Need Alternatives to Dutchie? Here Are the Best Options for Cannabis Manufacturers

Dutchie has become a major player in cannabis retail and POS—but if you’re a grower, manufacturer, or vertically-integrated operator, you’ve likely hit some roadblocks.

Maybe Dutchie Grow doesn’t go deep enough into your internal processes. Maybe you're tired of managing disconnected systems across sales, production, and compliance. Either way, you’re not alone.

In this post, we’ll explore the top alternatives to Dutchie in 2025—especially for manufacturers looking for better tools and tighter workflows.

Why Teams Move Away from Dutchie

Dutchie is known for retail-first tools and sleek POS solutions. But that retail DNA doesn’t always translate to manufacturing or back-of-house operations.

Common complaints include:

1. Dutchie Grow lacks true production tracking
2. Reporting is basic and hard to customize
3. Compliance integrations are limited for complex workflows
4. No time tracking, task assignments, or yield-based KPIs
5. Multiple tools required for full visibility (POS + ERP + Sheets)

What to Consider When Replacing Dutchie

Before making a switch, ask:

1. Do you need more than just POS or inventory tracking?
2. Are your workflows more like manufacturing than retail?
3. Do you need visibility into labor, output, or daily productivity?
4. Are you managing multiple tools when one platform could work?

Final Thoughts

Dutchie is great for dispensary sales—but not always for what happens before the sale.

If you're manufacturing cannabis products, managing teams, or scaling production, consider switching to a platform that brings clarity to your entire operation—not just your storefront.
