A Simple, Modern Alternative to Flowhub for Digital Menus
Trikome is a simple, modern alternative to Flowhub for dispensaries that want fast, flexible digital menu boards without the overhead of a full POS system. While Flowhub is a comprehensive platform for managing sales, inventory, and compliance, Trikome focuses on making in-store menus easy to control, update, and display across screens.
At a glance
Why choose Trikome over Flowhub
Flowhub is a full cannabis retail platform. It combines POS, inventory management, compliance tracking, payments, and analytics into one system designed to run your entire dispensary.
Trikome takes a more focused approach. Instead of replacing your POS, it improves your in-store menu experience. You can create digital menu boards, organize products into collections, and push updates instantly to every screen — without depending on POS workflows.
This makes Trikome faster to set up and easier to manage for teams that just want better menus. You can update pricing, promotions, or product displays in seconds and keep every screen in sync across locations.
Flowhub also supports menu management and real-time syncing, but it's tightly tied to its POS and inventory system, meaning menus depend on broader operational workflows.
In short, Flowhub is built to run your entire dispensary, while Trikome is built to make your menu faster, simpler, and easier to manage in-store.
Flowhub handles transactions. Trikome handles first impressions.
Your POS processes sales. Your menu creates them. Trikome gives Flowhub dispensaries the premium in-store experience that converts browsing into buying — without touching the rock-solid POS system your team already trusts.
Where Trikome is stronger
Purpose-built displays vs POS-first thinking
Flowhub's interface is built for budtenders processing transactions quickly. Trikome is built for customers browsing products at a distance. Different purpose, different design — and it shows.
Free to start — complement Flowhub without adding enterprise cost
Flowhub's Maui POS is an enterprise investment. Trikome starts at $0, letting you enhance the customer experience without another platform contract on top of your Flowhub subscription.
Open ecosystem — works with Flowhub's open API philosophy
Flowhub prides itself on being "open by design." Trikome shares that philosophy — we work alongside Flowhub (and any other tool) without locking you into a single-vendor ecosystem.
Auto-rotating menus designed for passive viewing
Trikome pages cycle automatically through collections, featured products, and promotions. Flowhub's interface is interactive (click to navigate). Trikome is ambient — designed to be watched, not clicked.
Multi-location sync — mirror Flowhub's multi-store capabilities
Both platforms scale. Just as Flowhub manages compliance across states, Trikome syncs menu updates across all your locations instantly — change a price once, every TV updates.
