. An inventory person should have
access to cannabis-storage facilities, while
a budtender or retail sales associate would
not. So, you can restrict access that way, "
Vanderhorst said.
The trim room is one of the
most common areas for internal
product theft.

One of the most common areas for internal
product theft is the trim room, because it's
relatively easy for trimmers to hide flower
unless the area is monitored with either
cameras or security personnel.
Safes are another important bulwark against
internal and external product theft. Some
states require safes, but entrepreneurs in
markets that don't require them are advised to
invest in safes in any case.
Vanderhorst also noted that it's paramount
for businesses to report any product losses to
regulators, whether it be product lost to robbery,
internal theft or other reasons.
" You have to explain any type of loss. There
is some loss as you go through the different
processing stages. All of that gets recorded,
and if there are any discrepancies outside
the acceptable guidelines, then it has to
be reported and it will be investigated " by
regulators. Vanderhorst said. " As a retailer, if
you were to lose any units, you would have to
report that, and that would certainly launch an
investigation into your practices. "
Access-control systems such as key cards oversee
which employees are permitted in various parts
of a cannabis facility.
