LOS
ANGELES, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BLAZE®
Solutions, Inc. ("BLAZE" or "the Company"), a trailblazer in the
cannabis retail technology space, is excited to announce the
release of their newly updated BLAZE Retail® point-of-sale system.
This transformative redesign unlocks a new level of flexibility for
cannabis dispensaries with a hardware-agnostic web-based POS
system. The game-changing upgrade also introduces a
newly reimagined User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI)
aimed at increasing efficiency and intuitiveness for front-of-house
employees.
The BLAZE POS system has been rebuilt to work cross-platform
providing new flexibility for cannabis retailers. This strategic
change helps burgeoning retailers stay technologically competitive
and reduce upfront costs. Single-shop and Enterprise-level
operators can now realize significant cost-savings when migrating
from other systems by repurposing their existing hardware
assets.
Transitioning to a web-based platform allows BLAZE to increase
the pace of innovation by leveraging its inherent flexibility and
accessibility. New features and improvements can be deployed faster
to enhance the user experience and ensure the software remains at
the cutting edge of technology.
The new UX and UI simplifies the most common tasks used to
service customers. The result is a streamlined user flow that
empowers front-of-house staff to do more with fewer clicks and with
intuitive iconography, significantly reducing the learning curve
for new employees.
"Building BLAZE Retail with a fresh new look and feel was
something we knew was necessary for the evolution of our software
and brand. During development, over 500 usability tests were
conducted which provided valuable feedback on the ease of use,
naming conventions, and how the UX and UI could be improved," said
Kai Kirk, Chief Product Officer at
BLAZE. "We beta-tested the new system with 15 high-volume
dispensaries across 6 different states over a 2- month period to
fully stress-test the scalability and stability of the
platform."
"The launch of our new POS system is the culmination of three
years of customer feedback and innovation from our product team. We
understand the frustrations many operators face after their current
POS providers have repeatedly failed them during high-demand
periods like 4/20. To date, many have felt trapped by the costs and
hassle of transitioning to a new solution. Today BLAZE can answer
those concerns." said Chris Violas, Chief Executive Officer at
BLAZE "The new BLAZE Retail POS offers industry-leading reliability
and a seamless migration path, requiring minimal to no additional
hardware investments. It is Enterprise-ready and designed to solve
the needs of our customers today with an award-winning customer
success team ready to help meet our retailer's needs of
tomorrow."

Thursday, August 15th. This webinar
