Poof: a dispensary marketplace for delivery and pickup

The Laravel API and Vue admin panel I built for Poof, a Canadian marketplace app where customers find nearby licensed dispensaries, order for delivery or pickup, and stores stay in sync with their point-of-sale systems.

Nearby stores, one app.

In 2022 I built Poof’s backend with Laravel 8 and MySQL: a REST API for the mobile app with sign-up by SMS one-time password, addresses, dispensaries near the user by distance, products, cart, orders and referral credits; integrations with the Greenline and Cova point-of-sale systems; and a Vue admin panel where Poof and each dispensary manage their stores, catalogue, inventory, customers and orders.

Key features

Catalogue, POS sync, credits.

Laravel 8 with Passport API tokens, MySQL, a Vue 2 admin with roles and permissions (Poof admin, dispensary admin and sub-admin), Plivo and Twilio SMS, and Firebase push notifications. Screenshots show the admin with anonymised data.

Catalogue & inventory

Products, variants, categories, strain and plant types, with POS categories mapped to Poof’s own and stock tracked per store.

Greenline & Cova sync

Each dispensary links its point-of-sale account. Products sync from Greenline every minute, webhooks keep stock and payments current, and orders are placed back in the store’s POS.
