Operational

SHOOTING SPORTS - GUN STORE

A Unified Platform Built for Modern Gun Stores

Running a firearms retail business is a unique challenge: retail speed and customer service on one side, strict ATF compliance on the other. Historically, stores needed multiple systems to do the job — one for Point-of-Sale, another for the Bound Book, a website platform, a separate marketing tool, and yet another solution for payments or customer communication.

Coreware changes this by bringing the entire operation into one unified platform.

How Coreware Transforms the Gun Store Workflow

Compliance Happens Automatically — Not as a Separate Task

When a serialized item is received, Coreware automatically generates the acquisition entry. When it’s sold, Coreware links the disposition, initiates the 4473, and ensures every transaction stays clean and traceable.

There is no “going back later” to update records — the system keeps compliance accurate in real time.

Retail That Moves Fast, Without Sacrificing Accuracy

Coreware gives staff the speed they need: quick product lookups, barcode scanning, instant customer profiles, and one-tap access to serialized items. At the counter, checkout is clean and simple, even during rush hours.

CoreY Keeps You Informed and Avoids Costly Mistakes

CoreY gives gun stores something they’ve never had before: instant visibility.

“Which calibers are selling fastest this quarter?”

“What are my top-selling brands?”

“Who hasn't visited in 90 days?”

“Show me items nearing 180 days in inventory.”

CoreY analyzes your real-time data and gives you answers instantly, helping you avoid dead stock, stay compliant, and increase revenue.

Marketing and Customer Management Built-In

Coreware nurtures customer relationships with targeted email campaigns, text reminders, abandoned cart recovery, automated review requests, and loyalty follow-ups — all driven by customer behavior.

eCommerce That Syncs Automatically

Your online store reflects your in-store inventory in real time. If an item sells on the website, stock updates. If a new product is received, it can be listed online instantly. Manufacturers’ product data, images, descriptions, and specifications can be pulled in automatically.

Every Coreware plan includes the same powerful foundation—because the tools you need to operate shouldn’t be gated by your plan.
