Case Study: Blackbird launches a cannabis e-commerce and POS platform with KPS3

Blackbird launches POS system in 30 days with KPS3

Blackbird, a pioneering cannabis distribution company, sought to become a comprehensive e-commerce platform for dispensaries ahead of Nevada's legal recreational market. Their challenge was to rapidly develop a sophisticated point-of-sale (POS) software and modernize their brand to compete in the fast-growing industry. They partnered with the vendor KPS3 to achieve this ambitious goal under a tight deadline.

KPS3 implemented a multi-phase solution involving research, product development, and brand creation. They built a full-featured POS system using Angular and PHP in just one month, handling everything from taxes to medical card verification. For the brand, KPS3 developed a modern visual identity with custom illustrations and animations. The results were highly successful; Blackbird serviced 90% of the Nevada market with the platform and was subsequently acquired by HERBL, California's largest cannabis supply chain company. KPS3's work was instrumental in transforming Blackbird into a major industry player.
