Did you know that Fishbowl Inventory is an ideal inventory management solution for gun manufacturers and retailers? The reason is because Fishbowl Inventory offers all the features you need to track the information required by the U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
To aid in public safety and to keep guns from falling into the wrong hands, ATF requires firearm makers and sellers to monitor certain data about all the weapons they sell. That way there’s a clear paper trail between a gun used at the scene of a crime and its point of origin.
Here are the most important things ATF requires companies in the gun industry to keep track of:
- Gun type
- Gun caliber
- Supplier
- Gun maker
- Gun model and serial number
- Date in and out
- End user’s full name
As I said at the start, Fishbowl Inventory is a great fit for gun manufacturers and retailers because it stores all of this information and makes it easy to retrieve it when necessary.
