    What is the difference between Vigia AG and Cannavigia?

    Vigia AG is the legal entity of the company that produces the software solution called Cannavigia.

    Where do the names Cannavigia and Vigia come from?

    Vigia, coming from Pharmacovigilance (PV or PhV), also known as drug safety, is the pharmacological science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine-related problems. For our product we have chosen the name Cannavigia derived from “canna” for cannabis and “navigia” for navigation.

    I think Cannavigia could be useful for my company. Are there any materials that I can use for more detailed information or which I can present to the management in my company?

    How are the four Cannavigia modules linked to each other?

    Each module covers a specific step or part of the Cannabis supply chain. We have split our products into four modules to allow you to pick what you need and leave what you don’t need.

    Can I only subscribe for one module or do I have to purchase all four modules?
