Frequently Asked Questions

At Headset we give retailers tools to better use their data to facilitate business decision making. The retailers themselves, and Headset analysts are the only parties that have access to raw retailer data.

The Headset Platform and analysts remove all store level attributes from the retailers' data and collect an anonymous sample from the data to feed into the Headset Insights forecasting algorithm. The Headset Insights platform then returns estimates of daily, statewide sales data for Headset Insights' customers to use to understand the aggregated marketplace.

Your raw data is never accessed or shared to any 3rd parties, and it is protected with the latest security protocols in the world.

We collect receipt level data from participating retail cannabis stores through a direct integration to their point-of-sale system. We also use government reported data to inform our algorithms and improve the quality of our data set.

The depth of our data with visibility into the transaction and beyond, the frequency of our data delivery through our real-time analytics and the unique analytics we provide are just a few of our key differentiators.

Our data and reports encompass 9 different cannabis product categories. Each category is then broken down further into category segments.

Our pricing data and reports are pre-tax.

We collect demographic and behavioral information from loyalty programs at participating retailers.

We will not release a read on a market until we have enough coverage to provide a statistically significant prediction of the entire market. This can be anywhere from 15 to 30% market penetration. However that does not mean we would stop increasing our market penetration once we reach those thresholds. We never stop connecting to new retail locations so we will continue to provide expanding coverage to our Headset Bridge product - Our Vendor Managed Inventory solution.
