NY’s Compliance Plot Twist: Confident LIMS Is Ready for Metrc

BioTrack yesterday, Metrc tomorrow—Confident LIMS has you covered.
Confident LIMS is the only independent LIMS approved for both systems, keeping labs compliant no matter what’s next.

Update – September 2025

The New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has announced that the state will implement Metrc as its seed‑to‑sale system instead of BioTrack as initially planned. OCM completed an assessment of both systems and determined that switching to Metrc is in the best interest of New York’s regulated cannabis market. OCM and Metrc are now developing a project timeline, with a targeted integration go‑live in early 2026. This announcement does not remove the requirement for licensees to maintain an electronic, real‑time inventory tracking system.

Confident LIMS continues to support both BioTrack and Metrc, so our clients are already prepared for this transition. If you’re already using Confident, you have nothing to worry about. If not, now is the perfect time to future‑proof your lab.

Who needs a crystal ball when you’ve got Confident LIMS?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 2025
San Francisco, CA — Only in cannabis compliance can you spend months preparing for one system, only to find out it might be another. New York’s planned BioTrack rollout was cruising toward go‑live… until BioTrack was acquired by Metrc and the switch hit pause. Regulators have since made it official: New York will transition its seed‑to‑sale system to Metrc, and the integration is projected to go live in early 2026.

Some labs panicked. Confident customers didn’t blink.

That’s because Confident LIMS is the only independent LIMS provider approved by both BioTrack and Metrc. Whether regulators stick with BioTrack, switch to Metrc, or invent “BioMetrc 2.0,” Confident customers are already covered.
