Washington state cannabis regulators approved a two-month contract extension for Leaf Data Systems, the seed-to-sale tracking product offered by Denver-based software company Akerna.
“The LCB’s priority is to ensure that a traceability system is in place and that there is no further disruption to industry,” Duffy added.
The LCB also states that Leaf Data will work on “addressing post-release issues.”
The software release (version 1.37.5) in mid-July took down the Washington state traceability system for days, costing thousands of dollars in lost business for cannabis business owners.
Akerna, which is the result of a merger between MTech and MJ Freeway, trades on the Nasdaq as KERN.
