DENVER, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Terrayn, a Denver-based cannabis retail solutions provider that partners with dispensaries across the United States and Canada, today announced the launch of HyperPerformance, its new suite of cannabis industry intelligence tools. Aimed at solving common challenges facing cannabis retail proprietors in marketing, training, competitive analysis and decision-making, this solution will provide dispensary owners with the business intelligence and tools they need to understand consumer behavior and enhance operational excellence.

While traditionally known for helping cannabis retailers increase foot traffic using its HyperLocal SEO services, Terrayn is now expanding its footprint in the cannabis retail technology arena with this newest suite of business intelligence software.

The HyperPerformance suite was developed by dispensary owners for dispensary owners to overcome challenges caused by incomplete data, strict regulations, and increasingly saturated markets. This innovative performance dashboard provides a unique view of data with actionable insights on pricing, product mix and the impact of marketing campaigns. Additional tools, including a product recommender and custom menu displays, are designed to enhance operational excellence.

This solution comes as the cannabis industry is at an impetus of change, evolution, and fierce competition. Dispensary owners must rely on data, not their gut, to make business decisions and many are struggling to make a profit despite the promise of a "green rush" upon the onset of legal, recreational state cannabis laws. Nonetheless, the industry is still expected to reach $72 billion by 2030 and newly legal states like New York and New Jersey are ushering in more industry players and competitors daily.

HyperPerformance will arm dispensary owners with data insights and business intelligence to help them stand out from competitors. The principle behind both Terrayn's HyperLocal solution and this latest software was inspired by military solutions used to locate IEDs in Afghanistan. The company's founder and CEO, Trevor Shirk, is a former Army officer.

"When we were looking for IEDs, we couldn't physically search everywhere due to the sheer volume of the areas we had to clear. To overcome this challenge, we leveraged data and technology to focus our efforts on the areas that were most likely to be targeted," said Shirk. "After the Army, I applied the same principle to help retailers get more customers and focus resources where they are most effective and impactful."

Terrayn launched the HyperPerformance suite of business intelligence tools in September 2022 and is continuing to evolve its technology solutions to help dispensary owners overcome common challenges.

About Terrayn

Terrayn is a key dispensary partner and problem-solver within the cannabis industry providing industry-leading data, customer acquisition, and technology solutions to solve common hurdles facing cannabis retail.

The futures digital, and thanks to the pandemic, that futures here sooner than many expected, leaving several industries struggling to catch up.

But when hiring costs can range from 50% of an employees salary for entry-level roles to as much as 150% for skilled workers and managers, investing in training existing workforces could pay dividends. Accredited online learning from world-class training provider, ILX, could help ease your workforces journey into the new dawn of digital.

The impact of Covid-19 on industry

Covid-19 accelerated digital transformation, leaving customers and service end-users few options but digital engagement, and forcing businesses to adapt to survive. The pandemic impacted almost every facet of the working world, including:

And now, as the world gets back on its feet, organisations are facing staff shortages, supply chain disruption, inflation, and uncertainty.

But, with challenges come opportunities. And by training your workforce to adapt to the new world of industry, your business can face the future with confidence.

The most in-demand skills in 2022

Dealing with the after-effects of the pandemic has forced many businesses to reprioritise the skills they look for in their workforce. The skills rated most highly by organisations are:

Given the unprecedented matrix of challenges businesses face, the demand for management and leadership should come as no surprise. Dealing with these crises requires having the right vision, setting effective strategies, making the right decisions, setting the right examples, and communicating the right messages at the right time.

Learning and Development is key to post-pandemic success

New ways of working and the adoption of remote-hybrid employment have been key drivers in an increased demand for learning and development.

With staff shortages affecting every industry, training is seen as a key differentiator (80%) in attracting top talent. And with the shift into hybrid and remote work models, and the increased uptake of AI technology, organisations are investing in training their IT and product development functions, as a priority.

Organisations must keep up with the pace of AI adoption

The capabilities of AI are already stretching beyond what many could have predicted. But taking advantage of the efficiencies and benefits it can offer is dependent on organisations and their workforces keeping up with the speed of advancement.

The reality is that artificial intelligence (AI) is at work already it impacts how we search, how we shop and even how we meet people. Here at ILX, we believe that demystifying AI is key. People have always feared what they dont understand, and this revolution is no different.

Timing will be a factor, but in all cases, making AI accessible is key to getting the workforce of the future engaged. Russell Kenrick, Managing Director of ILX Group,

AI to make some low-skilled roles redundant

Managing Director of ILX Group, Russell Kenrick, explains how re-skilling professionals can help combat the AI skills gap, and allow room for lower-skill workers to upskill.

The upskilling (or reskilling) debate is about the roles that are leaving vs the roles that are needed for the future. The real elephant in the room, is the roles that are going (due to AI today) are largely lower-skill roles. Unfair I know, but were seeing AI replace shop workers, waiters, receptionists and office admin and its a long journey for some of those workers to fill the skill gaps like data scientists, digital marketing experts and IT professionals. But its possible.

Where it gets even scarier, is when we see more AI and automation within what we call professional roles, such as sales, customer services, and business support roles like HR, learning, finance, legal, IT Service desks, etc. Its the reskilling of these people that will drive growth in AI roles because the workflow is more complex.

He gives advice on which AI to opt for:

When implementing AI, we recommend the use of Agile methods to get the best results it requires rapid feedback loops and lots of experimentation.

Data science skills will help your workforce better understand its customers

The shift to online buying isnt just a challenge for organisations, its also a massive opportunity to gather data and use it to analyse and understand your customers like never before. Organisations that analyse data to better understand customer behaviour outperform their peers by 85%.

However, a national shortage of technical IT staff means that training is essential.

Digital MarketingKeeping your business competitive in a shifting global landscape requires acknowledging where skillsets need an update.

Managing Director of the ILX Group, Russell Kenrick, explains what it takes to create high-performing sales and marketing teams:

Sales and marketing are in transition, driven by technological advances and accelerated by the global pandemic. The traditional skills associated with sales and marketing no longer guarantee success. To be successful today, professionals in these functions need to marry traditional content and communication skills with data analytics, data-driven decision making, digital marketing skills, such as SEO, PPC, CRM and social, and perhaps most importantly Agile project management. This last one is often overlooked, but more often than not, it is the difference between high-performance sales and marketing teams and the rest.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

MANCHESTER, N.H. Former Vice President Mike Pence will return next month to New Hampshire, sparking further speculation about the likelihood that Pence is gearing up for a White House run in 2024.

Penceon Aug. 17 will headline the New Hampshire Institute of Politics "Politics and Eggs." For two decades the St. Anselm College speaking series has been a must stop for presidential candidates and potential White House contenders visiting the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state.

"Theres a tremendous amount of interest in hearing from the former vice president. Im asked all the time, When are you having Vice President Pence to the institute?" New Hampshire Institute of Politics executive director Neil Leveque told Fox News.

Pence will also make other stops while in New Hampshire, including an event with GOP state lawmakers in the North Country.

The visit will be Pences second to the Granite State this year, following a late May stop where the former vice president headlined the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Womens annual Lilac Luncheon and took part in a roundtable discussion with law enforcement members that was held at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics. Pence also traveled to New Hampshire twice last year with visits in June and December.

The former vice presidents also made multiple stops the past year and a half in Iowa whose caucuses lead off the presidential nominating calendar and South Carolina which votes third in the GOP calendar and one in Nevada, which votes fourth in the Republican schedule.

When asked about a White House bid, Pence answers with his often-used line that after Novembers midterm elections are over, "well do as our family has always done. Well reflect and pray and consider where we might next serve."

2024 PRELUDE: PENCES' MOVES PREPARE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT FOR LIKELY 2024 RUN

If Pence does run in 2024, he may face off in a GOP field that also includes his onetime boss, former President Donald Trump, who for a year and a half has repeatedly teased making another presidential bid. The former president seemed to indicate in an interview published Thursday by New York Magazine that his 2024 decision is about when not if.

"I would say my big decision will be whether I go before or after," Trump said in an interview published Thursday, seemingly referring to the midterm elections.

The comments, which grabbed plenty of attention, seemed to confirm previous reporting from a handful of news organizations, including Fox News, that the former president and his top political aides have been mulling the timing of when Trump should announce a 2024 bid. And Fox News confirmed a recent report from Politico that Trumps been discussing his 2024 plans with top donors at small dinners in recent months.

Regarding a Pence visit, longtime New Hampshire based Republican consultant Jim Merrill told Fox News that "this is the year that likely candidates want to lay the groundwork to build the foundation in the early primary and caucus states and Mike Pence has been a leader among the potential candidates in doing just that."

Merrill, a veteran of numerous GOP presidential campaigns, argued that "Pence is very clearly preparing a run for president. Hes doing so methodically and spending time in the right places to lay the groundwork what I think will be a well-received campaign for president."

Republican National Committee member from New Hampshire Chris Ager praised Pence as someone whos "been extremely helpful in fundraising for our local candidates and it's much appreciated."

And Ager said the former vice presidents visit "maintains our high level of relevance on the national scene and it's great for the candidates because they get to interact with smaller groups of people and get a real pulse of whats on the mind of average voters."

2024 Watch: Former Vice President Mike Pence returning to New Hampshire ...

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney delivered a searing indictment of former President Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party on Monday in one of her first speeches since her primary defeat last month.

Cheney this week gave the Walter Berns Constitution Day lecture at AEI, a center-right economic think tank in Washington DC, warning that America's freedom is in a perilous position and urging the country to hold Trump accountable for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Cheney, as the top Republican on the House Select Committee investigating the insurrection, has long been one of the few outspoken GOP critics of Trump a stance that ultimately cost her her congressional seat after Trump spent months propping up her Republican challenger.

But Cheney on Monday did not dwell on her political woes, opting instead to further rebuke Trump's actions, or lack thereof, on January 6, 2021.

"I hope you all heard the testimony in our select committee hearings of Pat Cipollone, corroborated by Cassidy Hutchinson and others on President Trump's White House staff," she said. "Testimony that President Trump was the only person who refused to respond to desperate calls for help, even from his own congressional allies. He refused to come to their aid."

Several witnesses, including Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the committee that they were puzzled by Trump's inaction as rioters stormed the US capitol on January 6.

In her speech on Monday, Cheney suggested that Trump's second-in-command, Mike Pence, stepped into his superior's role.

"If you watched our hearings closely, you understand that Vice President Mike Pence was essentially the president for most of that day," she said. "White House staff knew it, and so did every other Republican and Democratic leader in Washington."

After Trump assailed Pence on Twitter for refusing to reject Electoral College votes for President Joe Biden, rioters throughout the Capitol began chanting "hang Mike Pence." Hutchinson testified earlier this summer that Trump defended the insurrectionists' call for violence, saying that "Mike deserves it."

In his recent autobiography, "So Help Me God," Pence wrote that he was not afraid, during the events of January 6, but angry.

"I was angry at what I saw, how it desecrated the seat of our democracy and dishonored the patriotism of millions of our supporters, who would never do such a thing here or anywhere else," Pence wrote.

According to "The Divider," a new book by Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, Trump has said he would not pick Pence to be his running mate if he launches a 2024 campaign.

"It would be totally inappropriate" to pick Pence as his running mate, Trump said, according to the book."Mike committed political suicide," the former told Glasser and Baker.

In her speech, Cheney also urged people to rewatch testimony from the committee's summer hearings and listen to what several of Trump's former officials said about the then-president's post-2020 actions while under oath.

"How could Trump's refusal to act, his betrayal or our Republic, of our Constitution, of our principles, come with no cost?" she said.
