Bravo Store Systems | POS Built for Specialty Retail
The POS Platform for Specialty Retail

The Point of Sale Built for Pawn Shops. By People Who Grew Up in One.

Loans. Layaways. Forfeits. Police holds. Buy-sell. Extensions. You run five businesses under one roof — your software should actually know that. Bravo handles the complexity so you can handle the customer standing at your counter right now.

Generic point of sale software wasn't built for this. Bravo was.

Making the Switch

Your Current Software Wasn't Built For Your Industry.

You're not the first. Thousands of stores have made the switch to Bravo — from PawnMaster, from generic retail POS systems, from spreadsheets and filing cabinets. Here's why they moved:

  • Their old system couldn't handle compliance requirements
  • Support meant waiting days, not minutes
  • No eCommerce, no multi-channel, no mobile
  • Data was trapped — no real reporting or visibility
  • The software wasn't built for their industry

"Bravo E4473 saved Alaska Fast Cash from FFL revocation. The ATF walked in unannounced, and we had everything they needed in seconds."

12-second 4473 retrieval
Sound Familiar?

Pick the Problem. We'll Show You the Fix.

Every store owner has that one thing keeping them up at night. Find yours.

"

My counter is chaos. Loans, sales, layaways, buy-sell — and my software can't keep up.

Bravo POS was built for exactly this. Every transaction type your store runs — in one system, on one screen. No workarounds. No bolt-ons. Just a counter that finally works the way you do.

"

If the ATF walked in right now, I'm not sure I could find everything they'd ask for.

Pull any 4473 in 12 seconds. A&D entries logged automatically. Every form cloud-stored, encrypted, and audit-ready. No store on Bravo has ever lost an FFL license.

"

I've got great inventory. But nobody outside my zip code knows it exists.

List once in Bravo — it's live on your website, Buya, UsedGuns, eBay, and Google automatically. Buyers across the country find what you have while you focus on your counter.

"

Customers come in once and I never see them again. I don't have time to chase them.

You don't have to. Bravo sends loan reminders, text campaigns, review requests, and promotions automatically. Your customers come back because your system remembered them — even when you were busy.

"

I know my store is doing okay. But I can't tell you exactly where I'm losing money.

Real-time dashboards that show you what's moving, what's sitting, and where the margin is. Stop guessing. Start seeing what's actually happening — across every location, every day.

"

I've got multiple locations and zero visibility into what's happening at the other stores.

Real-time inventory sync. Shared customers. Cross-store transfers. Consolidated reporting. One dashboard for everything — whether you have 2 locations or 20.

Tally Mack, CEO of Bravo Store Systems — fifth-generation pawnbroker
5th Generation Pawnbroker

"Five generations of my family have stood behind a counter. Helping people. Solving problems. Taking the risk. Bravo exists because I wanted every store owner to have the tools we never did."

Bravo was built by a family that grew up in the pawn industry — five generations of small business owners who worked the counter, lived the long days, and competed against bigger players with deeper pockets. When the technology we needed didn't exist, we built it ourselves. Today, that same obsession powers software for over 4,000 stores across 50 states. Every feature exists because a store owner needed it. Every decision is made by people who understand what's at stake when your system goes down, your compliance falls behind, or your customers stop coming back.

Common Questions

Questions We Hear Every Day

From store owners just like you.

At minimum, you need loan management (new loans, renewals, extensions, forfeitures), buy-sell-trade processing, layaway tracking, inventory management with pricing tools, customer management with ID capture, and state-specific compliance reporting. Beyond the basics, the features that separate good pawn software from great pawn software are things like automated loan reminders that actually reduce forfeitures, built-in eCommerce so your inventory sells online while you work the counter, and real-time reporting that shows you what's actually making money. If you also sell firearms, you need integrated E4473 and bound book management — not a bolt-on from a third party. See Bravo's full pawn shop POS features →
The ATF allows electronic A&D (Acquisition & Disposition) bound books as long as they meet specific requirements — every entry must be searchable, printable, and available for inspection on demand. An electronic bound book automatically logs every acquisition and disposition as transactions happen, which eliminates the handwriting errors and missed entries that get FFLs in trouble. With Bravo, every bound book entry is recorded automatically when you process a transaction. E4473 forms are stored in the cloud and retrievable in 12 seconds. Multi-sale reports are generated automatically. And if you have multiple locations, compliance is synced across all of them. No store using Bravo has ever lost an FFL license due to a compliance failure. Learn about Bravo's E4473 and compliance tools →
Yes — and you should. Most pawn shops and gun stores only sell to the people who physically walk through the door, which means your inventory is invisible to the vast majority of potential buyers. With the right POS system, you can list your inventory once and have it appear on your own branded website, online marketplaces, and Google Shopping without any double-entry or manual uploading. Bravo connects your in-store inventory to your company-branded eCommerce site, the Buya marketplace, UsedGuns.com, eBay, and Google — automatically. Buyers across the country find what you have while you're working the counter. Explore Bravo eCommerce →
An ATF Industry Operations Inspector (IOI) can arrive at your store unannounced during business hours. They'll typically review your A&D bound book for accuracy, check a sample of 4473 forms for completeness and proper retention, verify that your physical inventory matches your records, review any multi-sale transaction reports, and check that your storage and security meet federal requirements. The inspection can take hours or days depending on how organized your records are. The stores that pass quickly are the ones that can pull any form or record instantly — not the ones digging through filing cabinets. That's why retrieval speed matters. With Bravo's cloud-based E4473 storage, any form from any date is available in 12 seconds. Read: How fast can you pull a 4473? →
Managing multiple locations without a unified system means you're constantly logging into different systems, calling stores for inventory counts, and reconciling reports manually. A cloud-based POS solves this by giving you one dashboard with real-time visibility across every store — live inventory sync, shared customer profiles, cross-store transfers, centralized cash management, and consolidated reporting. With Bravo, you can see what every location is doing right now from any device. Transfer inventory between stores with a few clicks. Run a P&L across all locations or drill into one. Whether you have 2 stores or 20, it's one system. See Bravo Enterprise Management →
Pawn shop software pricing varies widely. Basic on-premise systems can start around $500–$900 as a one-time purchase, but they typically lack eCommerce, multi-location support, and cloud access. Cloud-based POS platforms like Bravo use a monthly subscription model that includes ongoing updates, support, compliance tools, and access to features like eCommerce, automated marketing, and mobile apps. The real question isn't what the software costs — it's what it costs you not to have the right tools. Stores on Bravo regularly report increased loan volume, faster inventory turnover, and revenue they were previously leaving on the table. We customize pricing based on your store size and needs. Request pricing for your store →
Yes. Your inventory, customer records, transaction history, loan data, and compliance records can all be migrated to a new system. The key is choosing a provider that has done it before and has dedicated migration tools — not one that hands you a CSV template and says "good luck." Bravo has migrated 4,000+ stores from PawnMaster, Hi-Tech, spreadsheets, and other legacy systems. We handle the entire process. Your store stays open the entire time with zero downtime. Most stores are fully live on Bravo within 30 days. See the full migration process →
That's exactly what Bravo was built for. Most pawn shops aren't just pawn shops — they're gun dealers, they're jewelry stores, they do buy-sell-trade, layaway, consignment, and retail all from the same counter. Generic POS software forces you to pick one workflow and jury-rig the rest. Bravo handles pawn loans, firearm sales with full ATF compliance, buy-sell-trade, consignment tracking, layaway, and standard retail — all in one system, on one screen, with one login. No bolt-ons. No workarounds. See the full POS platform →
On-premise software runs on a server physically in your store. If that server dies, your data goes with it unless you've been manually backing it up. You can only access your system from the store, updates require manual installation, and multi-location management is extremely difficult. Cloud-based software runs on secure remote servers. Your data is encrypted, automatically backed up, and accessible from any device anywhere. Updates happen automatically. Multi-location sync is real-time. And if your internet goes down, Bravo's offline mode keeps your store running until connectivity returns. Bravo is fully cloud-based — which means you can check your reports from home, manage multiple stores from one dashboard, and never worry about losing data to a hardware failure. Learn about Bravo's technology →
This is one of the biggest concerns store owners have when switching — and one of the least justified. With Bravo, most counter staff are processing transactions confidently within their first day. The core transaction training takes about 20 minutes. We don't dump a manual on your desk and disappear. Bravo's onboarding team has worked behind pawn counters — they understand your pace and what matters on day one. You get hands-on training, go-live support, and ongoing help after launch. Your team will be faster on Bravo than they were on your old system within the first week. See the full onboarding experience →
