Compliance best practices and digital strategy was main focus for FFL dealers at annual conference
Celerant Technology, a preferred software provider for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), has wrapped up its 20th annual client conference for FFL dealers. Retailers and industry partners nationwide gathered for three days to share knowledge and best practices. With streamlining ATF compliance and developing a more digital strategy at the forefront, Celerant’s technology experts and industry professionals hosted interactive sessions designed for sportsman retailers.
Key Topics at the 2024 Celerant Client Conference
Celerant’s CEO & President, Ian Goldman, opened the conference with a welcome address highlighting the importance of technology and innovation in driving business in the firearms industry. The conference featured 25 breakout sessions, interactive workshops, and one-on-one meetings for retailers with Celerant experts. Important topics such as using technology to leverage distributors to sell more, streamlining inventory management with mobile devices, expanding online sales beyond just typical eCommerce sales, improving compliance at the point of sale with electronic A&D and enhancing email marketing through personalization, were discussed.

This year’s conference featured Paul Erickson of Management One as the keynote speaker.

The new ‘Client Success Panel’ allowed firearm retailers to listen and learn from fellow dealers about their success with Celerant’s technology offerings. Kevin Chandler from Vance Outdoors, Mitch Tyler from SafeSide Tactical, Corbett Ferrell from D&D Texas Outfitters, and more were on the panel.
