In addition to understanding customer needs and delivering intentional guidance, the AI-powered Budtender also provides context on terpenes and cannabinoid content on individual products, describing how its recommendations are a good fit for the customer's unique consumption goals. Not only are customers buying more, but they are also buying products they may not have considered without the recommendation. Instead of choosing what's cheapest or most popular, customers are now being opened up to new and more fitting considerations.
Customers are more likely to be pleased with their purchases and achieve the effects they set out for with Bud's recommendations. The majority of first-time users return to their Bud again for more recommendations.
"Pluggi is transforming the online shopping experience for our valued customers at Oasis Cannabis. The AI-powered budtender has excelled at delivering personalized product recommendations and education. Customers are more satisfied and confident with their purchases, and are more likely to return for more. Since implementing Bud, the store's basket size and order totals have increased remarkably."
Andrew Glashow, CEO at CLS Holdings
Around half of Oasis Cannabis customers that utilize Bud were influenced to buy recommended products, resulting in a $35,257 increase in revenue over just two months. Proving that customers are choosing beyond just the cheapest choices, the average price of items that are bought as a result of Bud's recommendation is $32.05, making for a 28% increase in the average shopping cart value. The ROI is astounding against a relatively low yearly cost of only $2000 annually.
Further, the AI-powered Budtender provides valuable insights through its detailed analytics dashboard, allowing CLS to better understand spending habits and continuously enhance the overall customer experience. The impressive results are a testament to the effectiveness of Bud's recommendations.
With over 500 unique SKUs at Oasis Cannabis, this simplifies the dispensary shopping experience. Bud helps customers weed through the large selection of products and brands in each category- consisting of flower, vaporizers, concentrates, and edibles. It also makes it easier for customers to explore options that best suit their needs.
CLS's City Trees brand makes up almost one-fifth of the brands clicked on during the recommendation process, providing value for CLS as a whole, not just the physical dispensary. Other commonly recommended brands include STIIIZY, KYND, Nature's Chemistry, and NuLeaf. Furthermore, these groundbreaking capabilities serve as a live customer service agent and greatly caters to those that prefer or require an independent shopping experience.
"We understand that not everyone has the same access to cannabis, whether that's due to a disability, lack of access to transportation, or otherwise. Or maybe you're just in a hurry and don't have time to chat. Whatever it is, we're committed to offering a seamless shopping experience for all of our customers, even if you can't make it to the store or interact directly with us. By adding Bud to our online ordering, customers can get the advice they need without having to take the time to talk to our budtenders. Pluggi has made the Oasis shopping experience more accessible and convenient."
Andrew Glashow, CEO at CLS Holdings

Tensions rose in contract talks between the United Auto Workers union and Stellantis on Tuesday with the union president accusing the company of seeking concessions in contract talks when the union wants gains, as a September strike threat looms. UAW President Shawn Fain said in a statement that Stellantis has broken a pledge not to seek givebacks in this round of talks, in which the union is seeking more than 40% general pay raises over four years, restoration of pensions for newer hires, cost-of-living increases, an end to wage tiers, and other benefits. A union spokesman said singling out Stellantis doesn’t mean the UAW has picked a company as a strike target, and it could choose all three.

India in recent months has barred domestic manufacturers of military drones from using components made in China over concerns about security vulnerabilities, according to four defence and industry officials and documents reviewed by Reuters. The measure comes amid tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours and as New Delhi pursues a military modernisation that envisages greater use of unmanned quadcopters, long-endurance systems and other autonomous platforms. But as the nascent Indian industry looks to meet the military's needs, the defence and industry figures said India's security leaders were worried that intelligence-gathering could be compromised by Chinese-made parts in drones' communication functions, cameras, radio transmission and operating software.
