Vireo Health Expands Partnership with Leaf Trade

The science-focused, multi-state cannabis company partners with leading cannabis wholesale technology platform

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Vireo Health International, Inc. (“Vireo” or the “Company”) (CNSX: VREO, OTCQX: VREOF), a leading physician-led, science-focused multi-state cannabis company, today announced the expansion of the Company’s partnership with Leaf Trade to provide a wholesale order and fulfillment management platform in four states where Vireo operates. Leaf Trade is an omni-channel sales platform that allows Vireo’s wholesale business to come online quickly and easily in new markets as the Company expands its operations nationally.

Vireo uses Leaf Trade to manage wholesale ordering and fulfillment in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and New York, and other states in which the Company is licensed to sell medical cannabis products to third-party dispensaries. The Leaf Trade platform provides a convenient way for dispensaries to review and purchase items from Vireo’s ever-growing line of products and brands.

Leaf Trade is a technology platform for cultivators and dispensaries who want to optimize their wholesale ordering and fulfillment process. It provides a single, standardized system to ensure operational consistency. This helps cultivators deliver for their customers, eliminate costly fulfillment errors, and stay compliant with State-based regulations.

“As we continue to expand our wholesale operations, Leaf Trade’s innovative platform will enhance our sales capabilities and enable us to better serve the hundreds of dispensary customers we work with nationwide,” said CEO and Founder Kyle Kingsley, M.D. “Leaf Trade has been an important partner for almost two years and we are excited to expand our partnership into new markets.”

Vireo uses Leaf Trade to present their products in a one-to-one online storefront which allows dispensary operators to purchase from their mobile, tablet, or desktop computer. Lab testing results are available on each product listing, making it easy for dispensaries to understand exactly what they’re ordering and help protect patient safety.

By using Leaf Trade, Vireo no longer needs to accept orders from multiple entry points such as emails, calls, texts, website inquiries, etc. The omni-channel platform helps save time and effort for Vireo’s sales team and fulfillment departments. Leaf Trade also provides advanced sales data reporting, which enables a single, reliable source of sales figures to help develop accurate forecasts.

“We are thrilled to work with a leading multi-state operator like Vireo Health. The expansion of our partnership from one state to four, and growing, is clear evidence that the Leaf Trade platform can help fuel growth for cannabis wholesalers. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with Vireo and helping them expand nationwide,” says Leaf Trade President and Chief Revenue Officer, Michael Piermont.
