Grow West Cannabis

Artem

Grow West Cannabis Company is a Maryland-based cannabis cultivator and processor that aims to provide safe, consistent, and high-quality cannabis products to patients and consumers in Maryland. The company operates a 130,000 square-foot indoor facility where it grows and processes cannabis, and it is licensed by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission.

One of the key factors contributing to Grow West’s success is its use of technology, including the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV for its back-office operations. With Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Grow West has been able to automate its purchasing, inventory management, and financial processes, enabling it to make data-driven decisions and optimize its operations.

Another key technology that has contributed to Grow West’s success is its integration with iHeart Jane, a leading online cannabis platform that provides consumers with information on cannabis strains, products, and dispensaries.

Using BC365Connector Grow West has integrated its product inventory with iHeart Jane platform, allowing consumers to browse and purchase its products online. This integration has enabled Grow West to expand its reach beyond its physical location and reach a wider audience of cannabis consumers.

Tokyo Sushi self-service kiosks use:

Label printing station

The printing station is a part of a complex, cloud-based software solution designed to optimize Tokyo Sushi’s production processes. On one side, the station receives data from NAV via .NET Core NAV middleware, and on the other side, it receives data from an electronic scale via a COM port and websockets. After receiving the data, the station combines it, generates ZPL code, and sends it to a Zebra printer to print barcode labels. This solution allows the business to instantly change prices and add new products and ingredients to the line.

About Tenging

Tenging is a leading consulting compant that provides development and support to clients managing Microsoft Dynamics Business Central solutions for the retail and hospitality sectors in Europe and the USA. With a team of 40 skilled professionals who work remotely from 8 different countries. The company’s headquarters is based in Vilnius, Lithuania.

As an early employee at Tenging, I played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for the company’s growth. With my expertise in architectural solutions, I helped streamline operations and increase the company’s revenue by 20 times in just 5 years. This growth also led to a significant increase in the number of employees, expanding the team from just 2 to 40 talented individuals spread across the globe.

Working at Tenging has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Collaborating with a team of experts from diverse backgrounds has helped me expand my skillset and broaden my perspectives. I take pride in being part of an organization that is dedicated to providing top-notch services and delivering value to its customers.

Azure infrastructure

In my first project, I was responsible for developing and deploying the complete company infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. My primary duties and accomplishments during this project included:

  • Deploy Virtual Machines for application and database layers.
  • Installation and configuration Active Directory Domain Controller.
  • Setup organizational security polices, rights and permissions.
  • Installation and configuration MSSQL servers, database transferring, setup backup polices.
  • Setup IIS servers, domains names administration, issuing SSL certificates.
  • Installation and managing NAV Middle tiers versions from 2009 to Business Central.
  • Virtual networks setup and administration.
  • Network interfaces security policies configuration.
  • Configuration backup polices for virtual machines and databases.

Project management tool

My next challenge at Tenging was to develop a project management tool that would help streamline the daily work of our employees. I created a powerful tool that allows colleagues to easily create and assign tasks, add comments, attach files, and track their work hours.

The project management tool leverages NAV2013 as its backend and incorporates its project management business logic. When users log their hours, the record is automatically saved in the Time Sheet Line table in NAV, allowing for seamless financial optimization using the NAV Financial Management module.

To enhance the functionality of the tool, we integrated it with popular software such as Teams, Outlook, Sharepoint, and Azure AD. This allowed for better collaboration among team members and streamlined workflows.

The task management tool was built using .NET Core NAV middleware and the Quasar Framework, ensuring a robust and scalable solution that meets the needs of our growing business.

Mobile application for task management tool

For my next project, I was tasked with converting the Task Management System into a mobile application using the Quasar Framework. This framework enabled me to utilize the same codebase for building web, mobile, and desktop applications. Throughout this project, I acquired valuable experience in using Xcode and Android Studio to develop and debug mobile applications. Additionally, I became adept at submitting applications for review and successfully navigating the review process for both Google Play and App Store.

Unified API Monitoring Tool.

Tenging has implemented a Unified API Monitoring Tool that consolidates all the client solutions developed and published by the company. This powerful tool enables our support center to quickly identify and resolve communication issues in real-time, ensuring seamless and uninterrupted services for clients.

With the Unified API Monitoring Tool, our team can monitor all client systems and applications from a single dashboard. The tool offers a comprehensive range of features such as real-time alerts, performance tracking, and detailed analytics.
