Low stock alerts not being sent

You may have noticed a recent disruption with the receipt of our SMS "low stock alerts." Unfortunately, this situation has arisen due to a delivery issue involving our carrier, with whom we have encountered challenges. They are currently classifying Canadian cannabis as non-compliant, resulting in the interruption of our service.

Our team is diligently working on resolving this matter with our carrier in order to restore the timely delivery of alerts to retailers.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this situation. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience as we work towards a swift resolution.

Thank you for your continued support.
