ABOUT
Our ‘Dovetale’
Our team has decades of marketing and software development experience leading teams at global companies like P&G, Coca-Cola, Electronic Arts, and Marriott. But our journey into cannabis began in 2015.
From 2015 to 2023, we focused on building bespoke, quantifiably high-performing, and visually stunning enterprise e-commerce websites for cannabis companies across the US.
These custom sites were built on best-in-class technologies like: Dutchie+, Jane Roots, NextJS, Vercel, GCP, Kubernetes, and Headless CMS systems like Strapi & Contentful.
That’s great, but here’s the cold hard truth.
While these enterprise-class sites delivered significant increases in revenue the costs, time, and human capital required to build and maintain was simply too expensive and challenging for the cannabis industry.
That’s why we spent 2 years developing Dovetail.
Our goal is to help you generate more revenue by enabling you to create a fully customizable and unique online store with ‘best-of-breed’ features and functionality that’s easy to implement.
With Dovetail, we’ve brought together all the tools, tech, & tricks we’ve learned from both our enterprise and cannabis experience and transformed them into a ‘ready-set-win’ solution that’s quick, easy, and cost-effective.
From “Age Gate to Check Out”, it’s built to increase online revenue. Full Stop.
Whether you operate a single store or multiple stores across the country, you can finally harness the true power of your e-commerce channel.
There’s no longer a need to try and compete with a site that’s 99% identical to 99% of your competitors.
No custom coding or expensive engineering required. Those days are over. Even if you have the team, time, and budget to develop against Dutchie or Jane Roots API’s, you can now turn your attention to other business building endeavors.
For the majority of companies that could never afford expensive web development, give us a shout. We’ll show you a brighter and more profitable future. Now, within your reach.
