Compare Coreware vs. FastBound

Coreware is an all-in-one platform built specifically for FFLs, including gun stores, shooting ranges, and online firearms retailers. Instead of juggling disconnected systems, Coreware brings point-of-sale, inventory, eCommerce, payment processing, and compliance into one connected platform. Designed to eliminate double data entry and streamline audit prep, Coreware centralizes serialized inventory tracking, vendor purchasing, electronic bound books, and digital ATF Form 4473 workflows right at the counter. Live distributor catalog feeds expand your inventory automatically, while integrated, firearm-friendly payment processing keeps checkout fast, secure, and seamless. Native CRM and marketing tools keep customer histories organized and drive repeat sales without third-party apps. From single-register shops to multi-location operations, Coreware provides real-time visibility across all sales channels, reduces duplicate work, and frees staff to focus on customers. For shooting ranges and training facilities, Coreware handles lane reservations, firearm rentals, digital safety waivers, and recurring membership billing directly through the register. Built-in work orders streamline gunsmithing jobs, parts tracking, and custom service ticketing from intake to final pickup. Automated purchasing tools monitor stock velocity to generate purchase orders and manage inventory transfers across multiple retail storefront locations. Direct dropshipping feeds let retailers sell millions in wholesale distributor products without upfront stocking costs, giving store owners complete control over their daily operations.
