[PRESS RELEASE] – SAN DIEGO, Calif., Sept. 21, 2026 – PROTEUS Business Solutions Inc., developer of the market-leading cannabis enterprise resource platform (ERP) PROTEUS420, announced the rollout of PheeBee, a proprietary AI assistant engineered specifically to address the industry’s most critical operational challenges, including driving revenue and streamlining workflows while protecting sensitive customer data. PheeBee optimizes profitability and compliance with real-time insights across cultivation, manufacturing and retail operations.
Unlike standard AI platforms like ChatGPT or Claude, which crawl the public web and present severe data security risks, PheeBee operates as a closed, account-isolated system. By analyzing only an individual tenant's internal data, PheeBee eliminates the risk of external data exposure, allowing dispensaries to meet strict state-level privacy regulations and keep customer order histories completely secure.
At the retail counter, PheeBee acts as an intelligent co-pilot for dispensary staff. By analyzing past customer purchases and preferences, PheeBee equips budtenders with instant, hyper-personalized product recommendations that increase order values and enhance the shopping experience. Throughout the entire organization, PheeBee automates essential daily operations, tracking state-specific regulatory updates, generating AI-optimized product descriptions for e-commerce menus, performing bulk image searches to map missing catalog assets, and powering targeted marketing campaigns alongside customer service chatbots.
"Cannabis operators shouldn't have to choose between AI innovation and data privacy," PROTEUS420 co-founder and CEO Dawne Morris said. "Public AI models create massive compliance risks. PheeBee delivers real, actionable intelligence while keeping your data locked down and completely secure."
To streamline dispensary operations even further, PROTEUS420 is preparing to launch PheeBee’s next major expansion: Staff Pattern Analysis. Designed to tackle labor inefficiency, this upcoming tool will evaluate historical store traffic and sales trends to optimize employee scheduling, reduce labor overhead and improve store productivity.
