Case study
Financial intelligence for the cannabis industry.
We built the platform that lets cannabis operators know who to do business with, who to avoid, and where the financial risks are. AR collection, claims processing, member analytics, all in one place.

The challenge
CCA is not a cannabis company. They’re a financial bureau for the cannabis industry, and the entire operation ran on spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
Cannabis operators across the U.S. rely on CCA to understand the financial standing of the companies they do business with. CCA collects accounts receivable data, processes claims, verifies records against state licenses, and surfaces the analytics that members need to make informed decisions. The challenge was replacing manual workflows with a system that could handle all of this reliably while keeping proprietary scoring logic and member data private.

What we built
01
Designed and built the internal portal for CCA operators to manage member data, AR submissions, and claims workflows end-to-end.
02
Created the client-facing portal where cannabis members access financial analytics, counterparty risk data, and operational intelligence.
03
Built CSV intake pipelines with column validation, batch processing, progress states, and clear error recovery paths.
04
Developed matching workflows that resolve records automatically first, then route exceptions to a manual review queue for operators.
05
Engineered analytics surfaces covering member activity, financial engagement, AR health, claims status, and audit readiness.
Daily processing
The platform supports everything CCA touches daily, from member record management to the larger weekly batch refreshes that used to consume entire operator shifts.
Member accounts, contacts, and cannabis license records
AR submissions and claims intake review queues
Counterparty risk and financial analytics for members
State license verification and external reference data
Audit preparation and compliance coverage checks
Portal engagement, login, and invitation analytics
Processing volume
A single upload cycle replaces ~850 legacy records with ~943 new entries, processes in 500-record batches, and has been validated with 2,000+ row files.
Operational guardrails
01
Required-column validation before any data is accepted into the system
02
Email, numeric, and license-format checks for common upload errors
03
Real-time progress feedback for large files and long-running batch operations
04
Verified vs. unverified record states so operators always know what needs review
05
Manual override paths for the small percentage of records that don't auto-match
06
Role-based access separating internal operator views from client-facing member portals
Outcome
What used to be manual spreadsheet work is now a unified operating system for cannabis financial data.
CCA now processes 15K AR records every week and manages over $3 billion in accounts receivable through the platform. The internal team moves faster, catches exceptions sooner, and the member-facing portal delivers the financial intelligence that drives real business outcomes across the cannabis industry.
“One of the best teams to have. Amazing with all types of CRMs and custom developments.”
