About
PROTEUS420 is an enterprise-class ERP and management platform purpose-built for the cannabis industry. Founded in 2008 by David and Dawne Morris, it is one of the earliest and most established seed-to-sale software solutions available globally. The platform covers every stage of the cannabis supply chain—from cultivation and manufacturing to distribution, retail POS, and e-commerce delivery—all consolidated in a single, integrated interface. Designed for businesses of all sizes, PROTEUS420 supports single-location dispensaries, multi-location operations (MLO), and multi-state operators (MSO). It integrates with state compliance tracking systems like METRC and BioTrack, providing peace of mind for highly regulated markets. The platform includes real-time data dashboards and business intelligence tools to help operators reduce product loss, lower labor costs, and optimize inventory management. Additional capabilities include a branded customer mobile app, AI toolkits for operational efficiency, payment processing integrations, and fractional operations support. Whether you run a small medical dispensary or a large adult-use vertically integrated operation, PROTEUS420 offers the tools to scale effectively while maintaining compliance. Its headquarters are in Southern California, with team leaders across Nevada, Colorado, and New Jersey.
