To reduce dispensary mobile app cost for business owners, white-label apps started to surface. White-label apps are semi-custom apps that are built to carry out a specific set of features. May it be to create a webview of your online store or keep loyalty points in one place. White-label apps are more cost-effective than traditional custom app development that’s why they took the industry by storm years back. But here’s the thing. Fully custom apps and white labels have distinct sets of benefits and disadvantages. Primarily in terms of the level of customization, flexibility and overall cost.  Both models enable you to bring your business to the palm of the customer’s hands but from a business perspective, each of these development models seems to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.

One is cost-efficient but offers a lean set of features to carry out the basics of mcommerce with limited capabilities. And another that has the ability to design an app that fully supports your business model and engages customers well, but at a way steeper cost. For many years, there hasn’t been any middle ground where business owners can get the flexibility and comprehensiveness of a full custom app without hefty investments.

But what if we tell you that Digital Awesome just made that possible? 

Well, we come bearing good news for dispensary owners who are eyeing to take their business to mobile. Our team of experts have developed a subscription-based app for dispensaries. 

The Problem

Before we go into detail about our revolutionary app product, let’s determine the key motivators of this innovation.  Digital Awesome talked to a lot of cannabis business owners. One of the major issues they’re currently facing is that they seem to be outgrowing their current channels and e-com partnerships. 

There are three factors that are contributing to this. 

• The modern consumer’s shopping behavior has changed over the past years and now requires a different approach to keep them engaged. 
• Tech platforms can’t provide dispensaries with the full suite of innovative features they need to effectively attract, retain and scale their customer base. 
• Business owners feel trapped in their current partnerships. They can't freely integrate from one system to another without the risk of losing data or starting over again.
