DENVER, July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — MassRoots, Inc. (OTCQB: MSRT) and Odava, Inc., a leading regulatory compliance platform for the cannabis industry, have executed a Definitive Agreement for MassRoots to acquire Odava for cash and shares of MassRoots’ common stock. Odava is an industry-leading platform technology that provides compliance, point-of-sale, and supply chain management for the cannabis industry.

“This acquisition expands MassRoots’ offerings to dispensaries to include point-of-sale and regulatory compliance software, consolidating the most important operations for cannabis businesses into one central platform,” stated MassRoots CEO Mr. Isaac Dietrich. “We expect with MassRoots’ resources and relationships, we can grow the number of dispensaries utilizing Odava from dozens to hundreds by early next year.

Currently, Odava offers end-to-end regulatory compliance and point-of-sale software to dispensaries and cultivators in Oregon.
