The Challenge
Speed to Market Is the Real Currency
In cannabis, the operators who win aren't just the ones with the best product — they're the ones who can get compliant, market-ready packaging into their supply chain fastest, without disruption to retail.
For a multi-state operator like Elevate, that means every week spent on packaging research, sourcing, and costing is a week not spent getting new products on shelves.
Why Elevate Partnered With DIZPOT
A Three-Year Foundation Built on More Than Packaging
Since October 2023, DIZPOT has supported Elevate across Missouri, Illinois, and Arizona:
- 147 orders delivered
- 231 projects managed
- 285 SKUs produced across all markets
- 13.3M+ units manufactured
When Elevate launched in Arizona and Illinois, DIZPOT's warehouse operated as an extension of Elevate's own operation — pre-staging inventory and holding IL jar inventory (27 pallets) so retail sales continued without disruption.
The result: a 100% on-time delivery rate across all Elevate markets since day one, confirmed by Elevate's own Customer Project Management Statements.
The Insight: Getting Ahead of the Timeline
What Elevate Told Us After Our Last Meeting
"A major insight after the meeting is that we are making our research on new product packaging much harder and more time-consuming than necessary... Going forward, when we work on a new product, [our team] will reach out to [DIZPOT] directly to conduct packaging research and costing. After [DIZPOT] lands on the packaging, we will take it to the design team. This shaves 4-8 weeks off our new product development timeline."

How This Plays Out Operationally
The Model
A few things from the existing partnership explain why looping DIZPOT in earlier could compress timelines this much:
- Production visibility — real-time updates on every order, every step
- Fulfillment precision — DIZPOT manages inbound, storage, and outbound logistics for warehouse-ready inventory
- On-demand storage — product held and shipped on request, no minimum pull requirements
- Supply chain cadence — moving SKUs to a recurring supply chain program lowers per-unit cost and removes one-time bulk payment pressure
- Warehouse absorption — DIZPOT holds excess inventory on Elevate's behalf when timing shifts, rather than passing that cost or risk back to them
None of this is new, it's the same infrastructure that's been running for three years. What's new is Elevate connecting it directly to development speed.
What This Means Going Forward
From Proof of Reliability to Proof of Speed
For three years, the Elevate partnership has been a proof point for reliability: on-time delivery, cost savings, zero disruption. This is the first time that reliability has been directly tied to a speed estimate and it's exactly the kind of proof point that resonates with prospects evaluating packaging partners.
A Partner's Insight, Earned Over Three Years
This estimate isn't a marketing number, it's what Elevate's own team identified after three years of working inside DIZPOT's production and fulfillment process. They know exactly where friction used to live, and exactly what changed when DIZPOT got looped in earlier. That's the kind of insight that only comes from a partner who's been in the trenches long enough to see the full picture.

Thank you to Elevate for the trust to grow alongside you these past three years. Thank you to your team for the partnership, the patience, and the insight that helps us both move faster.
DIZPOT is grateful to be part of how Elevate gets to market.
