of five people with various skills were selected and assembled by the Ceylon Solutions management.
Fast-forward 4 years and the Ceylon Solutions team has delivered a complete end-to-end desktop and

The Requirement
Simplify the navigation of the regulatory and compliance waters of the cannabis industry. Make it easy
for companies to audit themselves, and ensure that they are always adhering to the laws applicable to
the territories they operate in.
The Solution
Ceylon Solutions was able to deliver the most advanced platform of its kind to Simplifya’s B2B
customers; to ensure they stay within the legal boundaries of the industry and relevant states. Self-
auditing and documenting features relevant to the industry form the essence of the platform with ease
and simplicity being the guiding light. Today, Simplifya customers include licensed operators, financial
institutions, insurance companies, government, third -party audit companies and law firms.
Challenges
Collating and organizing legal requirements whilst safe-keeping the relevant documents have proved to
be a complicated exercise. However, with the experience gained over the years and the ingenuity of the
team has ensured that the Simplifya products continue to be ranked at the very top of the industry for
its completeness, ease of use, and client-focussed approach.
Ceylon’s team has worked hard to remove both traditional language barriers and time zone barriers of using an off-shore software developer. They understand how the cannabis industry is evolving, and how to foster growth in the industry. We greatly appreciate their willingness to work with us on creative solutions and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership for the foreseeable future.
Rick MatsumotoCOO, Simplifya
I’ve been working directly with Ceylon for over three years, and our team always steps up to the challenge. Ceylon provides us with end-to-end software capabilities and performs strongly across all facets of deployment, development, and QA. Our team has been instrumental in the evolution of our product, most recently by leading us through an end-to-end overhaul of our software architecture. Their technical expertise and passion for collaboration are two of the biggest reasons our software is where it is today. Ceylon does everything possible to mitigate the complexities of being offshore, and truly functions as an extension of us.
