[PRESS RELEASE] SANTA CRUZ, Calif., November 19, 2024 — Jane Technologies, Inc. (“Jane“), the cannabis industry’s leading e-commerce provider, today highlights the strategic use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) tools across its product ecosystem. Jane leverages these capabilities to develop win-win solutions and create personalized experiences by connecting consumers to the right products, enabling stores to optimize operations, and helping brands extend their targeted reach — benefits that offer everyone in the industry a clearer view of the market landscape.”Since day one, our vision has been to connect consumers with the cannabis products that best resonate with them. We’ve done that by innovating in the retail space through the use of AI, ML, and personalization technology,” said Socrates Rosenfeld, CEO and Co-Founder of Jane. “Integrating AI into our suite of software reflects nearly a decade of discipline, focus and hard work from the Jane team. Cannabis to the consumer is as personal as music is to the listener, and we are excited to bring true personalization to the industry. With MyHigh — our proprietary AI-powered personalization engine — retailers optimize their product selection, brands connect with the right consumers at the right time, and shoppers discover the ideal products for desired effects. Together, we are shaping the future of cannabis for decades to come.”
“Jane‘s commitment to technological advancement has dramatically strengthened our day-to-day operations and revolutionized how we can connect with consumers online and in-store,” said Kristin Vogel, Regional Marketing Director at Cresco. “While AI and machine learning tools aren’t new, how Jane has used them to create cannabis industry-specific tools is unique. The Jane team’s ability to innovate and their willingness to adapt to the changing nature of retail are the reasons why we are thankful for their catalog of solutions and firmly believe they will remain a leader in the industry.”
