Sports Center uses Celerant Technology's Retail Management System to Expand
and Maintain Firearm Sales
Staten Island, NY (December 20, 2005)- Sports Center,
a two, soon to be three, store sporting good and firearm retail chain, uses
Celerant Technology's ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives)
approved, Retail Management System to track and manage all firearm sales. Celerant
has enabled business at Sports Center and other firearm retailers to run significantly
faster and improves data integrity within the organization.
"When the ATF comes to your store, it is as serious as an IRS audit. It can
be distressing for the store owner," says Celerant Account Representative, Gary
Ellis. "They want to see all of the activity for guns that have been sold as
well as guns in stock. Specific reports are required showing history and current
status/location of a gun.. They will expect to see that gun in the inventory
if your system shows that it is there. If a certain gun can not be located,
consequences are rather serious."
With Celerant's ATF report program, the retailer, or the ATF inspector, can
pull the required information that might be needed concerning any firearm that
has been purchased and received by the retailer. All of the activity of that
firearm throughout its inventory cycle can be systematically tracked. The reports
and inquires can be selected not only by serial number but also by vendor, model,
date of sale, date of receipt, customer name, and the ATF NICS code assigned
to every gun in the system.
"I carry over 25 different types of guns," says Sport Center owner, Wade Craig.
"All of which are simply entered into the POS.
Celerant permits my store locations to have accurate inventory,
with perfect tracking, as well as customized reporting,
which follows the government requirements for ATF approved firearm retailers,"
stated Wade Craig, store owner. "Numerous times local law enforcement officials,
in addition to ATF inspectors, have come into my store looking for any information
I can provide them with, based solely on a serial number. Now with Celerant,
I can quickly and easily retrieve that information for them, with no worries.
In the past, this process would take hours!"
