Why Should You Consider Exerve
Imagine how much time you can save by replacing your manual Bound Book with an automated solution. Image how much you can save by freeing the time of a dedicated employee to maintain your Bound Book manually, and think of the reduction in errors. And best of all, any employee can find the history for a serial number in a matter of seconds with an easy to use automated inquiry.
Besides maintaining your Bound Book, The Firearms Module offers many additional features to streamline your business and reduce costs.
Track Federal Firearms License Numbers – Easily track FFL (Federal Firearms License) numbers along with their expiration dates to ensure that the customer is eligible to purchase a firearm.
Track and Quickly Find BATF Required Serial Numbers – Quickly find any serial number and all history, including acquisition, sale, returns and resales.
Track Federal Tax on First Sales – For importers, easily track the first sale of a firearm that is liable for federal tax, and track the federal tax due.
Track Federal Tax Rebates – For sales to Police Departments or other exempt customers, you can easily track federal excise tax rebates.
Easily Track Consignments, Show Guns and Test & Evaluations – You can easily track firearms that are on consignment for display at gun shows, and then bring the firearms back into active stock. For law enforcement sales, we also handle tracking guns on consignment for a test and evaluation period.
Secured, Bound Book – As serial number transactions occur, they are captured in a secured, automated Bound Book and are available for inquiry or reporting. However, while your employees can view Bound Book transaction activity, it is secure and they cannot change it.
Variances / Assemblies – For dealers that require assembly, (adding a magazine, a clip, a holster, etc.) a simple assembly is available.
Bound Book for Service – A separate automated Service Bound Book is available for your Service Department to track a serial number when a firearm is taken in for service or repair and when the firearm is returned to the owner.
Ammunition Lot Tracking – When required, you can easily track, inquire and report on lot numbers for ammunition.
