Fully customizable tables in AirMed 5
AirMed 5, being released throughout 2023, utilizes a new grid control with customizable columns and options for viewing, sorting, searching, and grouping data in tables.
Tables can be rearranged to match a user’s preference, and settings are saved for future sessions. Columns can be re-ordered by dragging the header to the desired location. Columns displayed in the grid can be controlled by a settings button where additional columns can be dragged on or off the control from a column chooser. Grids can be sorted by clicking the column headers — or the entire grid can be sorted.
Rapid searching for content in the grid is available with the search box where matching content is conveniently displayed.
For clients who have the optional report designer, select grid controls can be used to create a custom report with one click allowing for simple rapid report creation based on live system data.

Whether it’s manipulation of individual chart series, specifying a pivot table’s dimensions or connecting UI elements to fields across different data-sources or data providers, the BI Dashboard designer is built to make your experience a productive one.

AirMed 5, currently in the final stages of development, includes a two-way application programming interface (API) for custom system integrations with room sensors, accounting systems, QMS systems, ERP systems, point-of-sale (POS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and environmental monitoring.
Environmental Monitoring Integration
Temperature, humidity, CO2, and hundreds of other potential conditions can be logged during the grow cycle to control processes and productivity.
We’re adding integration for environmental sensors and nutrient monitoring with support for different sensor companies based on customer requirements.
Lighting schedules, HVAC settings, nutrient mixes, and foliar applications are tracked to improve current and future outputs.
ERP Integration
We are currently working on support for Microsoft Dynamics, and additional ERP systems will be added on a per-customer request basis.

Templates & Automation in AirMed 5
Smart Input Fields
When AirMed 5 is released in early 2023 it will include a number of new automation features and templates to help you work more efficiently.
Plan Templates
Plan templates are designed to help create formulas for production. For instance, after completing the cultivation, drying and packaging of a new batch, a Batch Plan template can be created to map out the time in each grow phase based on the values from the existing plan. In addition, the average number of grams per plant can be automatically calculated based on the batch harvest statistics. Once a batch plan is created, it can be attached to a strain so that the next time it is propagated, the default values can be automatically set.
Work Order Task Templates
AirMed 5 features a comprehensive task template with activities or scheduled actions available to automate a series of tasks required to complete a process. A task in AirMed is a block of time associated with an activity.
Once recorded and accumulated, a series of tasks can become a template. You can create a template for the a grow cycle or a specific process. That template can serve a work order to help manage cultivation or the manufacture of extractions, topicals and edibles.
Tasks can be assigned to different departments or users with activities cascaded across the entire production cycle. For example, if a template is associated with a strain, future propagation events will automatically schedule the tasks related to cultivation, harvesting, packaging, and more. Tasks let you capture information, compile them, and use the template as a work order to accomplish processes as efficiently as possible.

Quality Management in AirMed 5
Multi-level Approvals
AirMed 5 includes the option to record eSignatures and lets you create an approval workflow with one or more signatures required for a given activity.
Approval workflows can include a single signature or one or more unique signatures plus optional witnesses. When an individual is tasked with electronically signing for an approval, a notification is sent through the AirMed internal messaging system. Within the message is a quick link to the location where the eSignature is required.
QMS Incident Tracking
A new incident management system lets users record incidents that deviate from normal operating protocols or that affect compliance data. Incident tracking can be used in any area of the facility including plant growth, extraction, orders and fulfillment.
Incidents can be automatically created when certain events occur, such as back-dating or undoing/editing specific data. AirMed creates a comprehensive audit trail for any alteration made to compliance data and provides auditors with a tool to examine corrections or modifications.
Escalation & Investigations
Escalation of specific types of incidents can be automated using message notifications. Users can initiate an inquiry related to an incident and have it automatically escalated to an appropriate investigator.
Investigations could be related to any incident such as employee illness or injury, hazardous spills, deviations, non-conformance, loss or theft, recalls, vender audits, crop destruction, pests, or any other incidents. AirMed manages each incident through the cycle of investigation, evaluation, resolution, corrective action, and procedures.

New Design Tools in AirMed 5
Report and Label Designer
Leading the industry in design tools, AirMed 5, due in the first quarter of 2023, will include an optional report and label designer. This powerful tool lets you design your own reports that can be accessed throughout the software.
Business Intelligence Designer
With our new optional Business Intelligence designer, customers will be able to build their own widgets and attach them to relevant areas throughout the system.
Custom Form Builder
A new form designer will let you create custom forms that access to system data-sources. Custom forms include drop-down lists, custom fields, data & time fields, electronic signature fields, checklists and more.
For more information on these new features or to book a demo of AirMed to see them for yourself, click the Request Demo button at the top of the page or use any of the contact forms.
In the meantime visit our Software page.
Redesigned Interface in AirMed 5
AirMed will get a completely redesigned interface with the release of AirMed 5 at the beginning of next year. AirMed 5 will have light and dark themes for use under bright lights in work areas such as grow rooms. When using the dark theme, less light is reflected from the screen to limit oversaturation from dark text on a light background.
The new look and feel will make it easier to process the information on screen and navigation lets users see where they are in the application at a glance. Infographics are being incorporated where applicable to display more details using less screen space.
We’re minimizing the number of clicks required to complete each step in a process. The actions menu is extended with a carousel, and a new grid control offers new options for viewing, sorting, searching, and grouping data. Columns can be rearranged to match a user’s preference, and settings are saved for future sessions.
And there’s so much more.

AirMed Sales Interface
From a simple catalog of available brands to medical client registration, secure encrypted messaging, and product purchase/fulfillment, AirMed offers a complete sales solution with unmatched simplicity and extensibility.
Online Catalog
Our proprietary WordPress plugin embeds information from the AirMed database directly onto your website.
You simply install a plugin into your WordPress dashboard and add a snippet of shortcode to the page where you want your catalog to appear. The shortcode pulls product information directly from your AirMed database, complete with images, descriptions and pricing. Customers interacting with the catalog remain on your website throughout the shopping experience rather than being transferred to an embedded portal site.
To support non-WordPress platforms, an API is available for direct integration into websites, ecommerce systems, and other software systems.
Payment Processing
Online sales functionality includes a shopping cart, coupon application, and payment processing with ecommerce integration. AirMed currently supports credit card payments made through Realex by Global Payments.
Delivery Integration
AirMed can automatically create a shipment record after an order is paid and validated. Connect directly to the courier and print the resulting label to streamline the shipping process and enable a tracking URL to be linked.
And there’s so much more in AirMed to support online catalogs and sales.

New reports in AirMed keep pace with marketplace
AirMed has the most comprehensive reporting in any cannabis management system. To ensure that our reporting keeps pace with changes in regulations and the cannabis marketplace, we regularly update our reporting system and add new reports.
Industry analysts and market researchers agree that edibles are the future of cannabis as consumer preferences shift from away from smoking.
Seattle-based data-analytics firm Headset examined sales from the US and Canada and reported “…overall edibles sales grew by more than 20%…”
According to a different report titled Cannabis Edible Products Market Report, “The aversion to smoking is one of the main factors that has led to the significant growth of cannabis-infused edibles over the past years.”
MJ Biz Daily reported that “The outlook for edibles is considered bullish among industry executives… Industry executives said consumers around 30-45 years old especially seem to be entering the cannabis market via edibles.”
To support the addition of edibles and topicals functionality in AirMed earlier this year, we added new CTLS data reporting. We also updated the existing CTLS Full Export function to include the totals from the main CTLS reports.
The release of edibles and topicals functionality in tandem with supporting CTLS reporting lets users manage entire edible and topical inventory data in AirMed and also export data into a pre-populated CTLS monthly report using the CTLS Full Export function. This vastly improves the inventory tracking capabilities for edibles and topicals and can save users valuable time in monthly reporting.
AirMed is working hard to support consumer trends so cannabis producers and processors can meet the needs of the marketplace.

AirMed Welcomes 2022
AirMed Canada Systems Inc. was founded in 2014. That makes AirMed one of the oldest seed-to-sale software companies in Canada (and possibly the oldest).
This year, 2022, is our eighth in business. We’ve seen many changes in the cannabis industry in those years.
The Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) was replaced by the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) in 2014. The ACMPR was then replaced by the Cannabis Act in 2017. The decriminalization of cannabis in Canada evolved into legalization in 2018.
While not the first country to legalize cannabis for recreational use, Canada was the largest at the time and seen as the leader in legalization. The world watched as our country scrambled to get a new industry up and running.
Huge amounts of capital flooded in as investors jumped on what they expected to be a gravy train. But the train ran slower than many predicted, and in the retail cannabis world, the train behaved more like a rollercoaster.
Along the route, some cannabis-related businesses went public, others merged or were acquired. Many start-ups derailed without gaining any ground.
To date, hundreds of cultivators and processors have been licensed in Canada, rather than the thousands that were anticipated. But of those, more than 100 are using AirMed to manage their seed-to-sale processes.
AirMed is proud to have been one of the first on the cannabis industry train in Canada. With a philosophy of steady managed growth, our company continues to operate at a sustainable level. As the train moves forward, whether slow or fast, AirMed is committed to staying onboard.
Happy New Year!
Managing Extracts, Edibles & Topicals in AirMed
For those wishing to process extracts, edibles and topicals, AirMed offers comprehensive features dedicated to these classes of cannabis.
Extracts, edibles and topicals are categorized as special classes of cannabis due to the unique public health and safety risks they present. As a result, these cannabis products have specific requirements pertaining to their formulation, production and composition.
Health Canada licensed processors have a broad base of data management needs to maintain compliance and accurately complete the monthly CTLS report. AirMed has developed a full range of functionality to meet those needs.
As with all elements of our system, comprehensive tracking and reporting is available. AirMed tracks and reports on every aspect of processing with specific fields for managing extracts, edibles, and topicals as well as their materials and lots.
Access to the AirMed software functionality that manages these cannabis classes is controlled on a user-by-user basis. Workforce management in our software utilizes configurable departments and job roles to control which workflows workers are authorized to use. You determine who is given rights to these production areas based on the needs of assigned job roles.
The AirMed cannabis record management system has separate production sections for extracts, edibles and topicals with workflows designed specifically to meet their requirements
AirMed offers workflows for storing extractions after processing for further processing or for blending with other materials and more. Weights are tracked to five decimal places for precision and reporting.
Packaged products can be sold individually to medical clients or as packaged products to recreational users.
Packaging features in AirMed include the ability to create discrete units such as edible gummies or gel caps, which can be recorded individually in groups or as bulk packages.
Packaging of discrete units can be one discrete unit in a package, multiple discrete units in a package, or bulk discrete units in a bulk package for either storage or to sell as bulk units to another licensed producer.
All labels are produced and created from within AirMed and can be customized to your needs.
To facilitate the sale of products to provincial warehouses, AirMed offers GS1 barcoding and configuration for tracking product cases and master cases.
Inventory management in AirMed is designed to provide a centralized view of your current stock levels of all products to help control costs, manage planning, and forecast with extensive reporting tools.
Shipping is easy with built-in functionality and integration with Purolator services.
Each field related to extractions, packaging, discrete units, samples, and order fulfilment is automatically included by AirMed in Health Canada CTLS and CRA monthly reporting.
With more stringent requirements for these cannabis classes comes a greater need for control and risk mitigation. Quality management (QMS) helps you provide the finest you can offer while reducing risks.
To give our clients the best chance of cultivating success, we’re building a range of QMS features into AirMed to support Good Production Practices (GPP) and a Preventive Control Program (PCP).
No other cannabis record management system offers the breadth of functionality, ease of use, and comprehensive features to cover all classes of cannabis and help you control cost.
- Dried cannabis
- Fresh cannabis
- Cannabis plants
- Cannabis plant seeds
- Edible cannabis
- Cannabis extracts
- Cannabis topicals

Role-based Management in AirMed
Role-based management in AirMed helps control employee access to the software system.
Actions within AirMed are linked to roles. When you assign a role to an employee, you allow access to those actions.
Employees can be assigned to the roles that correspond to the requirements of their jobs. Employees not assigned to specific roles are prevented from accessing the associated workflows.
For example, if a staff member is new and working in cultivation, you can create a role that only provides access to certain actions in the Source Material, Batch, and Lot Details screens. All other action items will not be visible. This lets you restrict access to parts of the system, based on a user’s job function within your organization.
AirMed has several roles defined by default, but you can create as many roles as required. You can also edit or rename existing roles to match your organization’s workflows. Within each role you can specify which actions are associated.
For more information about how roles can help you manage employee access, contact us today by using one of the contact forms or by calling 1-877-313-2442.
For more information on how AirMed helps you business, visit our Software page or our Frequently Asked Questions page. If you’d like to discuss your specific needs, please give us a call at 1-877-313-2442 or use one of the contact forms to start the ball rolling.
AirMed is still 100% Canadian owned
As US corporations buy up seed-to-sale software companies in Canada, AirMed is still 100% Canadian owned.
AirMed was created in 2014 to help Canadian licensed producers meet compliance at all levels of government. Continuously innovating since then, we believe that building a culture of quality is an important part of our customers’ success. This commitment to quality is why a growing list of cultivators, nurseries, processors, manufacturers, and dispensaries use AirMed.
We rely on industry requirements and customer feedback to drive AirMed development, rather than investor pressure. We encourage our users to tell us what matters most to them in a cannabis management system. This feedback helps guide us in adapting AirMed to improve efficiency, productivity and user experience.
Our goal is to provide a responsive solution that not only meets customer needs but anticipates them, regardless of the size or focus of your cannabis business. That has been our driving force for nearly eight years.

Support for GS-1 Barcoding Standards in AirMed
AirMed software offers full functionality for multi-level packaging with layered barcoding that meets GS-1 barcode standards. This is the standard required to sell to provincial government distributors.
Licensed producers who use AirMed can assemble retail-ready individual product packages using a ‘master case’ system and identify and track products at each packaging level.
AirMed software offers full SKU and barcode management that supports GS-1 barcoding standards. Pricing can be set at the package or master case SKU, and custom pricing can be set for specific SKUs by customer. The software offers features for creating and processing the orders as well as fulfilling and shipping them to provincial agencies.
Our master case processing lets you use layered barcoding for individual containers through to cases of multiple containers. The AirMed track-and-trace system allows retail packages to be traced to the lot or batch and ultimately back to the original genetic material. And AirMed has a comprehensive multi-step recall process that completely automates recalls if they are ever needed.
