How does the Lit Alerts tool work?

How we do what we do

The software crawls publicly available cannabis retail menu data multiple times per day during business hours. It then performs an analysis of the changes in that data and creates a new dataset (often referred to as a "derivative dataset") of critical events that are happening in your market. These include out of stock alerts, low quantity alerts as well as estimated sales via inventory quantity tracking.

This massive database of events is aggregated in one easy-to-use spot, where you can view the data to answer specific questions about the market. The tool also has a notification feature which currently includes:

  1. a morning email digest for brands that includes low quantity and out of stock alerts

  2. a morning email snapshot for retailers with important events at specific locations from the previous day.
