Live in production at a licensed Nevada dispensary

Automation for local businesses. Apps for retail others won't touch.

Ghost Automation builds custom automation for local businesses — barbershops, salons, gyms, studios, small retail — and fully branded loyalty & ordering apps for specialty and regulated retail: dispensaries, vape shops, and indoor sports. Most providers won't work with regulated retail. We specialize in it.

The Platform

One dashboard. Your whole loyalty engine.

Points, deals, push campaigns, and analytics — run from a staff admin your team actually uses. This is the product, not a slide.

What We Do

Two audiences. One operator who's lived both.

Whether you run a local business or a compliance-heavy dispensary, you get software built around how you actually operate — and you own your customers, your data, and your brand from day one.

For Local Business · Automation

Custom automation that saves you hours.

Barbershops, salons, gyms, studios & small retail. Built per engagement around your workflow.

  • Online booking & scheduling
  • Appointment & review-request reminders
  • Missed-call text-back
  • Customer reactivation & win-back campaigns
  • Review generation
  • Workflow automations
  • Optional: branded loyalty app

SMS-based automations — missed-call text-back, text reminders — are available for standard businesses like these, where carrier rules permit.

The Customer App

What your customers see.

The screens below are the live production app, recreated screen for screen — including Terp Scan, the lab-data feature no other loyalty platform offers. Everything inside the phone is the client's brand — their navy, their cyan, their landmark. The site around it is ours. Yours carries your logo, your colors, your domain.

01 · Home

Wallet-grade loyalty, in your brand.

Everything in this phone is the client's brand — their navy, their cyan, their mountain ridge etched into the card. The violet around it is ours. Yours gets the same treatment: your colors, your landmark, your app.

02 · Rewards

Goals, not stats — every locked reward shows the path.

Four tiers, live progress, and locked rewards that tell members exactly how many points to go. The catalog reads like a map, not a spreadsheet.

03 · Redemption pass

Boarding-pass redemptions, auto-verified against your POS.

Redeeming issues a pass with a lookup code your staff rings like any other discount. The platform watches sales data and confirms it automatically — no manual reconciliation.

04 · Terp Scan

Point the camera at any product. Get the lab results.

Scan the barcode on any product's label and the app pulls its full terpene profile and potency — straight from your lab data. Shoppers can browse the whole menu by terpene. No other loyalty platform does this.

How It Works

From first call to live in weeks.

01

Discovery call

A 15-minute call. You talk, we map your workflow — you won't have to explain your business from scratch.

02

Build · 2–4 weeks

Your app, automations, and staff admin, built per engagement around your existing stack.

03

Launch & train

Go live, train your staff on the admin, and launch to your customers under your brand.

04

Ongoing partnership

The monthly covers infrastructure, support, and continuous improvements — you talk directly to the builder.

Proven in Production

Not a prototype. Live and running today.

Why Us vs. the Big Platforms

Your app, your rules — not a shared wallet in someone else's branding.

What the status quo costs

Renting customers from marketplaces.

$2,000+/month for menu listings on third-party marketplaces where the customer belongs to them, not you.

Locked into legacy platforms.

$1,500–$3,000/month for a generic UI you can't truly white-label, with a roadmap you don't control.

Loyalty as a side product.

Most loyalty vendors treat it as a separate platform. Two systems, two logins, two sources of truth.

App store friction.

If you've been turned away by Apple or stuck waiting on Google, you know the cost. We deliver native-feeling experiences without depending on the app stores' approval calendar.

Your own branded app

Not a shared wallet living inside someone else's branding. Your logo, your domain, your customers.

Flat pricing

No per-message fees, no per-transaction cuts. You know your number every month.

Talk to the builder

You work directly with the operator who codes it — not a support queue or an account rep.

Live in weeks

Launched in weeks, not months. A 2–4 week build, then continuous improvements.

Step 2
FAQ

Straight answers.

Who owns my customer data?+

You do — contractually. Your customers, orders, and behavior data belong to you from day one, and it's written into the contract, not buried in a policy page.

Do I need app-store approval?+

No. The platform is a progressive web app (PWA) — your customers install it straight from the browser. No Apple or Google review, no waiting on an approval calendar, and no gatekeeping of cannabis commerce.

Do you do SMS/text marketing for dispensaries?+

No. Carriers treat cannabis as restricted content — even the specialized SMS platforms rely on sanitized templates and age-gated links, and still face filtering, throttling, and silently blocked messages. We build on push and email instead: channels that deliver 100% of what you send, free, with no per-message fees and no carrier that can turn them off. (SMS is available for our non-regulated clients — barbershops, salons, gyms — where carriers allow it.)

Does it work with my POS?+

Loyalty is POS-synced — points update with real purchases. Every build is scoped per engagement around your existing stack, and we confirm your POS setup on the discovery call.

Do you fully integrate with Dutchie?+

The app runs on read-access to your existing menu & POS feed — that's live day one, powers loyalty, ordering, and Terp Scan, and requires no workflow changes on your end. Deeper native integration (full two-way sync, richer catalog) is a step-two option that uses your API key and developer approval — it's a premium enhancement, never a requirement to launch. The app is fully functional without it.

How do reward redemptions stay in sync with our POS?+

Each reward maps to a discount that already exists in your POS. When a member redeems, they get a pass with a lookup code — your staff ring the promo unit and apply that discount like any other sale. The platform watches your sales data and automatically confirms the redemption once the discount is rung. No manual reconciliation, no end-of-day cleanup.

How long until launch?+

The build takes 2–4 weeks, then we launch and train your staff. Live in weeks, not months.

What's the contract?+

Business Automation tiers are 6-month commitment rates. Everything is flat pricing — no per-message fees, no per-transaction cuts, so you know your number every month. App Platform terms are scoped on the discovery call.

Is this proven?+

Yes. The platform runs in production at a licensed Nevada dispensary today — POS-synced points, a personalized deals engine, and automated push campaigns. Book a walkthrough and see it live.

The Unfair Advantage

Built by an operator. Not an agency.

Most retail software is built by tech people who've never worked a register, or by retail operators who outsourced the tech to people who don't know the business. Ghost Automation is the rare third option — built by an operator who codes.
