Helping Cannabis Distributors and Transporters Stay Compliant, Keep Teams Paid, and Move Product Without HR or Payroll Bottlenecks

When your job is to move sensitive, high-value cannabis products across city lines—or state borders—the last thing you need is a payroll system that can’t keep up. Between regulatory red tape, license checks, and security requirements, your focus should be on safe, timely delivery—not correcting pay stubs or calling tech support.

At Paragon, we understand the unique pressures cannabis transporters face. We built payroll and HR solutions that move as fast and securely as you do.

Let's Talk Emergency Relief

Stay Compliant While Staying on the Move

Whether you're managing delivery drivers or warehouse teams, we automate payroll, taxes, and filings—so you don’t lose hours chasing down logs or correcting mileage mistakes.

High Turnover? No Problem

From contracted couriers to full-time route coordinators, we track hours and classifications accurately—keeping your operation lean, legal, and ready for anything.

Time Tracking That Travels With You

Our mobile punch and geofencing work on the road, in hubs, or during remote drop-offs—syncing automatically to eliminate gaps and gray areas.

Finally loose unnecessary stress and focus on what matters most.

The Real Problems You’re Facing

You're coordinating dispatch windows, dealing with vehicle downtime, and juggling compliance paperwork—often all at once. Add tight timelines, high turnover, and state-by-state logistics, and it’s no surprise payroll becomes another pain point.

Understaffed, Overstretched—and Still Expected to Comply

You’re making routes work with limited drivers and high expectations, while still being held to rigorous compliance.

Scheduling is a Full-Time Job

Between last-minute callouts and route changes, logistics scheduling gets chaotic fast. We help you stay ahead.

Vendors Who Don’t Understand Cannabis Logistics? Hard Pass.

Most providers don’t know the difference between last-mile delivery and cross-state compliance. We do—and we offer team training through Canna U to back it up.

Word on the Street

“I will say, I am quite impressed with Paragon’s commitment to the cannabis industry. From seeing ads, to your posts on LinkedIn on Paragon’s behalf etc. I am just very happy to see a company that is so openly stating that they support us. It’s a very nice change from what seems to be the norm. Two thumbs up to you guys at Paragon!

Also, I forgot to add, that not only is great to see the support of the industry, but Paragon seems to one of the few if not the only payroll company that seems to understand the pricing schedule that is realistic within this industry. Too many companies operate under the “cannabis tax” model when doing business with a cannabis company that further strains the success of the growth of this industry. So, I am very thankful that Paragon is not one of those companies and is realistic with their fees.”

Owner With It Weed

“We transitioned to isolved at the first of this year. Naturally, that came with a steep learning curve for our payroll processing. With other payroll software transitions in my career, this has been a very difficult process.
Ever since our implementation resource was introduced, it's been like having someone right beside me along the way to ensure things are 100% accurate. She's taken a ton of questions from me over the past few weeks and provided timely (and accurate) answers to every one of them. She made this transition easier than anything I've seen doing payroll for over 18 years. It's obvious she knows the system inside-and-out because she knew how to explain complex procedures in an easy-to-understand way. I could write paragraphs on how she walked me through our complex payroll and increased my understanding of the isolved platform. This is even more commendable since we are a PEO, which only adds to the complexity of how we are using the program.

In short, she is my hero!"

Owner UpSource PEO

"Paragon's service has been great. Implementation and support have been very responsive and helped us out when we needed to find a new provider and had tight timeframes. They made the process of switching providers nearly painless and they seem to really care and show a lot of empathy for our situation. A big thank you to their team."
