Viridian Sciences scores D on the API Report Card. Marketing claims an API, but nothing is documented: no developer portal, spec, sandbox, webhooks, or self-serve OAuth at viridiansciences.com. Real integration runs through SAP Business One's Service Layer or services work; Metrc and BioTrack connectors are end-user products, not APIs.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Viridian Sciences is a cannabis-industry ERP vendor headquartered in Utah that sells a vertical configuration of SAP Business One (branded "Viridian Prime") repurposed for licensed cannabis cultivators, processors/manufacturers, distributors, and dispensaries.
Vertical: Enterprise/HR/ERP, specifically vertical cannabis ERP for license holders operating under state-regulated seed-to-sale compliance regimes. Cultivators use Viridian to log immature plant batches, track vegetative and flowering rooms, record waste, manage harvests, weigh wet/dry/cured product, and push every plant lifecycle event into Metrc or BioTrack automatically.
Viridian Sciences is a small, niche player even within the already-niche cannabis ERP segment. Public data points peg the company at roughly 24 employees and under $5M ARR, with the parent Akerna disclosing only "30+ clients" at the time of the 2021 acquisition.
Yes, for a cannabis operator running on Viridian, the platform is the single system of record for nearly every revenue-critical and state-regulated dataset.
Founded in 2013 in Utah as an SAP Business One partner specializing in cannabis. Acquired by Akerna in April 2021 for ~$6M (1M shares at $6.00).
No public REST API documentation, OpenAPI/Swagger spec, or developer portal, marketing copy claims a "robust API" but provides no technical reference, schema, or sandbox URL prospective integrators can use. Integration delivered through SAP Business One's Service Layer or DI API in practice, forcing third-party developers to learn SAP B1's metadata model, OData semantics, and licensing rules rather than a cannabis-native API surface.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
