Gun Store and Shooting Sports Point of Sale
Gun stores specialize in the sale of firearms, ammunition and related accessories. The best gun store POS systems tightly track inventory, manage the sale of firearm items and capture and maintain the identity of customers for entry into FFL compliance software. Firearm and ammunition stores can range in size from very small niche shops focusing only on firearms, to shooting ranges, to larger outlets that often sell related merchandise such as hunting gear or hardware. Many shooting sports gun stores also offer repairs and modification services and need point of sale software that includes work order management. Since the sale of firearms and ammunition is highly regulated, gun store point of sale software needs captures relevant information for entry into FFL ‘bound book’ software.

Killer Feature #1: Serial Number Tracking
MicroBiz supports the tracking of serialized inventory or tracking of serial numbers on firearms. You can set whether an item has serial numbers and whether the tracking of serial numbers is required or optional. Serial numbers can be added when the item is received into inventory, from the product record or when an item is sold. The system supports the scanning of bar codes of serial numbers. Serial numbers can be viewed for both sold and unsold items.
