Microsoft has teamed up with California-based technology start-up Kind Financial, which helps businesses and government agencies track sales of legalised marijuana “from seed to sale”.

It is the first-ever partnership of its kind for Microsoft.

Kind has been selling its marijuana tracking software to businesses and governments for some three years.

The start-up will now be able work on Microsoft’s government cloud.

 

Kind’s software, which is called Agrisoft Seed to Sale, “closes the loop between marijuana-related businesses, regulatory agencies, and financial institutions,” a press release said.
