Elevated Signals Inc., a global leader in manufacturing software tailored for cannabis producers, has announced that Hale Farm, a vertically integrated cannabis cultivator and processor based in Tasmania, Australia, has chosen its platform to oversee production, quality, and compliance management. This partnership is expected to transform Hale Farm’s operations by helping the company scale more efficiently, reduce the heavy administrative workload associated with regulatory reporting, and position itself for long-term growth, including future Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification.
Hale Farm’s Rapid Rise in the Australian Cannabis Industry
Founded in 2022, Hale Farm is one of the newer entrants into Australia’s regulated cannabis sector. Despite its relatively short history, the company has already built a reputation as one of the country’s most forward-thinking licensed producers. Hale Farm has embraced both large-scale outdoor cultivation and premium indoor flower production, demonstrating a dual commitment to efficiency and product quality. Alongside this, it has invested in solventless concentrate production—an increasingly popular category among medical cannabis patients seeking high-purity products.
Hale Farm’s product portfolio is diverse, encompassing traditional high-THC varieties as well as innovative low-THC cannabinoid strains, including cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabidivarin (CBDV). These specialized cannabinoids are gaining traction in the medical cannabis market, with research suggesting they could play roles in treating inflammation, neurological disorders, and other conditions. By focusing on both mainstream and emerging cannabinoid categories, Hale Farm has positioned itself as a cultivator and processor that caters to the evolving demands of Australia’s medical cannabis patients and international markets.
The Shift From Paper to Digital
As Hale Farm expanded its capabilities and brought more processing functions in-house, the leadership team recognized a growing challenge: its reliance on paper-based logs and spreadsheets for record-keeping was becoming unsustainable. The cannabis industry is heavily regulated, and producers must submit detailed reports to the Office of Drug Control (ODC) to maintain compliance. These requirements involve tracking every step of cultivation, harvest, processing, and distribution.
For Hale Farm, manual systems were proving inefficient. Administrative tasks were consuming valuable time that could otherwise be devoted to innovation, research, or customer service. Quarterly ODC reports alone were eating up nearly an entire week of staff hours. Recognizing the inefficiencies, the leadership team began searching for a software solution that could consolidate record-keeping, streamline compliance, and provide real-time visibility into operations.
Elevated Signals emerged as the ideal partner. Its software enables cannabis producers to consolidate cultivation and processing data into a single, digital platform. Batch-level information becomes instantly accessible, and reporting functions can generate compliance-ready documents in minutes instead of days.
Productivity Gains and Long-Term Value
David Grolman, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Hale Farm, highlighted the transformative impact he expects the software to deliver:
“With our paper-based system, we were spending at least a day a week on manual data entry. In addition, quarterly ODC reporting would consume the best part of a week. We expect a five-times productivity saving on reporting with Elevated Signals,” Grolman explained.“With our paper-based system, we were spending at least a day a week on manual data entry.

The COO emphasized that the decision to adopt Elevated Signals was not only about efficiency but also about setting a foundation for sustainable growth.
“We explored other systems, but Elevated Signals was by far the best fit. It’s flexible, easy to use, and built specifically for cannabis manufacturing. With the software in place, we’ll be able to free up our team for more valuable work and have a solid foundation for future growth. The Elevated Signals team really knows the industry, and that gave us confidence we were making the right call.”
Elevated Signals: A Platform Built for Regulated Markets
Elevated Signals is no stranger to the challenges faced by cannabis producers worldwide. Its software is already deployed by licensed operators across multiple highly regulated markets, from North America to Europe. The platform unifies inventory management, batch production records, quality assurance, and compliance reporting within a single ecosystem. This comprehensive approach eliminates the inefficiencies of fragmented systems and ensures producers maintain full traceability from seed to sale.
One of the distinguishing features of Elevated Signals’ platform is its adaptability. Every cannabis producer has unique workflows, depending on the size of their operations, cultivation methods, and product categories. Elevated Signals allows clients to configure the system to align with their existing processes without sacrificing regulatory compliance. This flexibility has made it a trusted choice for both startups and large multinational producers.
A Strategic Move for the Future
For Hale Farm, adopting Elevated Signals is more than a short-term efficiency play—it is a strategic decision to prepare for the next phase of its business. As the company scales and pursues GMP certification, robust data management will be critical. GMP standards, recognized globally, require meticulous documentation of every aspect of production to ensure safety, consistency, and quality. By implementing Elevated Signals now, Hale Farm is laying the groundwork for smooth certification processes and access to broader export markets in the future.
Amar Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Elevated Signals, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration:
“We’re thrilled to partner with Hale Farm as they expand and lead innovation in the Australian cannabis market. David and his team understand the importance of building robust systems early, so they can grow efficiently, maintain product quality, and remain agile in a competitive industry.”
Australia’s Evolving Cannabis Landscape
The partnership also underscores the growing sophistication of Australia’s cannabis sector. Since the legalization of medical cannabis in 2016, the industry has steadily evolved, with Tasmania emerging as a hub due to its favorable climate for cultivation and supportive regulatory framework. Producers like Hale Farm are driving innovation not only in cultivation techniques but also in how technology is integrated into everyday operations.
As competition intensifies and patient demand grows, the ability to produce high-quality products consistently while staying compliant with complex regulations will determine which companies thrive. By investing in advanced digital infrastructure, Hale Farm is positioning itself as a long-term leader in the space.
