Seed-to-Sale Integration

A Seed-to-Sale (STS) system tracks the lifecycle of cannabis from the time a plant is planted through harvest, processing, packaging, laboratory testing and sale of completed cannabis product(s) to a consumer. To ensure regulatory compliance, all licensees are required to secure an electronic inventory tracking system that is capable of integrating with the NY STS Tracking System (BioTrack).

Additionally, permitted laboratories are required to send cannabis product laboratory testing data for licensees to BioTrack. A STS system helps the Office of Cannabis Management (Office) regulate the adult-use and medical cannabis industries by providing insight into the supply chain.

In preparation for the upcoming integration of licensee inventory tracking systems with the New York seed-to-sale solution, BioTrack NY has conducted integration training webinars for third party integrators. 

Third party integrators are the vendors who provide your inventory tracking system. Integrators who were unable to attend the live trainings or would like a refresher can use the links below to access the recorded trainings.

The API provides a Sandbox (Test) environment that inventory tracking system vendors and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) vendors can utilize to establish integration with the NY STS Tracking System.

Access BioTrack API Test Environment

To maintain a secure environment, all inventory tracking and LIMS vendors must create an account and register through the BioTrack Integrator Portal. This portal enables vendors to manage API keys and receive notifications about system updates.

For support, software vendors may contact BioTrack at [email protected], and licensees may reach BioTrack at [email protected]. Webinars will soon be scheduled for integrators and licensees, with further details and scheduling information forthcoming.

How do I know if my inventory tracking system is compatible with BioTrack?

Licensees should reach out to their vendor of choice and share the BioTrack API documentation to confirm compatibility.

Access the BioTrack API

An inventory tag contains a unique 16-digit identifier. The unique identifiers tied to each tag are representative of one piece of inventory.

To ensure unique identification of inventory, licensees will purchase inventory tags from BioTrack in advance of entering inventory into the STS system. OCM will cover a total of $250,000 in tag purchases across licensees at the launch of the project. Additional details will be made available as the program is rolled out with the vendor and licensees.
