Hemptemps
Purpose-Built Workforce Management Platform for Cannabis
Built the first purpose-built workforce management platform for the cannabis industry — an industry that had NO existing software designed for its unique compliance, training, and operational requirements. Hemptemps connects employers with qualified workers while handling everything from employer onboarding (GetAccept contracts), payment processing (Authorize.net), payroll integrations (Paychex & Paycor), QuickBooks invoicing, geo-fenced time tracking, mandatory training compliance, to multi-facility management and employer/worker dashboards.

// The problem · 8 pain points
The Challenge
The cannabis industry was forced to use generic staffing platforms and manual processes to manage their workforce — none of which understood cannabis-specific compliance requirements, mandatory state training, multi-facility operations, or the unique challenges of a heavily regulated industry. Employers tracked compliance in spreadsheets, workers had no centralized place to manage certifications, and time tracking was either paper-based or done through tools that couldn't geo-fence to specific facilities.
No platform built for cannabis
No purpose-built workforce platform existed for the cannabis industry — employers used generic staffing tools that ignored regulatory requirements
Contracts by email
Employer onboarding was manual — contracts were emailed back and forth with no digital signing or tracking
Payments outside the platform
No integrated payment processing — employer payments to Hemptemps were handled outside the platform with no automation
Payroll coordinated by hand
Employee payroll required manual coordination across multiple payroll providers (Paychex, Paycor) with no system integration
Invoices typed into QuickBooks
Employer invoicing was disconnected from the platform — QuickBooks entries were created manually for every billing cycle
Compliance tracked in spreadsheets
Complex compliance tracking for worker certifications, state-mandated training, and facility-specific requirements was done manually in spreadsheets
No geo-fenced clock-in
Time tracking had no geo-fencing capability — employers couldn't verify workers were clocking in at the correct facility
Training records scattered
Mandatory industry training (safety, compliance, handling) had no integrated LMS — training records were scattered across systems
// How it works

// What we built
Our Solution
Employer Onboarding with GetAccept
Integrated GetAccept for digital contract signing — employers are onboarded through automated workflows with e-signatures, document tracking, and contract management, eliminating the manual email back-and-forth.
Payment Processing via Authorize.net
Built Authorize.net integration for employer payments to Hemptemps — automated billing, recurring charges, and payment tracking directly within the platform.
Payroll Integrations (Paychex & Paycor)
Integrated with both Paychex and Paycor payroll systems so employee payments are processed automatically based on approved timesheets — no manual payroll data entry required.
QuickBooks Invoicing for Employers
Connected the platform to QuickBooks for automated employer invoicing — billing cycles generate invoices automatically, syncing line items, hours, and rates without manual bookkeeping.
Employer Dashboard & Multi-Facility Management
Built a comprehensive employer portal for posting jobs, managing applicants, overseeing multiple facility locations, tracking staffing levels, and monitoring compliance status — all from a single dashboard.
Geo-Fenced Time Tracking
Implemented GPS-based geo-fenced clock-in/clock-out so employers can verify workers are at the correct facility. Digital timesheets with approval workflows replace paper-based tracking.
Integrated Learning Management System (LMS)
Built an LMS for mandatory cannabis industry training — safety protocols, compliance requirements, and state-mandated coursework. Workers complete training within the platform and certifications are automatically tracked.
Worker Onboarding & Dashboard
Created a full worker onboarding flow and portal where employees register, complete onboarding requirements, find jobs, manage certifications, view timesheet history, track training completion, and maintain their employment records in one place.
// In their words
“I was running a multi-location cannabis staffing operation entirely by hand — training, certifications, scheduling, time tracking, client onboarding, contracts, invoicing, all of it. 27nodes built a platform that handles everything in one place. Employees get trained through the built-in LMS, earn their certifications, get scheduled and assigned to facilities, clock in with geo-fencing, and review their timesheets. On the employer side, clients sign contracts digitally through GetAccept, payments process automatically through Authorize.net, payroll syncs with Paychex and Paycor, and invoices generate through QuickBooks — all without us touching a spreadsheet. It completely transformed how we operate.”
