WM Exchange to Provide Secure, Transparent Digital Transactions to
Licensed Wholesale Buyers and Sellers of Cannabis Products
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Weedmaps today announced the launch of WM Exchange, a digital
marketplace where licensed cannabis brands, distributors and retailers
can safely and efficiently buy and sell cannabis products. Built on
Weedmaps’ leading technology infrastructure — which powers thousands of
cannabis businesses around the world — WM Exchange enables highly
efficient, transparent and secure wholesale transactions between
verified buyers and sellers.
“We believe WM Exchange will fundamentally change and improve the way
cannabis buyers and sellers engage in wholesale transactions,” said
Chris Beals, CEO of Weedmaps. “By bringing the power of e-commerce to
the wholesale process, WM Exchange provides a highly secure, transparent
marketplace to buy and sell high-quality, verified and lab-tested
cannabis products. Most importantly, WM Exchange helps retailers get
access to the most popular cannabis products available while giving
sellers cost-efficient access to new customers they couldn’t otherwise
reach.”
Using WM Exchange, buyers and sellers alike will have complete
visibility into pricing, inventory availability and product information,
along with powerful regulatory and compliance tools and real-time
delivery and fulfillment information. Because licensed brands and
sellers can upload licensing and lab testing documentation to the
platform, transactions can be conducted with trust and confidence.
“Since we launched Weedmaps in 2008, we have transformed the cannabis
purchasing experience between consumers, retailers and brands. Our goal
is to bring that same level of transformation to the wholesale
marketplace,” added Mr. Beals.
WM Exchange is currently open to select cannabis businesses during a
beta period. The company expects to open the platform to additional
participants in the coming months.
