Case Study: Papa & Barkley (cannabis product maker) achieves faster production, 99% inventory accuracy and regulatory compliance with MRPeasy

Cannabis Product Maker Papa & Barkley Improves Production, Compliance and Employee Relations with MRPeasy Software

Papa & Barkley, a California maker of THC- and CBD-based wellness products, rapidly scaled from a home startup to a 200‑person company and outgrew Google Sheets and a heavily customized CRM. That growth exposed supply‑chain inefficiencies, lengthened production cycles and left inventory accuracy at just 60–70% — a critical problem in California’s tightly regulated seed‑to‑sale cannabis market where 95% accuracy is required.

In August 2018 Papa & Barkley implemented MRPeasy, a cloud ERP/MRP, to manage production, procurement, logistics and compliance. The system cut production cycles from three months to two, raised inventory accuracy to 99%, simplified track‑and‑trace and testing workflows, reduced interdepartmental conflict, and scaled adoption across production, procurement and logistics teams.
