The wholesale cannabis industry in Nevada thrives on efficiency, trust, and visibility. To keep products moving smoothly between cultivators, manufacturers, and dispensaries, technology platforms have become the backbone of communication and compliance. Several leading solutions are now widely used across the state, helping wholesale buyers and sellers connect seamlessly.
LeafLink — The Marketplace Giant
LeafLink stands as the dominant B2B marketplace in the cannabis sector. Serving thousands of brands and retailers across the United States, it allows Nevada wholesalers to list catalogs, share product availability, and process orders. Buyers can browse live menus, compare products, and manage invoices within one streamlined system. Following its acquisition of Leaf Trade, LeafLink expanded its suite to include integrated payments and marketing solutions, further cementing its position as the go-to wholesale marketplace.
Apex Trading — Flexibility for Buyers and Sellers
Apex Trading combines an open marketplace with branded private storefronts, offering both broad exposure and customized sales experiences. For buyers, Apex provides real-time product listings, competitive pricing options, and direct chat features for negotiation. For sellers, it integrates CRM functions, inventory management, and pricing tiers. Nevada’s mid-market and craft operators frequently adopt Apex Trading to maintain a balance between reach and relationship-driven sales.
Headset — Data Driving Decisions
Headset is not a marketplace but a critical analytics tool for wholesale decision-making. By providing SKU-level data, sales velocity trends, and consumer behavior insights, Headset enables Nevada buyers to purchase strategically and sellers to target offerings more effectively. With localized Nevada-specific reports, both retailers and wholesalers can make smarter choices about inventory and promotional timing.
Pistil Data — Smarter Prospecting and Sales Intelligence
Pistil Data acts as a powerful intelligence platform for sales teams. It highlights which dispensaries are low on stock, what categories are trending, and how competitor products are performing. For Nevada wholesalers, Pistil Data serves as an essential tool for targeting outreach, improving efficiency, and ensuring the right products reach the right retailers at the right time.
Metrc — The Compliance Backbone
In Nevada, compliance is inseparable from wholesale activity, and Metrc is the mandated seed-to-sale tracking system. Every transfer, package, and manifest is logged through the platform, ensuring transparency and regulatory alignment. Most sales and ERP platforms integrate directly with Metrc, allowing wholesale transactions to stay both efficient and compliant.
Distru — ERP Streamlining Wholesale Operations
Distru is a cannabis ERP (enterprise resource planning) platform that brings together inventory, sales, and compliance. For Nevada wholesalers, Distru integrates seamlessly with marketplaces such as LeafLink and automatically syncs with Metrc. This reduces double entry, minimizes errors, and helps ensure that buyers always see up-to-date inventory and product data.
Canix — ERP Built for Cannabis Operators
Canix offers another robust ERP system designed specifically for cannabis businesses. By simplifying Metrc reporting, tracking yields, and providing cost analysis, Canix helps cultivators and manufacturers maintain efficiency. For wholesalers in Nevada, the platform makes it easier to publish accurate availability, communicate timelines, and reduce stock-outs for dispensary buyers.
Building the Nevada Wholesale Tech Stack
In practice, Nevada wholesalers often combine multiple platforms: LeafLink or Apex Trading for marketplace access, Distru or Canix for ERP integration, Metrc for compliance, and Headset or Pistil Data for analytics and prospecting. Together, these tools form a cohesive ecosystem that connects buyers and sellers, supports compliance, and improves decision-making. The result is a more transparent and efficient wholesale market that benefits both operators and consumers alike.
