These ARE Facts
The Zazzz rollout has been an abject failure. Period. If you were the Zazzz project leader, would you be pleased with the results to date? I would be downright embarrassed and ashamed at my inability to manage deadlines/expectations but more so at how badly clients and shareholders have been let down
The Montana's event was mediocre with a poor turnout and a patchwork machine on display. I was enthusiastic back then because up until that point, the long-promised MJ vending machine from Tranzbyte had not taken physical form. The carrot was finally dangled in plain view.
But in the weeks after the Montana's launch, the Zazzz machine had not even been physically placed at Herbal Elements. It wasn't until much later that a machine was finally plunked down at HE but even then it was not operational due to alleged "legal compliance" or software or whatever poorly crafted excuses. What should have been an exciting inaugural Zazzz vending sale event was replaced with months of delays to the point where nobody can verify a single sale from Zazzz. And that is a fact: to date there is only 1 video of a man "acquiring" a product from Zazzz but the video does not show him using any special ID devices or give a step by step demo of verification, selection, dispensing......the rest if the videos are of AG employees using the machine, Stephen and Greg.
Fast forward to September and American Green announces half a dozen more dispensaries across the country with "signed contracts" to lease Zazzz machines. Woo freakin who, now ERBB should be gaining value! The Zazzz has had its "beta" period at HE and they should be ready to rock and rollout!
Nope. Instead we are greeted by Mach 2?!??! Wait, the "Mach 1" hasn't even been in operation? And the new machine is infinitely more complicated by including a flat-touchscreen that will require hi-res strain/brand specific media just for customers to know what they're buying
Whatever, the PR says it will be out in mid October, so I guess it's all good.
Early October arrives......
Wait.......American Green tweeted something about more software testing? Seriously, tweeted? More delays? This is where I became suspect because that "software" delay made me really wonder about what the Mach 2 has to offer and I was not impressed. Mainly I realized, these delays would be significant and before long, it's mid-November with not a single Mach 2 placed and yet another indefinite delay until December.
I fail to see where Zazzz is a success and why people are acting like I a "spinning" a yarn here. Sure AG has brought forth the long overdue MJ vending machine but several months after the "release", there is still not a dime being generated by what will soon be the second generation of the machine. What really scares me is with lack of transparency regarding the OneBode sale, the lack of accounting for the supposed $1.17m Jurassic Water unit order and other general failures at AG, how are we supposed to believe AG even owns the Tomassi patents for vending controlled substances.
