Wilmington, Delaware – Aug 14 2024 – CloudLIMS, a leading SOC 2 compliant and ISO 9001:2015 certified provider of a secure, state-of-the-art, future-ready laboratory information management system (LIMS), is proud to announce the successful integration of its cannabis LIMS with Metrc, the state-mandated cannabis tracking system in Ohio. This integration will ensure seamless compliance with state regulations and enhance operational efficiency for cannabis testing laboratories in Ohio.

Marijuana Enforcement Tracking and Compliance (Metrc) is a robust seed-to-sale tracking system that enables more than 20 U.S. states to regulate the cannabis industry by tracing cannabis through the supply chain, including cultivation, processing, testing, and sale. The Ohio Department of Commerce’s Division of Cannabis Control has mandated the use of Metrc for all cannabis businesses in the state, including cannabis testing laboratories.

Key Benefits of CloudLIMS’ Integration with Metrc for Cannabis Testing Labs:

• Automated Sample Handling and Results Posting: With this integration, laboratories can automatically import sample data from Metrc into the LIMS, including details like Metrc package tag ID and strain information. After testing, CloudLIMS users can upload test results to Metrc with just a few clicks. This streamlines the reporting process, ensuring timely and accurate compliance with state regulations while reducing administrative tasks. The integration keeps records consistently accurate and up-to-date in Metrc, eliminating discrepancies and saving time.
• Real-Time Tracking: Laboratories can track the status of samples and test results in real-time, benefitting from greater transparency and improved communication with clients and regulatory bodies.
• Streamlined Reporting: Metrc integration automates the generation of compliant Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), significantly reducing the time required for testing laboratories. This efficient process ensures CoAs are submitted promptly, boosting overall operational efficiency.
• Reduced TAT: The CloudLIMS and Metrc integration speeds up state regulatory reporting for cannabis testing laboratories, avoiding regulatory non-compliance. 
• Easy Audits: The CloudLIMS-Metrc interface eases regulatory audits by making data access and verification straightforward. This transparency ensures a smooth audit process and enhances compliance readiness.
• Scalability: CloudLIMS-Metrc integration is built to effortlessly scale with business expansion in the growing cannabis industry. This scalability supports larger data volumes and increased complexity, ensuring ongoing compliance and enabling growth.

“We are thrilled to offer this new powerful integration to cannabis testing laboratories in Ohio,” said Arun Apte, CEO at CloudLIMS. “Compliance is a critical aspect of the cannabis industry, and the integration with Metrc provides a seamless solution to ensure laboratories meet regulatory requirements while digitizing their operations. We look forward to expanding Metrc integration to more states soon,” he added.
