About
Headset is the cannabis industry's most comprehensive data and business intelligence platform, trusted by thousands of dispensaries, brands, and vendors across the United States and Canada. By sourcing data directly from consumer transactions at over 3,500 retail partners, Headset captures 34 cents of every dollar spent on cannabis in North America — giving clients unmatched visibility into market trends, product performance, and consumer behavior. The platform serves three core audiences: retailers gain tools to track sales, optimize inventory, and streamline operations; producers access market intelligence to benchmark against competitors and identify growth opportunities; and vendors leverage retailer-direct data sharing to forecast demand and manage replenishment automatically. Key products include Retailer (sales tracking and inventory management), Insights (trend analytics and market share data), Bridge Nexus (automated order generation and ERP integration), and Vault (a Snowflake-powered data integration layer for enterprise analytics stacks). Headset also tracks hemp-derived THC beverage sales and newly added Ecommerce + POS data streams. With coverage across major US states — California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and more — plus Canadian provinces including Alberta, BC, and Ontario, Headset is purpose-built for cannabis businesses that want to move from guesswork to data-driven decision-making. It's the go-to platform for forward-thinking cannabis operators seeking a real competitive edge.
