Prime Origins
How it works

Seed to shelf, on one record.

One lot of Blue Dream, followed from the first cut to a paid invoice. At each step: what the grower does, what the software records and what the operator reports to the state. Demo data throughout.

One lot, twelve steps

Follow the record.

Most software stops at step 6 or 9. The last three steps are where the paperwork, and the wait for money, pile up. The state-reporting column illustrates the reporting workflow the operator carries out in Metrc, New York's seed-to-sale system. Prime Origins does not register plants, file manifests or send anything to Metrc in this version.

  1. Step 01

    Clone

    The grower

    Cuts 1,200 clones of Blue Dream and racks them in Prop 1.

    The software

    Batch B-2409-07 created: strain, count, room, mother batch, date.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    The operator registers the plant batch in Metrc with the same count.

  2. Step 02

    Veg

    The grower

    Transplants to Veg 1. Feeds and sprays are logged as they happen.

    The software

    Room move event. Feed and spray logs against the batch. Losses recorded with a reason.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    The operator records room and plant-count changes in Metrc.

  3. Step 03

    Flower

    The grower

    Moves the batch to Flower 2 and tags each plant.

    The software

    Plant tags assigned. Day counter starts. Harvest window forecast on the room map.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    Plant tags are recorded in Metrc; counts should match the room.

  4. Step 04

    Harvest

    The grower

    Cuts the batch down over two days and weighs wet by rack.

    The software

    Lot L-24-031 created from the batch. Wet weights per rack. Waste weighed and logged.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    The operator reports the harvest, wet weight and waste in Metrc.

  5. Step 05

    Dry & cure

    The grower

    Hangs it, checks it daily, moves to cure bins at day 9.

    The software

    Dry weight recorded. Moisture loss calculated. Cure start and end dates.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    The operator reports dry weight; the loss between wet and dry should be explainable.

  6. Step 06

    Package + COA

    The grower

    Sends a sample to the lab. Packs eighths and pre-rolls once the result is in.

    The software

    Lab result (COA) attached to the lot. 1,247 packages created, each with a tag, weight and location.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    Package tags and lab results are recorded in Metrc under the state's rules.

  7. Step 07

    Order from a store

    The grower

    Riverside Dispensary orders 40 lb of eighths and 300 pre-rolls.

    The software

    Order SO-1042 reserves the packages. Pick list printed. Invoice drafted for $12,000.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    Nothing yet. The product has not moved.

  8. Step 08

    Manifest

    The grower

    Loads the van. The manifest prints from the order.

    The software

    Transport manifest generated: packages, weights, driver, vehicle, route, time window.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    The operator creates the transfer manifest in Metrc before the van leaves.

  9. Step 09

    Delivered

    The grower

    Driver hands over. Store checks the packages against the manifest.

    The software

    Delivery confirmed. Packages transferred out of your inventory into the store's.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    The receiving licensee accepts the transfer in Metrc.

  10. Step 10

    Invoiced

    The grower

    Nothing. The invoice went with the delivery.

    The software

    INV-1042 issued for $12,000, due date set, tied to the order and the lot.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    Not their concern. It is yours.

  11. Step 11

    Paid

    After the sale
    The grower

    The store pays on the agreed terms, by whatever rail it uses.

    The software

    Payment recorded against INV-1042. Invoice marked paid on the same record as the order and the lot. (In the demo, a Greenback payment is simulated.)

    State reporting (by the operator)

    Nothing to file. Your books and your production record now agree.

  12. Step 12

    The whole record, exportable

    After the sale
    The grower

    Exports the history when an accountant, inspector or buyer asks.

    The software

    Yield per room, sell-through per store and days-to-paid per invoice, from one record, as CSV.

    State reporting (by the operator)

    Operational records that are easier to reconcile with what you report in Metrc. Not a substitute for official reporting.

Why the last steps matter

Selling is not the hard part. Getting paid is.

Stores commonly buy on 30, 60 or 90-day terms, and a farm can be profitable on paper and short of cash in the yard. Prime Origins can't shorten the terms you agree, but it shows exactly what each store owes, from which batch, and when it is due.

The usual way
Common today
Spreadsheets and email
  • Invoice sent with delivery. Chase at 30. Chase at 60.
  • Nobody can see which batch an unpaid invoice came from.
  • Meanwhile, payroll, power and the next round of nutrients are due.
In Prime Origins
Available
One receivables view
  • Every invoice tied to its order, manifest and lot.
  • What each store owes, what is due and what is overdue.
  • Settlement through Greenback is explored separately; in the demo it is simulated.
Settlement and Greenback
Built for how New York's rules work

New York first.

New York uses Metrc for state seed-to-sale tracking; Prime Origins records operational events and provides CSV exports, and live transmission to the state system is not enabled in this version. Where the board approves it, one cultivator licence can cover more than one location, so one workspace can too. Most farms sell wholesale to licensed dispensaries, so the order and the invoice sit at the centre of the product.

New York rules, in plain words
