The initial release includes four dashboards:
– Sales by State
– Company Leaderboard by Location Count
– Product Sales Data
– Store Status Overview

Each dashboard leverages real-time data and dynamic visualizations, allowing users to filter, segment, and export insights for internal distribution. Unlike static reports or periodic data snapshots, Emerald Intel’s Analytics are built on continuously maintained, normalized datasets—providing users with a reliable and current view of market conditions.

“Access to a comprehensive, macro view of the cannabis industry has historically been difficult to obtain,” said John Stanfill, CEO of Emerald Intel. “Our Embedded Analytics change that. By leveraging the depth, accuracy, and timeliness of our data, we are giving business leaders the ability to identify market opportunities, track trends, and make strategic decisions with greater speed and confidence.”

Emerald Intel’s data foundation—used daily by clients for go-to-market strategy, compliance workflows, and account targeting—ensures that Analytics are built on the same verified and standardized intelligence the company is known for. The result is a unified view of the industry that supports both high-level market evaluation and granular analysis.

“Normalized, unified cannabis industry data is challenging to compile and maintain,” said Ed Keating, Chief Economist at Emerald Intel. “Without it, gaining a reliable macro-level perspective is nearly impossible. Emerald Intel’s Analytics provide a strategic vantage point that helps our clients better understand competitive dynamics, market concentration, and growth trends—ultimately enabling smarter decision-making.”

Emerald Intel plans to expand its Analytics offering in 2026 with additional dashboards and enhanced functionality to further support market research and competitive intelligence initiatives.
