coreHUD: The Heads-Up Display That Puts Retailers in Control
Running a firearms retail business means juggling a lot of moving parts. Whether it’s managing sales, staying compliant with regulations, keeping inventory up to date, or handling customer inquiries, every day brings new challenges.
That’s why Coreware built coreHUD—a heads-up display designed to streamline operations, provide instant access to critical information, and ensure that retailers always have the tools they need at their fingertips.
If you’re a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), you know an ATF inspection is always a possibility. It’s not a question of if it will happen—it’s a matter of when. And let’s be real: an unprepared retailer scrambling for paperwork when an Industry Operations Investigator (IOI) walks through the door is not a good look.
Imagine you're running your business on a busy Tuesday afternoon, and suddenly, you encounter an issue with your coreSTORE point-of-sale system. Maybe your coreCLEAR 8500 terminal isn’t connecting properly, or perhaps you're wondering how to optimize your e-commerce inventory using coreFORCE.
From The Help Desk
coreSTORE: Manual - Preparing for Your Next ATF Inspection
Why are you being inspected?
A primary responsibility of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) is ensuring that FFLs engage in their business in compliance with the law. This helps protect the public by preventing illegal firearm trafficking and ensuring the successful tracing of crime guns back to the first retail purchaser.
1. Who conducts the inspections?
ATF’s Industry Operations Investigators (IOIs) conduct inspections of FFLs to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and educate licensees on the specific requirements of those laws and regulations. IOIs also review the required records kept by FFLs to identify individuals potentially associated with illegal firearm trafficking or involved in other criminal activity.
2. When and Where
Compliance inspections happen during the licensee’s business hours at their business premises. This may also include the inspection of off-site storage locations, if any.
Generally, ATF will <u>not give advance notice</u> prior to conducting a compliance inspection.
