Sprout - Cannabis CRM & Marketing Software #crm #textmessaging #emailmarketing #customerrelationshipmanagementJaret Christopher shared thisIn moments like this you can’t risk your patients/customers being left in the dark. We’re helping dispensaries communicate with their customers on a regular basis. Dispensaries across the country have closed their doors but many have been named essential businesses and remain open. With all this uncertainty consumers are choosing messaging to stay up to date. What’re you doing differently to stay engaged with your customers? #CannabisMarketing #CannabisCRM #CannabisTech #CannabisIndustry #Cannabisbuisness #Cannabis

Jaret Christopher liked thisToday's startups have so many choices of platforms and LLMs to build their solutions. Same for us at Warehouse Exchange too. When we decided to rebuild the Agentic Platform, we also had quite a few options. But we had to remind ourselves that we serve a legacy industry, with millions of dollars transacted through our platform. Our customers and suppliers expect it to be solid and reliable. After testing different solutions, we decided to go with Google Cloud and Gemini. Our team loves the resources available on Google Cloud. We started with a few agents early this year, felt confident, and just kept expanding. Now we have close to 100 agents working across supply, customers, marketing and operations. Choosing the tech is just one part. I really enjoy the support from the Google team. They were genuinely interested in what we were building and have been incredibly responsive and supportive. Thanks Darren Mowry Daniel Asgari Melanie Guillen Matt Gaither Matt Salisbury Christopher Maurice I also follow Shubham Saboo news and updates. Whenever I see something interesting, I'll ask our team to try it out. Quite a few of those ideas have actually made it into our platform. Certainly, we are excited that Google decided to feature Warehouse Exchange. What I can say is that the platform is working. Our response time went from 30 hours to 30 seconds, supplier onboarding from weeks to hours, and over $6.8M in demand and supply pipeline sourced in one month. Obviously, still work to do and still things to build. https://lnkd.in/gSw8iPpm

Jaret Christopher liked thisJaret Christopher liked thisConstruction decisions need reliable, supported intelligence. Construction is one of the largest industries, yet change orders are still approved on incomplete information. Teams rely on spreadsheets, email threads and whoever has time that week. Problems surface after approval, if they surface at all, and that costs owners and developers time and money. CO-Ver is the change order intelligence layer for construction. Every change order is: ✅ Checked against the baseline. Each change is compared to the original contract scope, so you never pay twice for the same work. 📊 Verified against cost data. Pricing, quantities, labor and materials are benchmarked against defensible construction cost data. 📋 Documented end to end. Proposals, RFIs, drawings and change logs sit in one audit trail. Complete records build trust. ⚡ Decided before work proceeds. Exceptions are flagged with decision-ready findings, so approvals happen on time and not after the fact. Owners, developers and contractors all get one source of truth for better decisions. Fair pricing. Faster approvals. Fewer disputes.

Jaret Christopher liked thisJaret Christopher liked thisTwo weeks in at Archive, and one thing is clear: brands have stopped asking whether resale works. I spent time at our Resale Summit just before my first day, and the brand leaders I heard there weren't talking about sustainability targets or clearing inventory. They were talking about growth: new customers who've never bought from them, and who come back to buy new at full price. That shift is why I joined Archive, and hearing brands describe it in their own words, in the room, made me even more sure of the timing. Thank you to the team for such a warm welcome, and to the brands who spoke so openly. There's a lot ahead of us, and I can't wait to get after it. Brand leaders: where does resale sit in your growth plan today?

Jaret Christopher liked thisChange orders are one of the biggest sources of cost risk in construction. Yet they’re still too often reviewed manually, under time pressure, and without consistent verification standards. At CO-Ver, we believe there’s a better way. Our vision is to make independent, AI-powered change order verification a standard part of the construction project by bringing a new layer of project intelligence to every decision. CO-Ver evaluates change orders against original contract terms, project documentation, supporting evidence, and real-time regional market pricing to help owners and developers make more informed decisions before approving additional costs. The result: ✅ Greater pricing transparency ✅ More informed, efficient approvals ✅ Fewer surprises and disputes ✅ Greater confidence in project decisions Want to see what your change orders are telling you? CO-Ver offers a risk-free, no-obligation review of your project’s change orders. Let’s talk. #ConstructionTech #ConTech #ChangeOrders #CommercialRealEstate #COVerJaret Christopher liked thisChange orders are one of the biggest sources of cost risk on any construction project, and they're still mostly reviewed by hand, under time pressure, with inconsistent standards. We think that should change. At CO-Ver, our goal is to make independent, automated change order verification a construction standard. That means an intelligence layer in every project, where each change order is checked against project facts, defensible costs, supporting documents and consistent verification standards before it drives an approval or a funding decision. What that gets owners and developers: ✅ Fair pricing ✅ Faster approvals ✅ Fewer disputes ✅ Greater confidence Better information. More informed decisions. Better construction outcomes. If you would like a risk free no obligation review of your project's change orders, let's talk. #Construction #ChangeOrders #ConstructionTech #RealEstateDevelopment #CostControl

Jaret Christopher liked thisJaret Christopher liked thisChange orders are a fact of life in commercial construction. But how much visibility do owners and developers really have into the costs they’re being asked to approve? Research and industry data point to a persistent challenge: change orders can drive cost growth, disrupt schedules, and consume significant time in administration and review. At CO-Ver, we believe owners deserve more than a number on a change order. They deserve the intelligence to understand what changed, whether the cost is justified, and how the proposed pricing compares with the market. That’s why we have built an AI-powered platform that brings contract verification, regional market pricing, and supporting evidence into the change-order process. #COVer #ConstructionTechnology #CommercialRealEstate #ConstructionManagement #RealEstateDevelopment

Jaret Christopher liked thisJaret Christopher liked thisHow do you know a change order is priced fairly before you sign it? Most owners and developers don’t have the time to check every quantity, labor hour, unit rate and markup. So change orders get approved on trust, and the questions come up after the money is spent. CO-Ver independently verifies change orders line by line, using AI and human expertise. You get actionable findings in minutes, not days. One Florida-based retail developer ran 19 change orders through CO-Ver before signing: • $162.8K in identified savings • 56% of change order dollars not fully supported as submitted • 17.4 hours of review time saved Change orders should build value, not create risk.

Jaret Christopher liked thisI love this simple idea: always use a tiny symbol to indicate when something is 100% AI-generated, whether email, document, or customer support chat. AI intelligence is jagged, meaning that while it is superhuman in some areas, at other times it appears to lack even common sense. This is especially true when apps are not using the best LLMs - plus, the ongoing problems of hallucinations and fake content. So it is important to know if something was produced by AI. The opposite would also be valuable, i.e. for every email or content that is substantially human-generated, use an indicator like ⓗ or (h) similar to the copyright © symbol, but this one to indicate human authorship and that someone stands behind it. Just a thought! (h) #future #business #AI #ArtificialIntelligenceJaret Christopher liked thisI would like to propose a new convention for AI -- When you or your company sends an email from an AI vs. from a human, that you have to append the following tiny AI symbol after the name at the bottom of the email. This will let recipients know when you are talking with an AI. E.g., Lucy ⟡ Please comment and repost for reach!
