"Our partnership with NYCRA is a key step in supporting New York’s cannabis retailers with the best-in-class technology they need to thrive," said Moe Afaneh, COO of BioTrack Alleaves. "By aligning our expertise in compliance and operations with NYCRA’s commitment to supporting retailers, we are providing the tools that will enable success in this exciting new market."

The New York Cannabis Retail Association was created to empower licensed cannabis retailers with essential resources, education, and advocacy. As an advocate for equity and collaboration, NYCRA plays a vital role in supporting New York’s CAURD (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary) licensees, helping operators build a thriving, inclusive cannabis industry.

Through this partnership with BioTrack and Alleaves, NYCRA members will have access to leading cannabis management tools that drive growth and ensure compliance. The collaboration also includes exclusive marketing and operational support, educational events, and direct communication channels, all designed to help retailers connect with their customers and grow their businesses. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of New York’s cannabis retail landscape.

"As a co-founder of NYCRA, this is a proud moment for me to witness communities like ours, represented by justice-involved individuals (JIIs), collaborating with companies like BioTrack. This partnership demonstrates the remarkable progress in our industry," said Jayson Tantalo, VP of Operations at NYCRA. "After numerous discussions with Moe, it is clear that our relationship not only positions BioTrack at the forefront of all retailers but also brings much-needed financial support for hardware and software to our members, with a system mandated by the state. This collaboration adds tremendous value to our mission."
