A system for monitoring access to a contained medication is disclosed. The system includes a server configured to store user information for each of a plurality of registered users. The system also includes a smart container configured to hold a medication. The smart container includes a processor configured to (a) detect a user device of a user in possession of the smart container, (b) determine if the user device is associated with one of the registered users, and (c) if the determination is affirmative, manage a user session with the user device and transmit one or more session messages to the server. The server is configured to store a transaction corresponding to each of the session messages to thereby create a transaction history for the smart container.

A system enables dispensing, tracking, storage, processing, analysis, management, fulfillment and/or commerce relating to dispensables, such as consumables. The system may include packages that hold consumables and function either independently or in concert with numerous smart configuration devices, such as tabletop machines or mobile machines, as well as remote servers, databases, and other cloud-based resources. A distributed software layer ties all devices and packages together and adds advanced interactivity, communication, analysis, and self-regulation functionality.
