Case Study: Housing Works Cannabis Co scales cannabis retail and delivery with BLAZE

Housing Works Cannabis Co boosts AOV 55% with BLAZE

Housing Works Cannabis Co, the first recreational dispensary in New York, faced the challenge of launching a large-scale retail operation in a new market. They needed a proven technology partner, BLAZE, to power every facet of their business, ensure compliance, and help them scale quickly. A key hurdle was meeting a regulatory requirement to accept fully prepaid online delivery orders through an owned e-commerce site with integrated payments.

By implementing the full BLAZE software suite, including its point-of-sale, e-commerce, and payment systems, Housing Works streamlined its operations. The results were significant, including processing over 100 transactions per hour at peak times and generating approximately $12 million in sales within their first six months. BLAZE helped increase their average order value by 55% with cashless payments and attributed 52% of online orders to organic search traffic, demonstrating the solution's measurable impact.
