About BudAlly
An ally sits beside you. It doesn't take your seat.
We spent four years building software for a US cannabis operator — seed-to-sale, e-commerce, an ERP, a delivery app, manifests, invoicing, a POS. The lesson wasn't that dispensaries need another POS. It was that everything around the POS is where the hours and the margin go, and every vendor who offers to fix that wants you on their register first.
The neutrality commitment
Five things we've written down so you can hold us to them.
- 01We are not owned by a POS company and will not sell to one while founding-store contracts run.
- 02We never require a POS switch. Our own register, if we build one, stays optional forever.
- 03No payment-partner exclusivity. Any processor that will integrate can integrate.
- 04Your data leaves with you in open formats, and we don't pool it without opt-in and k ≥ 8.
- 05Nothing executes without a person. This is a product rule, not a setting.
HOW WE BUILD
Spec first, then screens, then code.
Every module starts as a written spec with the state rules, the data-use rules and the failure states — the “held” invoice line, the “k < 8” cell — before anyone draws a button.
OPEN SOURCE UNDERNEATH
No proprietary black boxes in the stack.
TypeScript services, Postgres, Flutter apps, open-source infrastructure. If we disappeared, a competent team could run what you've paid for.
