Assay

The operating system for the botanical supply chain

The record that ships with the lot.

Lots, structured COAs, QA-gated release, genealogy, and recall trace — one system instead of a spreadsheet and an inbox. Tamper-evident, recall-ready records that help you prove chain of custody.

A held lot cannot ship. Not a policy — a system rule.

Spreadsheets don't answer recall questions. Records do.

Most operators in this industry run on spreadsheets and inboxes. That works until it doesn't: nobody can say which lots went to which customers, COAs live in email threads nobody can search under pressure, and product ships before QA looks at it. Assay keeps lots, documents, and money in one system — so the answer is one query, not an archaeology project.

What Assay runs

One operating system from receiving to the shelf.

lots + coas

Every lot carries its record

Structured COAs — parameters, methods, results — ride the lot itself, not an email inbox. Specs compare against results automatically, attribute by attribute.

qa-gated release

A held lot cannot ship

Release is a system rule, not a policy people remember under pressure. Every new lot lands pending; the identity test is required; shipping is blocked until QA says released.

genealogy + recall

Recall answers in one query

Receipt to split to blend to shipment — the whole tree, traceable in both directions. “Where did lot 4417 go?” stops being a two-day archaeology project.

seed to shelf

Cultivation is in the chain

Genetics, mother plants, grow lots, harvests — harvest births a real inventory lot with its provenance attached, so the record starts at the plant, not the dock.

money books itself

The ledger writes itself

The receipt is the GRNI entry, the shipment is the COGS entry, the invoice is the AR entry — double-entry accounting posted by the operational steps themselves.

ai in every department

An assistant in every seat

Department AIs look up live data, answer questions, and draft actions — and every write they propose waits for a human to confirm. Nothing acts on its own.

Plus the rest of the operating layer: procurement and receiving, inventory with bins and counts, manufacturing and toll processing, logistics with hazmat shipping docs, customer and supplier portals, department-level analytics — and CSV import that brings your existing partners, products, and opening inventory in with you.

One record, every custody-holder

Built for the whole chain — not just one link.

FarmExtractorLabCarrierDistributorCo-manBrand

Farms, extraction facilities, labs, carriers, distributors, co-manufacturers, brands — every custody-holder works a different layer of the same supply chain, and each layer runs on Assay by itself. A farm runs cultivation through QA. A pure distributor runs inventory, sales, and logistics. A co-man lives in the transform loop. What connects them is the record: tamper-evident documents that travel with the material instead of being retyped between systems — built so the industry has a place where the paperwork can be checked against the source.

Honest by design: overrides are allowed but recorded, and unknown provenance is stated as unknown. The record's honesty is what earns the trust.

Partnerships · Analytical labs

Labs: help anchor the industry's record.

We're selecting analytical lab partners for 2026. On Assay, lab results live as structured data — parameters, methods, results — tied to the lot they describe, so the COA behind every shipment stays checkable against the lab that produced it. That's the comfort the platform is built to give operators: the documentation their compliance obligations depend on, complete and anchored to its source.

The standards — and the sign-off — stay with your QA team and your regulators. Assay's job is making the record strong enough to stand behind.
