The Agreement will allow Cova to provide the Hifyre digital retail platform to its customers including the Spark Perks program and the Fastlane ‘click-and-collect’ service. This Agreement will benefit Cova customers through providing these best-in-class cannabis retail services.
“The strategic agreement with Cova will enable the Hifyre digital retail and analytics platform to be rapidly commercialized across emerging cannabis markets,” shared Matthew Hollingshead, President of Hifyre. “Cova is a leading point of sale company in emerging domestic and international cannabis markets and the Cova and Hifyre teams have worked collaboratively for more than a year now and we are excited to enter into this strategic agreement.”
