Retail support services
Management Services
137 Brands provides retail support services to independently licensed cannabis operators — brand and marketing programs, merchandising and assortment guidance, analytics and reporting, and back-office administration. Each store is operated by its licence holder, who retains full control of staffing, pricing, purchasing and compliance. Our role is to give operators better tools and better information for the decisions they make.
AI-driven advanced analytics
Advanced Analytics for Better Operating Decisions
We use AI-assisted analytics to bring together sales, inventory, customer, pricing and operational data. This creates a clearer view of what is changing, why it is changing and where management attention can produce the greatest return.
Opportunity Detection
Identify performance gaps, emerging trends, inventory risks and store-level opportunities earlier.
Decision Support
Convert complex operating data into clear priorities and practical actions.
Continuous Measurement
Monitor the results of pricing, assortment, promotional and operating initiatives over time.
AI-assisted analysis supports experienced retail managers; it does not autonomously make management decisions.
Integrated stakeholder visibility

- Role-appropriate visibility into store, category and portfolio performance
- Shared KPI definitions and consistent reporting across locations

Key capabilities
Operating discipline, from the floor to the financials.
Practical management support built around the work that determines retail consistency, customer experience and commercial performance.
Buying & Assortment Management
Assortment planning, product selection, inventory guidance, vendor relationships and purchasing strategy—so operators can maintain the right product mix, improve inventory productivity and respond to customer demand.
Pricing & Promotional Strategy
Competitive pricing, promotional planning, loyalty initiatives, campaign development and performance measurement. Strategies are evaluated against customer behaviour, sales results and profitability—not activity alone.

Hiring support, onboarding, training and performance frameworks that help licence holders build accountable store teams with clear expectations and the skills to execute consistently. Staffing decisions remain with the operator—support reaches 100+ people across divisions.
SOP Development & Implementation
Creation and documentation of standardized operating procedures, implemented alongside operators to improve consistency, compliance, accountability and execution across locations.
Retail Operations & Performance
Performance monitoring and guidance across inventory, merchandising, scheduling, customer experience and operational issues, connected to relevant KPIs, store and category reviews, and initiatives designed to improve sales and profitability.
