Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manufacturers of consumable hemp products face challenges in staying updated with changing laws and regulations requiring QR codes on product labels, and in maintaining and updating websites to comply with these requirements.
Innovation Solution
A software system that allows users to create and manage internet product pages, generate QR codes, and alert subscribers to new compliance requirements, ensuring that product information including COAs is accessible and compliant with various state laws.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manufacturers manually create and update websites to comply with varying state laws, then compliance accuracy can be maintained, but the process becomes time-consuming and technically challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables manufacturers to self-serve by automatically generating compliant product pages through a user-friendly interface where they simply input product information. The system automatically handles the complex task of formatting, validating, and publishing compliant pages without requiring manual website creation or legal expertise, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining compliance accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adapts to varying state laws by dynamically adjusting parameters such as required fields, formatting rules, and validation criteria based on the selected state. When a manufacturer selects their target state(s), the system automatically configures the appropriate compliance parameters, eliminating the need for manual updates to accommodate different state requirements.
2Reliability
If manufacturers manually monitor and update compliance requirements, then they can stay current with changing laws, but the process becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically notify manufacturers of updates to state laws and regulations. When compliance requirements change, the system sends alerts to manufacturers, allowing them to quickly update their product information without having to continuously monitor legal changes themselves. This maintains compliance up-to-date-ness while reducing the complexity of manual monitoring.
3Reliability
If manufacturers create separate websites for each state requirement, then compliance with specific state laws is ensured, but the overall process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides a universal platform that can generate compliant product pages for multiple states simultaneously. Instead of requiring separate websites for each state, manufacturers can create a single product entry and the system automatically generates state-specific compliant pages tailored to each selected state's requirements. This maintains state-specific compliance while dramatically reducing website management complexity.

A software system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, where the medium includes a set of instructions stored thereon that when accessed by a processor enable the processor to perform a method of creating an internet product page, the method comprising: adding a product to the system; querying a subscriber for information; generating an internet product page displaying information from the subscriber queries; generating a QR code; and downloading the QR code to the subscriber. A software system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, where the medium includes a set of instructions stored thereon that when accessed by a processor enable the processor to perform a method of creating a substantially compliant internet product page and for alerting subscribers of new requirements for substantially compliant internet product pages, the method comprising: adding a product to the system; querying a subscriber as to which states the product will be sold in; querying the subscriber for product information; querying the subscriber for batch information; querying the subscriber for ingredients and ingredients information; querying the subscriber for certificate of analysis; generating a dynamic QR code; generating a substantially compliant internet product page, displaying information from subscriber queries; querying the subscriber whether to link the dynamic QR code to the generated substantially compliant internet product page or link the dynamic QR code to another internet product page; redirecting traffic from URL address encoded in QR code to the internet product page selected by the subscriber; previewing internet product page selected by the subscriber; querying the subscriber if internet product page will be published or will be kept private; publishing internet product page if the subscriber elected to publish; and downloading QR code to the subscriber. The invention is also related to a software system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, where the medium includes a set of instructions stored thereon that when accessed by a processor enable the processor to perform a method of creating a substantially compliant internet product page and for alerting subscribers of new requirements for substantially compliant internet product pages, the method comprising: querying an administrator to select new state to add or select previously entered state to edit; querying the administrator whether state requires QR codes on products; adding new state to list of states for subscribers to select from, if a new state is being added; querying the administrator for each item of information required by the selected state; adding each item of information required by the selected state as data fields, titles and descriptions, for product information, batch information, and ingredient information, and/or adding titles and/or descriptions with checkable boxes for tests and information required on a certificate of analysis required by the selected state; querying the administrator whether selected state requires new item of information not previously required by other previously entered states; querying the administrator for new item of information required from subscribers; adding new item of information such that a subscriber will see the new item of information if the subscriber choses the selected state as a state subscriber's product will be sold in; querying the administrator whether to send notification to subscribers who had previously selected the selected state as a state subscriber's product will be sold in; and sending notification to the subscriber if the administrator elects to send notification.
