Your weekly dose of innovation, inspiration, and insights.

Welcome to This Week’s coreWEEKLY

SHOT Show is coming up, so this week we’re keeping things focused on planning time well, knowing what’s worth attention, and making space for real conversations.

🎯 Let’s Make Time at SHOT Show

We’ll be there, and we’re intentionally carving out time for real conversations. We’re hosting JB & JC from FFL Consultants at our booth, plus one-on-one time with the Coreware team, worth planning around if compliance, inspections, or operations are on your mind.

📊 SHOT Show by the Numbers

SHOT Show is big, bigger than most people realize. This week’s blog breaks down the scale behind the show and why it shapes so much of the year ahead.

🛠 From The Help Desk💡

This week’s guides cover merchant gateways in coreSTORE, checkout settings in coreFORCE, and how to handle mass MAP updates using CSV imports, practical stuff for staying organized as traffic ramps up.

SHOT Show by the Numbers: Staggering Stats Behind the Massive Las Vegas Expo

SHOT Show (short for Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show) is not just any trade show. It's the largest gathering of its kind, and it's packed with more size, energy, and industry power than most people can wrap their heads around. Every January in Las Vegas, the industry descends on the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum for a four-day sprint across gear, guns, and business. But what most people outside the show don't realize is just how massive this thing really is. So here's a hard-hitting look at what makes SHOT Show a beast of a trade event.
